“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise His name, I’m fixed upon it,
Name of God’s redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it;
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Welcome and Prayer of Praise
“Be Thou My Vision”
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not, no man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav’n’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

“Ancient Words”
Holy words long preserved for our walk in this world.
They resound with God’s own heart,
O let the ancient words impart.
Ancient words ever true, changing me, changing you,
We have come with open hearts,
O let the ancient words impart.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
Words of Institution and Serving the Elements
“Oceans”
You call me out upon the waters,
The great unknown where feet may fail.
And there I find You in the mystery,
In oceans deep my faith will stand.
I will call upon Your Name,
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise,
My soul will rest in Your embrace,
For I am Yours and You are mine.
Your grace abounds in deepest waters,
Your sovereign hand will be my guide.
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me,
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders,
Let me walk upon the waters,
Wherever You would call me.
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander,
And my faith will be made stronger,
In the presence of my Savior.

“Reckless Love”
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me, before I took a breath
You breathed Your life in me, You have been so, so kind to me
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
O, it chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it, still You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me, when I felt no worth
You paid it all for me, You have been so, so kind to me
There’s no shadow You won’t light up
Mountain You won’t climb up coming after me
There’s no wall You won’t kick down
Lie You won’t tear down coming after me
