SMS ShineWritten by David Crowder

Send me a signA hint, a whisperThrow me a line

'Cause I am listening

Come break the quietBreathe your

awakeningBring me to life

'Cause I am fading

(Surround me) with the rush of angels' wings

Shine Your light so I can see You

Pull me up, I need to be near You

Hold me, I need to feel loveCan You overcome this heart that's overcome?

You sent a signA hint, a whisper

Human divineHeaven is listening

Death laid love quietYet in the night a

Shine Your light so I can see You

Pull me up, I need to be near You

Hold me, I need to feel loveCan You overcome this heart that's overcome?

Oh, the wonder of the greatest love has

come

Shine Your light so all can see it

Lift it up, 'cause the whole world needs it

Love has come, what joy to hear itHe has overcomeHe has overcome

John 4:19-42 p. 738f

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of

worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to

test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:1-2

WORSHIP

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Luke 4:18-19

Prayer

Confession of Faith

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father.

Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and became fully human.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who in unity with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Confession

Just As I am Without One Plea

Written by Charlotte Elliot

Just as I am, without one plea,But that Thy blood was shed for me,

And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about

With many a conflict, many a doubt,

Fightings and fears within, without,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, Thou will receive,Will welcome, pardon,

cleanse, relieve;Because Thy promise I believe,O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, Thy love unknownHas broken every barrier

down;Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine

alone,O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Confession

L: God is light; in him there is no

darkness at all.

C: If we walk in the light as God himself is in the light, we have fellowship with

one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son,

cleanses us from all sin.

L: With steadfast love and wondrous

grace, the Lord desires to make us

clean.

(Silence for self-examination)

L: Almighty God,

C: You dwell in light

unapproachable. Unprotected, we

perish in your presence. For our hearts are

darkened,

our minds clouded; we call

for night to cover our

actions; we have often loved

darkness rather than the light.

L: Jesus Christ is the light of the

world, the light no darkness can

overcome.

C: Therefore, we look only to

Jesus for the forgiveness we so desperately

need.

L: As a Christ follower, God

hears your prayer. “I choose

to make you clean. Your sins

are forgiven,” the Savior says.

C: We have seen Jesus’

glory and his victory in the empty tomb.

Our sin debt has been paid in

full. We are free to rejoice!

Prayer of The Church

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our

sins as we forgive those who

sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver

us from evil, for the kingdom, the power and the

glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

The love of God,

And the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you

always!
