As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after You.

You alone are heart’s desire, and I long to worship You.

Chorus: You alone are my strength, my shield.

To You alone may my spirit yield.

You alone are my heart’s desire,

and I long to worship You.

I love you more than gold or silver, only you can satisfy.

You alone are the real joy giver, and the apple of my eye. Chorus.

You’re my friend and You’re my brother, even though You are a King.

I love You more than any other, so much more than anything. Chorus.

(Left Side Begins. Right Side follows.)

I will call upon the Lord;

For He is worthy to be praised.

So shall I be saved from my enemies.

I will call upon the Lord.

I will call upon the Lord;

For He is worthy to be praised.

So shall I be saved from my enemies.

I will call upon the Lord.

(Both sides sing together)

The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock,

And may the God of my salvation be exalted.

The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock,

And may the God of my salvation be exalted.

(Left Side Begins. Right Side follows.)

I will call upon the Lord;

for He is worthy to be praised.

So shall I be saved from my enemies.

I will call upon the Lord.

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You

To receive the food of Your holy Word.

Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;

Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,

That the light of Christ might be seen today

In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.

Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us all Your purposes for Your glory.

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;

Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us—

Truths unchanged from the dawn of time

That will echo down through eternity.

And by grace we'll stand on Your promises,

And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us.

Speak, O Lord, as Your church is built

And the earth is filled with Your glory.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows, like sea billows, roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

It is well, it is well with my soul.

Chorus: It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control:

That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul. Chorus:

My sin, O the joy of this glorious thought,

My sin, not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Chorus:

And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,

The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend,

Even so, it is well with my soul. Chorus:

Deeper, Deeper in the love of Jesus

Daily let me go

Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,

More of grace to know.

Chorus: O deeper yet, I pray,

And higher ev’ry day,

And wiser blessed Lord,

In Thy precious, holy word.

Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,

Take me deeper still,

Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus,

And His perfect will Chorus:

Deeper, deeper! tho’ it cost hard trials,

deeper let me go!

Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,

Let me fruitful grow. Chorus:

Deeper, higher, ev’ry day in Jesus,

Till all conflict past,

Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image

Perfected at last. Chorus:

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way.

Thou art the Potter, I am the clay;

Mold me and make me, after Thy will

While I am waiting, yielded and still.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way.

Search me and try me, Master today.

Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,

As in Thy presence humbly I bow.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way.

Wounded and weary, help me, I pray.

Power all power, surely is Thine.

Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way.

Hold o’er my being absolute sway.

Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see

Christ only always, living in me.

Go, My children with My blessing, never alone.

Waking, sleeping, I am with you; you are My own.

In My love’s baptismal river,

I have made you Mine forever.

Go My children, with My blessing – you are My own.

Go, My children, sins forgiven, at peace and pure.

Here you learned how much I love you, what I can cure.

Here you heard My dear Son’s story;

here you touched Him, saw His glory.

Go, My children, sins forgiven, at peace and pure.

Go, My children, fed and nourished, closer to Me;

Grow in love and love by serving, joyful and free.

Here My Spirit’s power filled you;

here His tender comfort stilled you.

Go, My children, fed and nourished, joyful and free.

I the Lord will bless and keep you, and give you peace;

I the Lord will smile upon you, and give you peace;

I the Lord will be your Father,

Savior, Comforter, and Brother.

Go, My children; I will keep you and give you peace.

¹⁰I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. ¹¹I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. ¹²I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ¹³I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

¹⁴Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. ¹⁵Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; ¹⁶for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. ¹⁷Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. ¹⁸I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. ¹⁹And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

C: You who fear Him both small and great

P: For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Hallelujah!

C: Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory!

PRAYER

C: O God of peace, we turn aside from an unsettled world, seeking rest for our spirits, and light for our thoughts. We bring our work to be sanctified, our wounds to be healed, our sins to be forgiven, and our hopes to be renewed. In You there is perfect harmony and peace. Draw us to You and ease the tensions of our lives. Lead us out of the emptiness of this world and fill us with Your peace. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.

CONFESSION OF SINS

P: Dear friends, let us approach God with a true heart and confess our sins, asking Him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to forgive us.

C: Lord of life, I confess that I am by nature dead in sin.

For faithless worrying and selfish pride,

For sins of habit and sins of choice,

For the evil I have done and the good I have failed to do

You should cast me away from Your presence forever.

O Lord, I am sorry for my sins. Forgive me, for Jesus’ sake.

P: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. In His great mercy, God made us alive in Christ even when we were dead in our sins. Hear the word of Christ through His called servant: I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C: Amen.

PRAYER for a Life of Service

C: Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace:

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

Heavenly Father, grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled, as to console;

To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved, as to love;

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

In Your Son’s name, we pray. Amen.

NOTE: After each reading…

P: This is the Word of the Lord.

C: Thanks be to God.

and consider your ways.

APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God the Father, Maker of the heav’n and earth,

And in Jesus Christ, our Saviour, God’s own Son of human birth,

Virgin-born, the Lord incarnate, Whom the Spirit did conceive.

Suffered under Pontius Pilate. He’s the God whom I believe.

Crucified, was dead and buried; Down to hell in victory;

From the dead He rose the third day; Up to heav’n triumphantly.

There at God’s right hand He’s ruling. By His will the world is led.

He will come to judge the nations, Both the living and the dead.

I believe in God the Spirit, In His Church, His chosen band.

They are joined in sweet communion. Holy in His sight they stand.

I believe in sins forgiven. I believe I’ll rise again.

I believe in life eternal. Amen! Amen! Amen!

THANK OFFERING

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen.

Thanks, Thanks, I give You thanks

I am so blessed; my soul is at rest.

O Lord, I give You thanks. (Repeat)

Then, He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, “Drink from it all of you. This cup is the new covenant of My blood poured out for you for the forgiveness of all of your sins. Do this whenever you drink it in remembrance of Me.”

P: The peace of the Lord be with you always.

C: Amen.
