* SONG OF PRAISE (8AM) All Things Bright and Beautiful Red Hymnal # 147
Refrain All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful: the Lord God made them all.
1 Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors, and made their tiny wings. Refrain
2 The purple-headed mountains, the river running by,
the sunset and the morning that brightens up the sky. Refrain
3 The cold wind in the winter, the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden: God made them every one. Refrain
4 God gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty, who has made all things well. Refrain
* SONG OF PRAISE (10AM) You Are Good Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Lord You are good, and Your mercy endureth forever.
Lord You are good, and Your mercy endureth forever.
People from every nation and tongue, from generation to generation:
We worship You, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We worship You for who You are!
We worship You, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We worship You for who You are,
And You are good! Repeat All
For who You are, and You are good!
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed
Chorus My chains are gone I’ve been set free. My God my Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood His mercy rains, Unending love amazing grace.
The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures. Chorus x2

MESSAGE Babel Revisited Pastor Peace
* HYMN OF FAITH All Are Welcome
1 Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live,
A place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions, Rock of faith and vault of grace;
here the love of Christ shall end divisions:
Refrain All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
2 Let us build a house where prophets speak and words are strong and true,
Where all God’s children dare to seek to dream God’s reign anew.
Here the cross shall stand as witness and a symbol of God’s grace;
here as one we claim the faith of Jesus: Refrain
4 Let us build a house where hands will reach beyond the wood and stone
to heal and strengthen, serve and teach, and live the Word they’ve known.
Here the outcast and the stranger bear the image of God’s face;
Let us bring an end to fear and danger: Refrain
5 Let us build a house where all are named, their songs and visions heard
and loved and treasured, taught and claimed as words within the Word.
Built of tears and cries and laughter, prayers of faith and songs of grace,
let this house proclaim from floor to rafter: Refrain
