“Lord, I Lift Your Name On High”
Lord, I lift Your name on high, Lord, I love to sing Your praises. I’m so glad You’re in my life, I’m so glad You came to save us. You came from heaven to earth to show the way, From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay; From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky; Lord, I lift Your name on high.
“I Love You, Lord”
I Love Your Lord, and I lift my voice
To worship You, O my soul rejoice. Take joy, My King,
in what You hear, May it be a sweet, sweet sound in You ear.

SONG OF PRAISE “He Keeps Me Singing” Cokesbury #110
Vs 1: There’s within my heart a melody Jesus whispers sweet and low, Fear not, I am with thee, peace be still, In all of life’s ebb and flow.
Chorus: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know, Fills my ev’ry longing, Keep me singing as I go.
Vs. 2: All my life was wrecked by sin and strife, Discord filled my heart with pain, Jesus swept across the broken strings, Stirred the slumb’ring chords again. Repeat Chorus:
Vs. 5: Soon He’s coming back to welcome me, Far beyond the starry sky; I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown, I shall reign with Him on high. Repeat Chorus:
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH UMH #886 Delbert Dearing
“The World Methodist Social Affirmation”
Leader: We believe in God, creator of the world and of all people; and in Jesus Christ, incarnate among us, who died and rose again; and in the Holy Spirit, present with us to guide, strengthen, and comfort.
People: We believe; God, help our unbelief.
Leader: We rejoice in every sign of God’s kingdom: in the upholding of human dignity and community; in every expression of love, justice, and reconciliation; in each act of self-giving on behalf of others; in the abundance of God’s gifts entrusted to us that all may have enough; in all responsible use of the earth’s resources.
People: Glory be to God on high; and on earth, peace.
Leader: We confess our sin, individual and collective, by silence or action: through the violation of human dignity based on race, class, age, sex, nation, or faith; through the exploitation of people because of greed and indifference; through the misuse of power in personal, communal, national, and international life; through the search for security by those military and economic forces that that threaten human existence; through the abuse of technology which endangers the earth and all life upon it.
People: Lord, have mercy; Christ have mercy; Lord, have mercy.
Leader: We commit ourselves individually and as a community to the way of Christ: to take up the cross; to seek abundant life for all humanity; to struggle for peace with justice and freedom; to risk ourselves in faith, hope, and love, praying that God’s kingdom may come.
All: The kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
*GLORIA PATRI UMH #70

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Amen.
