Response
All Is Well~Joyces, Thurstons
Congregational Response of Praise Rejoice (CCLI#251645)
All the earth rejoice, your Creator reigns
As the only awesome God,
The Alpha and the Omega,
Who was, is, and is to come.
Let the oceans roar and the mountains sing,
He provides for all He has made;
So be comforted as He rules with grace.
Rejoice, all the earth, rejoice!
All the world rejoice, for the baby comes
As a humble prince in the night
The Word made flesh, Emmanuel,
The Everlasting Light.
Let the warmth of heav’n reach the coldest heart
With the gospel of His grace,
For His heel will bruise the serpent’s head.
Rejoice, all the world, rejoice!
All the church rejoice, for your King returns
On a white horse wearing a crown.
He will break the sky with the angel’s shout,
Descending from the clouds.
Then the dead will rise from the land and sea,
All His people will ascend.
We will reign with Him for eternity.
Rejoice, all the church, rejoice!
Then the dead will rise from the land and sea,
All His people will ascend.
We will reign with Him for eternity.
Rejoice, all the church, rejoice!
Rejoice, all the church, rejoice!
Prayer of Worship
The Fullness of Time
Galatians 4:4-7
Pastor:
But when the fullness of time had come,
Congregation:
God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
Pastor:
And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying,
Congregation:
"Abba! Father!"
Pastor:
So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
