* Songs of Praise: “Grace Greater than Our Sin”
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt,
Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was
spilt.
Refrain: Grace,
grace, God's grace,
Grace that will
pardon and cleanse within!
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that is
greater than all our sin!
Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
Points to the refuge, the mighty cross. Refrain
Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive? Refrain
“To
God Be the Glory”
To God be the glory- great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the lifegate that all may
go in.
Refrain: Praise
the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus, the
Son,
And give Him the glory- great things He hath done!
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood-
To every believer, the promise of God.
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Refrain
Great things He hath taught us; great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus, the Son.
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. Refrain

Offertory
and Song of Preparation: “Thou
Didst Leave Thy Throne”
Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus-
There is room in my heart for Thee!
Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus-
There is room in my heart for Thee!
The foxes found rest and the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus-
There is room in my heart for Thee!
Thou camest, O Lord, with the living
word
That should set Thy people free;
But with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn
They bore Thee to Calvary.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus-
There is room in my heart for Thee!
When the heavens shall ring and and the
angels sing
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room-
There is room at My side for thee."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest
for me!
Scripture: Luke 19: 1-10
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing
through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was,
but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd.4 So he
ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming
that way.
5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up
and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I
must stay at your house today.” 6 So
he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 All the people saw this and began to
mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a ‘sinner.’ ”
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to
the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor,
and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the
amount.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has
come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek
and to save what was lost.”

Hymn
Response and Offertory: “Wonderful
Grace of Jesus”
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin.
How shall my tongue describe it?
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Refrain: Wonderful
the matchless grace of Jesus;
Deeper than the
mighty rolling sea.
Higher than the mountain; sparkling
like a fountain;
All sufficient grace
for even me.
Broader than the scope of my
transgressions, sing it!
Greater far than all
my sin and shame, my sin and shame.
O magnify the
precious name of Jesus;
Praise His name!
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to all the lost.
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. Refrain
* Benediction
* Doxology: “Wonderful Grace of Jesus”
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled.
By its transforming power
Making him God's dear child.
Purchasing peace and heaven
For all eternity;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Refrain: Wonderful
the matchless grace of Jesus;
Deeper than the
mighty rolling sea.
Higher than the mountain; sparkling
like a fountain;
All sufficient grace
for even me.
Broader than the scope of my
transgressions, sing it!
Greater far than all
my sin and shame, my sin and shame.
O magnify the
precious name of Jesus;
Praise His name!
