SERVICE OF THE WORD
Morning Offering: Church ministries, as we sing:
Songs of Preparation: “Knowing You”
All I once held dear, built my life upon, all this world reveres
and wars to own,
All I once thought gain I have counted loss, spent and worthless
now compared to this.
Refrain: Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you, there is
no greater thing. You’re my all,
You’re the best, you’re my joy, my
righteousness, and I love you, Lord.
Now my heart’s desire is to know you more, to be found in you, and known as yours.
To possess by faith what I could not earn, all surpassing gift of
righteousness.(Refrain)
Oh, to know the pow’r of your
risen life and to know you in your sufferings,
To become like you in your death, my Lord, so with you to live and
never die.(Refrain)

God” #654

Song of
Response: “This World Is Not My
Home”
This world is not my home, I'm just
passing through.
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Refrain: O Lord you know I have no friend like
you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
They're all expecting me and that's one thing
I know.
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go.
I know He'll take me through, though I am weak and
poor. Refrain
Just up in
The Saints on every hand are shouting victory.
Their song of sweetest praise drifts back from Heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. Refrain
