9:30 am The Gathering Lyrics

I Am

There’s no space that His love can’t reach
There’s no place where we can’t find peace
There’s no end to amazing grace

Take me in with Your arms spread wide
Take me in like an orphan child
Never let go, never leave my side

I am holding on to You
I am holding on to You
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am

Love like this, O my God to find
I am overwhelmed, what a joy divine
Love like this sets our hearts on fire

I am holding on to You
I am holding on to You
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am

I am holding on to You
I am holding on to You
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

This is my resurrection song
This is my Hallelujah come
This is why it’s to You, I run

There’s no space that His love can’t reach
There’s no place where we can’t find peace
There’s no end to amazing grace

I am holding on to You
I am holding on to You
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on

I am holding on to You
I am holding on to You
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am

In the middle of the storm
I am holding on, I am

Jesus, I Have My Doubts

Jesus, I’m sorry ’bout last night
Jesus, we both know I tried
Jesus, feels like the world’s in pieces

I’m sure You’ve got Your reasons
But I have my doubts
Jesus, I have my doubts

When everything that’s right feels wrong
And all of my belief feels gone
And the darkness in my heart is so strong
Can You reach me here in the silence?

Singing these broken songs
Looking for the light for so long
But the pain goes on and on and on
Can You reach me here in the silence?

Jesus, what a week we’ve had?
Jesus, has the world gone mad?
Jesus, feels like the world’s in pieces
I’m sure You’ve got Your reasons
But I’ve got my doubts
Jesus, I’ve got my doubts
Jesus, I’ve got my doubts

When everything that’s right feels wrong
And all of my belief feels gone
And the darkness in my heart is so strong
Can You reach me here in the silence?

Singing these broken songs
Looking for the light for so long
But the pain goes on and on and on
Can You reach me here in the silence?

Are You there? Can You hear me?
Do You care? Are You near me?
‘Cause I’m scared and I’m weary
Are You there? Can You hear me?
Are You there? Can You hear me?
Do You care? Are You near me?
‘Cause I’m scared and I’m weary
Are You there?

When everything that’s right feels wrong
And all of my belief feels gone
And the darkness in my heart is so strong
Can You reach me here in the silence?

Singing these broken songs
Looking for the light for so long
And the pain goes on and on and on
Can You reach me here in the silence?

Can You reach me here in the silence?

I have my doubts

The Table

I will feast at the table of the Lord
I will feast at the table of the Lord
I won’t hunger anymore
At His table

Come all you weary; come and find
His yoke is easy; His burden light
He is able; He will restore
At the table of the Lord

There is peace at the table of the Lord
There is peace at the table of the Lord
I won’t worry anymore
At His table

There is healing at the table of the Lord
There is healing at the table of the Lord
I won’t suffer anymore
At His table

Come all you weary; come and find
His yoke is easy; His burden light
He is able; He will restore
At the table of the Lord

I know He has a place for me
Oh, what joy will fill my heart
With the saints around the mercy seat of God

Come all you weary; come and find
His yoke is easy; his burden light
He is able; He will restore
At the table of the Lord
At the table of the Lord

I’m invited to the table of the Lord
I’m invited to the table of the Lord
He says, “Come just as you are”
To His table

Prelude: “Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee”
Neil Harmon, arranger

*Call to Worship
Rev. Linda McDermott, Associate Pastor

One: Today is a day to sing praise to God!
All: God blesses us each and every day.
One: Even in the midst of cold and darkness, the warmth of God’s love is real.
All: God is here for us.
One: Let our hearts rejoice and our voices shout praise to God.
All: For God is great and worthy to be praised. Amen.

*Hymn 577: “God of Grace and God of Glory”
God of grace and God of glory,
on the people pour thy power;
crown thine ancient church’s story,
bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour,
for the facing of this hour.

Lo! the hosts of evil round us
scorn thy Christ, assail his ways!
Fears and doubts too long have bound us;
free our hearts to work and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the living of these days,
for the living of these days.

Cure thy children’s warring madness,
bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal.

Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore;
let the search for thy salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving thee whom we adore,
serving thee whom we adore.

*Affirmation of Faith 883
We are not alone, we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the church:
to celebrate God’s presence,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God. Amen.

*Gloria Patri 70
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

**Please be seated

Faith Like a Child
“Mister Mark” Burrows, Director of Children’s Ministries

*Hymn 463: “Lord, Speak to Me”
Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
in living echoes of thy tone;
as thou hast sought, so let me seek
thine erring children lost and lone.

O strengthen me, that while I stand
firm on the rock, and strong in thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
to wrestlers with the troubled sea.

O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious things thou dost impart;
and wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.

O fill me with thy fullness, Lord,
until my very heart o’erflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
thy love to tell, thy praise to show.

O use me, Lord, use even me,
just as thou wilt, and when, and where,
until thy blessed face I see,
thy rest, thy joy, thy glory share.

Scripture: Genesis 15:1-21
God speaks to us through the reading of scripture.
Thanks be to God.

Sermon: “Doubt and Faith”
Dr. Tim Bruster, Co-Senior Pastor
