IN MY HEART THERE RINGS A MELODY Hymn 502

I have a song that Jesus gave me, It was sent from heaven above; There never was a sweeter melody, 'Tis a melody of love.

In my heart there rings a melody, There rings a melody with heaven’s harmony; In my heart there rings a melody; There rings a melody of love

I love the Christ who died on Calvary, For He washed my sins away; He put within my heart a melody, And I know it's there to stay.

In my heart there rings a melody, There rings a melody with heaven’s harmony; In my heart there rings a melody; There rings a melody of love

'Twill be my endless theme in glory, With the angels I will sing; 'Twill be a song with glorious harmony, When the courts of heaven ring.

In my heart there rings a melody, There rings a melody with heaven’s harmony; In my heart there rings a melody; There rings a melody of love

CHILDREN’S TIME

THE CALL TO WORSHIP (from Psalm 92)

Minister: The LORD reigns; He is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed; He has put on strength as His belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.

People: Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting to everlasting.

Minister: The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.

People: Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty!

Prayer of Confession Awesome and compassionate God, You have loved us with unfailing, self-giving mercy, but we have not loved You.

You constantly call us, but we do not listen You constantly call us, but we do not listen. You ask us to love, but we walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped in our own concerns.

We condone evil. God of grace, as You come to us in mercy, we repent in spirit and in truth,

admit our sin, and gratefully receive Your forgiveness through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Lord, hear our prayers.

SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION

Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel (Psalm 32)

Minister: I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

You are a hiding place for me; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with shouts of deliverance.

Proclamation of Scripture:   Hebrews 10:24-25 New Living Translation (NLT)

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
