Sanctuary (440)

O Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary Pure and holy, tried and true. With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living sanctuary for You.

It was You, Lord, who gave the Savior Heart and soul, Lord, to ev’ry man. It is You, Lord, Who knows my weakness, You refine me with thine own hand.

Lead me O Lord, through temptation, You refine me from within. Fill our hearts with Your Holy Spirit, And take all our sins away.

We’re Marching to Zion

Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, Join in a song with sweet accord And thus surround the throne, And thus surround the throne. We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.

Let those that refuse to sing, Who never knew our God; But children of the heav’nly King, But children of the heav’nly King May speak their joys abroad, May speak their joys abroad. We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.

The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets Before we reach the heav’nly fields, Before we reach the heav’nly fields, Or walk the golden streets, Or walk the golden streets. We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.

Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground, We’re marching through Immanuel’s ground, To fairer worlds on high, To fairer worlds on high. We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, The beautiful city of God.

“Strengthening our Worship” 4343 “Strengthening our Worship” Latrice McGlothin

Worship God wants us to enjoy life not just endure it God gave us emotions and senses We are made in God’s image Reading the Bible and nature = God talking to us Prayer and lifestyle = us speaking to God Our response to God’s love = Worship

Definition The feeling or expression of reverence and adoration of God Adore Devotion Exalt Glorify Honor Pay homage Praise

Definition Anything you do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship

1 Peter 4:10; 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. What gift(s) do you have? Caring for others Counsel Cook Organize Perform Sew Sports Teach

Definition Anything you do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship My gift = the arts

Something to ponder Have you ever heard?…. We sang a hymn then praise and worship song I like the fast praise songs but really enjoy the slow worship songs the best

Something to ponder These phrases suggest that if a song Loud, fast = Praise Slow, quiet = Worship Common misuse of the word Worship

Worship is much more than music Worship has nothing to do with Genre (Country, Rap, Salsa) Style (Acappella, Acoustic) Tempo (Fast, slow) The music styles we prefer are based on our personality and background

Worship is much more than music God loves all music, he invented it all If it is offered to God in spirit and truth it is an act of worship God likes variety and enjoys it all!
