This I Believe (The Creed)

Our Father everlasting
The all creating One
God Almighty
Through your Holy Spirit
Conceiving Christ, the Son
Jesus, our Saviour

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ, the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in One

I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

Our judge and our defender
Suffered and crucified
Forgiveness is in you
Descended into darkness
You rose in glorious life
Forever seated high

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ, the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in One

I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

I believe in you
I believe you rose again
I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord

I believe in life eternal
I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the saints’ communion
And in your holy church

I believe in the resurrection,
when Jesus comes again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ, the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in One

I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus
For I believe in the name of Jesus

Scripture Reading: (Isaiah 9:6)

There is One Gospel

There is one Gospel on which I stand
For all eternity
It is my story,
my Father’s plan
The Son has rescued me

Oh what a Gospel,
oh what a peace
My highest joy and my deepest need
Now and forever, he is my light
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ

There is one Gospel to which I cling
All else I count as loss
For there where justice and mercy meet
He saved me on the cross
No more I boast in what I can bring
No more I carry the weight of sin
For he has brought me from death to life
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ

There is one Gospel where hope is found,
the empty tomb still speaks
For death could not keep my Saviour down,
He lives, and I am free!

Now, on my Saviour, I fix my eyes,
my life is his and his hope is mine
For he has promised I, too, will rise
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
And in this Gospel the church is one
We do not walk alone
We have his Spirit as we press on
To lead us safely home
And when in glory still I will sing
Of this old story that rescued me
Praise to my Saviour,
the King of life
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
[repeat]

Prayer of Praise

Sermon

Communion Fencing

Communion Song: “Only a Holy God

Who else commands all the hosts of heaven
Who else could make every king bow down
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles
Only a holy God

What other beauty demands such praises
What other splendor outshines the sun
What other majesty rules with justice
Only a holy God

Come and behold him
The one and the only
Cry out sing holy, forever a holy God
Come and worship the holy God

What other glory consumes like fire
What other power can raise the dead
What other name remains undefeated
Only a holy God

Come and behold him
The one and the only
Cry out sing holy, forever a holy God
Come and worship the holy God
[repeat]

Who else could rescue me from my failing
Who else would offer his only Son
Who else invites me to call him Father
Only a holy God
Only my holy God

Come and behold him
The one and the only
Cry out sing holy, forever a holy God
Come and worship the holy God
[repeat]

Come and worship the holy God

Come and behold him
The one and the only
Cry out sing holy, forever a holy God
Come and worship the holy God
