Welcome to Grace Baptist Church of Paragould’s weekly worship music set list review & service recap. Here you will find a list of the songs we led, but also the readings and prayers from our liturgy.
OPENING SONG
1. 10,000 Reasons
written by: Matt Redman
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP:
Welcome and Good Morning! We sing to God for so many different reasons. We sing because God is our Savior. We sing because he is holy and worthy. We just sang a song called 10,000 reasons, and that doesn’t even come close to numbering how many reasons we should worship God. But today I want to invite you to worship God because of His great love for us. Before we continue let’s begin by hearing from His word.
– Psalm 63:2-5 NIV
“I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.”
Let’s stand and sing together to our Great God
2. Your Love O Lord
written by: Third Day
“Your love, oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the sky”
CONFESSION:
As great as God’s love is for us, we must also remember that we received His love at a great cost.
-Ephesians 5:1–2,
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.”
Let’s pray silently and confess to God that we are not a perfect imitators of Him.
Confess that we need him to make us more like Christ.
Now repent and believe that Christ gave himself up as a sacrifice to make us right before God.
Amen.
3. Man of Sorrows (What A Savior)
rewritten by: Sovereign Grace Music
“Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
“Full atonement!” can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!”
4. The Love of God
written by: Frederick Lehman
“The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.”
SCRIPTURE READING
“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.-”
-Titus 3:4-5.
Jesus was and is the very embodiment of the kindness, love, and mercy of God. As we sing In Christ Alone, remember that it is Jesus alone who saves us, not by our merit, but by his grace.
5. In Christ Alone
rewritten by: Keith Getty
“And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ”
SERMON:
Then Pastor Gerald shared from 1 John 4 on the God of Love.
REFLECTION & COMMUNION
6. Here Is Love
written by: Brian Johnson
“Here is love, vast as the ocean
Loving kindness as the flood
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom
Shed for us His precious blood
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten
Throughout Heaven’s eternal days”
If you have any further questions regarding worship at Grace Baptist please feel free to contact me. I would also like to thank the worship pastors at Sojourn Church in, Louisville, KY for all the help and encouragement I receive from their website. My idea for this part of the blog is borrowed from them. Thank you guys. – Jared
