Hymns

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder

Words: John Newton; Altered verse 5: Ian Konopinski
Music: Jars of Clay

1.
Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Savior’s Name!
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder,
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame.
He has washed us with His blood,
He has washed us with His blood,
He has washed us with His blood,
He has brought us nigh to God.

2.
Let us love the Lord who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies,
Called us by His grace, and taught us,
Gave us ears and gave us eyes:
He has washed us with His blood,
He has washed us with His blood,
He has washed us with His blood,
He presents our souls to God.

3.
Let us sing, though fierce temptation
Threaten hard to bear us down!
For the Lord, our strong Salvation,
Holds in view the conqueror’s crown:
He who washed us with His blood,
He who washed us with His blood,
He who washed us with His blood
Soon will bring us home to God.

4.
Let us wonder; grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store;
When through grace in Christ our trust is,
Justice smiles and asks no more:
He who washed us with His blood,
He who washed us with His blood,
He who washed us with His blood
Has secured our way to God.

5.
Let us sing and join the chorus,
May our praises fill the sky
Of the One who’s gone before us,
And is seated now on high:
You have washed us with Your blood,
You have washed us with Your blood,
You have washed us with Your blood,
You are worthy, Lamb of God!

6.
Hark! the Name of Jesus, sounded
Loud, from golden harps above!
Lord, we blush, and are confounded,
Faint our praises, cold our love!
Wash our souls and songs with blood,
Wash our souls and songs with blood,
Wash our souls and songs with blood,
For by Thee we come to God.

Words and Music: Alyssa Karim

1.
We are the Church of God
Sanctified in Christ,
Called to be holy together
With those everywhere
Who call on the name
Of Jesus, their Lord and ours.

Pre-chorus
We were all baptized
By one Spirit
Into one body
By one faith…

Chorus
There is one body,
There is one Spirit,
There is one hope,
To which we have been called;
There is one Lord,
There is one faith,
There is one God
And Father of all.

2.
In Him we’ve been
Bought through the blood,
The forgiveness of all sins,
To bring all things,
On earth and heav’n
Under Jesus Christ, the Head.

Bridge
Though one body, we are many parts,
Many parts in the body of Christ;
Though one body, we are many parts,
Many parts…


Message

“The Church and The Churches, pt. 4”

Message given by Peter McNaughton on May 16, 2021

Revelation 1:10-13, 20
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, 11 saying, “Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands; 13 and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash.

20 As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

John 17:20-23
20 “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
