OFFERTORY A NEW AND LIVING WAY BY: J.M. UMLAUF
LIFE TOGETHER Hope of the World His Forever Revelation Song
Entombed in sin’s dominion without hope, without God in the world; provoking God’s great fury, from his grace, my soul was ever hurled.
For his mercy reached through the dreadful deep, through the wells and dregs of my decay; my Great High Priest, sent by the Father, opened up a new and living way.
But his grace supplied.
When facing persecution, from without, but mostly from within, my Shepherd, watching over, guards my life and binds me safely in.
OFFERTORY
Still his grace supplies.
SERMON
For his mercy flowed through the bitter cold, to a worldling who could not obey. My Great High Priest, sent by the Father, opened up a new and living way. God set his wild love upon me, though upon his grace I had no claim; he sought me in my treason; Christ, upon the cross, bore all my shame.
For his mercy flowed to the earth below, holy blood upon the loam and clay; my Great High Priest, sent by the Father, opened up a new and living way.
And his grace supplied.
Yes, his mercy found, with a zeal unbound: chief of sinners, powerless to repay; my Great High Priest, sent by the Father, opened up a new and living way.
