OFFERTORY So Will I
ORDER OF WORSHIP OPENING PRAYER
Jim Umlauf
Psalm 18:3 Love Divine, All Loves Excelling When All Thy Mercies
LIFE TOGETHER
Johnathan Todd
Joel Houston/Benjamin Hastings/Michael Fatkin
God of creation, there at the start, Before the beginning of time, With no point of reference, You spoke to the dark, And fleshed out the wonder of light.
If the wind goes where you send it so will I; If the rocks cry out in silence so will I; If the sum of all our praises still falls shy, Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times.
And as you speak A hundred billion galaxies are born; In the vapor of your breath the planets form. If the stars were made to worship so will I. I can see your heart in everything you’ve made; Every burning star, a signal fire of grace. If creation sings your praises so will I.
And as you speak A hundred billion failures disappear. Where you lost your life so I could find it here. If you left the grave behind you so will I. I can see your heart in everything you’ve done; Every part designed in a work of art called love; If you gladly chose surrender so will I. I can see your heart Eight billion different ways, and in every precious child you died to save. If you gave your life to love them so will I.
God of your promise, you don’t speak in vain; No syllable empty or void. For once you have spoken, All nature and science Follow the sound of your voice. And as you speak A hundred billion creatures catch your breath, They’re moving in pursuit of what you said. If it all reveals your nature so will I. I can see your heart in everything you say; Every painted sky, a canvas of your grace. If creation still obeys you so will I. If the stars were made to worship so will I; If the mountains bow in reverence so will I; If the oceans roar your greatness so will I. For if everything exists to lift you high so will I.
Like you would again a hundred billion times. But what measure could amount to your desire? You’re the One who never leaves the one behind.
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah Arise, My Soul, Arise You Are the LORD, the King Redeemer

If you’re new to our church, we want your visit to be worshipful, informative, and comfortable. Along with the worship service, there are many other resources available including Sunday School for nursery through 5th grade, youth ministries, and adult classes. They’re a great way to more intimately find the pulse of who we are as a church and connect with others. Just ask any one of our greeters to direct the way. You can find much more on our website at graceevan.org. We’re glad to have you.
