Entrance Hymn | My Soul Is Thirsting (Angrisano)

Refrain
My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord
Thirsting for You, my God
My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord
Thirsting for You, my God
Thirsting for You, my God

Verses
O God, You are my God
And I will always praise You
In the shadow of Your wings
I cling to You
And You hold me high

Through the day You walk with me
All the night Your love surrounds me
To the glory of Your name
I lift my hands
I sing Your praise

I will never be afraid
For I will not be abandoned
Even when the road grows long
And weary Your love will rescue me

Psalm | If Today You Hear His Voice (Colson)

If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts
R./ If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts

Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord
Let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation

Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving
Let us joyfully sing psalms to Him

R./ If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts

Come, let us bow down in worship
Let us kneel before the Lord who made us

For He is our God, and we are the people He shepherds
The flock He guides

R./ If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts

Oh, that today you would hear His voice
“Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as in the day of the Massah in the desert,
where your fathers tempted me;
They tested me though they had seen my works.”

Offertory Hymn | I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (Bolduc)

Verses 1 & 2
I heard the voice of Jesus say
“Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast”
I came to Jesus as I was
So weary, worn, and sad
I found Him in a resting place
And He has made me glad

I heard the voice of Jesus say
“Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one;
Stoop down, and drink, and live”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life giving stream
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived
And now I live in Him

Refrain
I will rest,
I will rest in,
I will rest in You

Verse 3
I heard the voice of Jesus say
“I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto me, your morn shall rise
and all your day be bright”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my star, my sun
And in that light of life, I’ll walk
’til traveling days are done

Communion Hymn | I Am Yours (Consume Me, Completely) (Thompson)

Refrain
Bread of Life, Wine of Peace
Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
Consume Me, completely
I am yours

Verses
I surrender
to the power of Your love
And I surrender
Let Your will be done in me

Lead me to the silence
where You whisper to my heart
Lead me to the place
Where Your love consumes me

Let Your light shine
Let it shine in my heart
Let Your light shine
Let me be Your light in this world

Recessional Hymn | Let Your Mercy Wash Over Me (Thompson)

Refrain (All – Women during Verses)
Let Your mercy wash over us
like the rainfall refreshing the earth
Let Your mercy wash over us
We Your people are thirsting for You

Verses (Men only)
As the deer longs for waters,
flowing waters
from the stream, O my soul
longs for You, God

And the thirsty, let them come
to the fountain of life
Come and drink
and be refreshed
