CALL TO WORSHIP (1 Chronicles 16)
Oh, give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name
Make known his deeds among the peoples!
Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
Glory in his holy name!
Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

HYMNS OF PRAISE


Where You There?
African-American Spiritual

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

 
O Come and Mourn with Me Awhile
©1999 Eric Ashley Music 
Words: Frederick Faber 
Music: Eric Ashley

O come and mourn with me awhile,
O come ye to the Savior’s side
O come, together let us mourn,
Jesus our Lord is crucified.

Seven times He spake seven words of love;
And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men;
Jesus our Lord is crucified.

Chorus:
O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act Your strength is tried;
And victory remains with love;
Jesus our Lord is crucified!

O break, O break, hard heart of mine!
Thy weak self-love and guilty pride
His Pilate and His Judas were:
Jesus our Lord is crucified.

A broken heart, a fount of tears,
Ask, and they will not be denied;
A broken heart love’s cradle is:
Jesus our Lord is crucified.

Chorus:
O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act Your strength is tried;
And victory remains with love;
Jesus our Lord is crucified!

And victory remains with love;
Jesus our Lord is crucified!
 

Stricken, Smitten & Afflicted
Words:Thomas Kelly, Hymns of Various Passages of Scripture, 1804, alt. 
Music: Wo Ist Jesus, Mein Verlangen, Geistliches Volkslied, 1850

Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See Him dying on the tree!
’Tis the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
’Tis the long expected prophet, David’s Son, yet David’s Lord;
By His Son, God now has spoken: ’Tis the true and faithful Word.

Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His?
Friends through fear His cause disowning, foes insulting his distress:
Many hands were raised to wound Him, none would interpose to save;
But the deepest stroke that pierced Him was the stroke that Justice gave.

Ye who think of sin but lightly, nor suppose the evil great,
Here may view its nature rightly, here its guilt may estimate.
Mark the Sacrifice appointed! See Who bears the awful load!
’Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed, Son of Man, and Son of God.

Here we have a firm foundation, here the refuge of the lost.
Christ the Rock of our salvation, Christ the Name of which we boast.
Lamb of God for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
None shall ever be confounded who on Him their hope have built.


THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father,
Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth as it is Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debtors, As we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory,
Forever and ever, Amen.

SCRIPTURE READING (Micah Brooks)

1 John 4:9-11
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
