Prayer of Adoration
A Christian’s Daily Prayer
by Dave Fournier, Matt Merker, and Jordan Kauflin
As morning dawns and day awakes, to You I bring my need
O gracious God, my source of strength, in You I live and breathe
Each hour is Yours by wisdom planned,
Each deed empowered by sovereign hands
Renew my spirit, help me stand; Be glorified today
As day unfolds, I seek Your will in all of life’s demands
And though the tempter tries me still, I cling to Your commands
Let every effort of my life
Display the matchless worth of Christ
Make me a living sacrifice; Be glorified today
As sun gives way to darkest night Your Spirit still is here
And though my strength fades like the light new mercies will appear
I rest in You; abide with me
Until our trials and suffering
Give way to final victory; Be glorified, today
I rest in You; abide with me
Until our trials and suffering
Give way to final victory; Be glorified, today… Be glorified, I (we) pray
All Sufficient Merit
By Bethany Bernard
All sufficient merit shining like the sun
A fortune I inherit by no work I have done
My righteousness I forfeit at my Savior's cross
Where all sufficient merit did what I could not
In love He condescended eternal now in time
A life without a blemish the Maker made to die
The law could never save us, our lawlessness had won
Until the pure and spotless Lamb had finally come
CHORUS:
It is done, it is finished, no more debt I owe
Paid in full, all sufficient merit now my own
I lay down my garments, any empty boasts
Good works all corrupted by the sinful host
Dressed in my Lord Jesus, a crimson robe made white
No more fear of judgement, His righteousness is mine
All sufficient merit, firm in life and death
The joy of my salvation shall be my final breath
And when I stand accepted before the throne of God
I'll gaze upon my Jesus and thank Him for the cross
Yes I'll thank You for the cross
Confession of Sin
Deuteronomy 4:35-40
Leader: To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD is God;
All: there is no other besides him.
Leader: Out of heaven he let you hear his voice, that he might discipline you.
All: And on earth he let you see his great fire, and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
Leader: And because he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them and brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power, driving out before you nations greater and mightier than yourselves, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day,
All: know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.
Leader: Therefore you shall keep his statutes and his commandments, which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time."
Silent Prayers
Assurance of Forgiveness
1 Peter 2:9-10
Leader: But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession,
All: that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Leader: Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people;
All: once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Christ Our Hope In Life And Death
by Keith Getty, Matt Boswell, Jordan Kauflin, Matt Merker, Matt Papa
What is our hope in life and death? Christ alone, Christ alone
What is our only confidence? That our souls to Him belong
Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand
CHORUS:
O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
What truth can calm the troubled soul? God is good, God is good
Where is His grace and goodness known? In our great Redeemer’s blood
Who holds our faith when fears arise? Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh, unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
Unto the grave, what shall we sing? “Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring? Everlasting life with Him
There we will rise to meet the Lord, then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy, when Christ is ours forevermore
