Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
Romans 5:1-5 (NKJV)
"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
Prayer
Almighty God, salvation belongs to You. Be exalted in the praises of all people You have redeemed. Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to You forever and ever. Amen.
Worship through Songs
Lyrics - Onward, Christian Soldiers
TEXT: Sabine Baring-Gould | MUSIC: Arthur S. Sullivan
[Verse 1]
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
Christ, the royal Master
Leads against the foe
Forward into battle
See His banners go
[Refrain]
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
[Verse 2]
At the sign of triumph
Satan’s host doth flee
On, then, Christian soldiers
On to victory
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise
Christians, lift your voices
Loud your anthems raise
[Refrain]
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
[Verse 3]
Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God
Christians, we are treading
Where the saints have trod
We are not divided
All one body, we
One in hope and doctrine
One in charity
[Refrain]
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
[Verse 4]
Onward, then, ye people
Join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song
Glory, laud, and honor
Unto Christ, the King
This thro’ countless ages
Men and angels sing
[Refrain]
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
Lyrics - Under His Wings
TEXT: William O. Cushing | MUSIC: Ira D. Sankey
[Verse 1]
Under His wings I am safely abiding
Tho’ the night deepens and tempests are wild
Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me
He has redeemed me, and I am His child
[Chorus]
Under His wings, under His wings
Who from His love can sever
Under His wings, my soul shall abide
Safely abide forever
[Verse 2]
Under His wings―what a refuge in sorrow
How the heart yearningly turns to His rest
Often when earth has no balm for my healing
There I find comfort, and there I am blest
[Chorus]
Under His wings, under His wings
Who from His love can sever
Under His wings, my soul shall abide
Safely abide forever
[Verse 3]
Under His wings―O what precious enjoyment
There will I hide till life’s trials are o’er
Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me
Resting in Jesus, I’m safe evermore
[Chorus]
Under His wings, under His wings
Who from His love can sever
Under His wings, my soul shall abide
Safely abide forever

[Verse 1]
Oh, I’ve heard a thousand stories
Of what they think You’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
And You tell me that You’re pleased
And that I’m never alone
[Chorus]
You’re a good, good Father
It’s who You are, it’s who You are
It’s who You are
And I’m loved by You
It’s who I am, it’s who I am
It’s who I am
[Verse 2]
Oh and I’ve seen many searching
For answers far and wide
But I’ve known that we’re all searching
For answers only You provide
‘Cause You know just what we need
Before we say a word
[Chorus]
You’re a good, good Father
It’s who You are, it’s who You are
It’s who You are
And I’m loved by You
It’s who I am, it’s who I am
It’s who I am
[Bridge]
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
[Bridge]
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
[Verse 3]
Oh, this love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love, love, love
[Chorus]
You’re a good, good Father
It’s who You are, it’s who You are
It’s who You are
And I’m loved by You
It’s who I am, it’s who I am
It’s who I am
[Bridge]
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
[Bridge]
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us

R-26 THE GOOD SHEPHERD 好牧者
John 10:7-16; 27-29 (NKJV)
Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

[Verse 1]
Deep in my heart there’s a gladness
Jesus has saved me from sin
Praise to His name, what a Savior
Cleansing without and within
[Refrain]
Why do I sing about Jesus
Why is He precious to me
He is my Lord and my Savior
Dying, He set me free
[Verse 2]
Only a glimpse of His goodness
That was sufficient for me
Only one look at the Savior―
Then was my spirit set free
[Refrain]
Why do I sing about Jesus
Why is He precious to me
He is my Lord and my Savior
Dying, He set me free
[Verse 3]
He is the Fairest of fair ones
He is the Lily, the Rose
Rivers of mercy surround Him
Grace, love and pity He shows
[Refrain]
Why do I sing about Jesus
Why is He precious to me
He is my Lord and my Savior
Dying, He set me free
Worship through Prayer
Lord, thank You that I am never alone in this life. Your Holy Spirit remains in me. I never have to face life on my own. Help me to stand firm in this truth and face challenges by faith with full confidence in You.
Forgive me when trials make me lose sight of You. When Your glory is clouded by my lack of faith, hold me fast. Help me overcome my unbelief and restore my spiritual sight to see Your loving presence clearly.
Let me not be deceived into thinking that I can rely on my own wisdom and strength to face challenges. I need You. Apart from You, there is no salvation. You alone are my Helper and Deliverer. Lord, save me from all my troubles. Help!
