Worship through Songs
TEXT: Walter Chalmers Smith | MUSIC: John Roberts
[Verse 1]
Immortal, invisible, God only wise
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days
Almighty, victorious一Thy great name we praise
[Verse 2]
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love
[Verse 3]
To all, life Thou givest一to both great and small
In all life Thou livest一the true life of all
Thy wisdom so boundless, Thy mercy so free
Eternal Thy goodness for naught changeth Thee
[Verse 4]
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight
All praise we would render一O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee

[Verse]
When I look into Your holiness
When I gaze into Your loveliness
When all things that surround
become shadows in the light of You
When I’ve found the joy of reaching Your heart
When my will becomes enthralled in Your love
When all things that surround
become shadows in the light of You
[Chorus]
I worship You; I worship You
The reason I live is to worship You
I worship You; I worship You
The reason I live is to worship You
[Verse]
When I look into Your holiness
When I gaze into Your loveliness
When all things that surround
become shadows in the light of You
When I’ve found the joy of reaching Your heart
When my will becomes enthralled in Your love
When all things that surround
become shadows in the light of You
[Chorus]
I worship You; I worship You
The reason I live is to worship You
I worship You; I worship You
The reason I live is to worship You

[Verse 1]
I will sing of my Redeemer
And His wondrous love to me
On the cruel cross He suffered
From the curse to set me free
[Refrain]
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer
With His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon
Paid the debt and made me free
[Verse 2]
I will tell the wondrous story
How, my lost estate to save
In His boundless love and mercy
He the ransom freely gave
[Refrain]
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer
With His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon
Paid the debt and made me free
[Verse 3]
I will praise my dear Redeemer
His triumphant power I’ll tell
How the victory He giveth
Over sin and death and hell
[Refrain]
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer
With His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon
Paid the debt and made me free
[Verse 4]
I will sing of my Redeemer
And His heavenly love to me
He from death to life hath bro’t me
Son of God, with Him to be
[Refrain]
Sing, O sing of my Redeemer
With His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon
Paid the debt and made me free
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-44 THIRSTING FOR GOD 渴慕真神
Psalm 42:1-5 (NKJV)
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
“Where is your God?”
When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.

[Verse 1]
Oft times the day seems long
Our trials hard to bear
We’re tempted to complain
To murmur and despair
But Christ will soon appear
To catch His Bride away
All tears forever over
In God’s eternal day
[Chorus]
It will be worth it all
When we see Jesus
Life’s trials will seem so small
When we see Christ
One glimpse of His dear face
All sorrow will erase
So bravely run the race
‘Til we see Christ
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the sky looks dark
With not a ray of light
We’re tossed and driven on
No human help in sight
But there is One in heaven
Who knows our deepest care
Let Jesus solve your problem
Just go to Him in prayer
[Chorus]
It will be worth it all
When we see Jesus
Life’s trials will seem so small
When we see Christ
One glimpse of His dear face
All sorrow will erase
So bravely run the race
‘Til we see Christ
[Verse 3]
Life’s day will soon be o’er
All storms forever past
We’ll cross the great divide
To glory, safe at last
We’ll share the joys of heaven
A harp, a home, a crown
The tempter will be banished
We’ll lay our burden down
[Chorus]
It will be worth it all
When we see Jesus
Life’s trials will seem so small
When we see Christ
One glimpse of His dear face
All sorrow will erase
So bravely run the race
‘Til we see Christ
Worship through Prayer
Lord, You alone are all-knowing. I rest assured that You who love me know all things. My life is safe and secured in You despite the many unknown factors that affect my life.
Lord, protect me from any deceiver who might plan evil against me. Give me wisdom to discern the truth and strength to respond with grace and goodness.
Lord, You are my lot and my portion. Whatever that might be taken away from me through lies or deceptions, I pray that I would still turn to You with thanksgiving. You are the Giver of good gifts. I need not grab or steal from anyone to gain riches in this world. Let me act with integrity and truth always for Your glory.
Let my life testimony be marked by truth and integrity. Let no deception be part of me. For Your Name's sake, remove any falsehood in my life. Empower me with Your Holy Spirit to live in truth and grace.
