Psalm 9:1-2 (NKJV)
I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
Prayer
Praise be to You, O God Most High. You alone deserve all glory and honor on earth and in heaven. How good You are; how excellent are Your ways; how marvelous are all Your works.

Worship through Songs
TEXT & MUSIC: Charles H. Gabriel
[Verse 1]
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me
A sinner, condemned, unclean
[Refrain]
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me
[Verse 2]
For me it was in the garden
He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine”
He had no tears for His own griefs
But sweat-drops of blood for mine
[Refrain]
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me
[Verse 3]
He took my sins and my sorrows
He made them His very own
He bore the burden to Calv’ry
And suffered, and died alone
[Refrain]
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me
[Verse 4]
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see
‘Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me
[Refrain]
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me
Is my Savior’s love for me
TEXT & MUSIC: Will L. Thompson
[Verse 1]
Jesus is all the world to me
My Life, my Joy, my All
He is my Strength from day to day
Without Him I would fall
When I am sad, to Him I go
No other one can cheer me so
When I am sad, He makes me glad
He’s my Friend
[Verse 2]
Jesus is all the world to me
My Friend in trials sore
I go to Him for blessings, and
He gives them o’er and o’er
He sends the sunshine and the rain
He sends the harvest’s golden grain
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain
He’s my Friend
[Verse 3]
Jesus is all the world to me
And true to Him I’ll be
O how could I this Friend deny
When He’s so true to me
Following Him, I know I’m right
He watches o’er me day and night
Following Him, by day and night
He’s my Friend
[Verse 4]
Jesus is all the world to me
I want no better friend
I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when
Life’s fleeting days shall end
Beautiful life with such a Friend
Beautiful life that has no end
Eternal life, eternal joy
He’s my Friend

Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-18 ETERNAL LIFE 永遠活
John 3:16, 5:24, 10:27-29; 1 John 5:11-13 (NKJV)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
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.
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

[Verse 1]
O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end
Be Thou forever near me
My Master and my Friend
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my guide
[Verse 2]
O let me feel Thee near me
The world is ever near
I see the sights that dazzle
The tempting sounds I hear
My foes are ever near me
Around me and within
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer
And shield my soul from sin
[Verse 3]
O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still
Above the storms of passion
The murmurs of self-will
O speak to reassure me
To hasten or control
O speak, and make me listen
Thou guardian of my soul
[Verse 4]
O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend
Worship through Prayer
Be glorified in my life always. I pray that my life brings glory to Your Name in every way. May it be evident to people that Your favor rests upon me because I am Your child. Let me not bring shame to Your Name. But if I do, please redeem and transform the shame for good and bring glory to Yourself.
Thank You, Lord, for the YES answer. My heart is grateful for Your gracious kindness. Thank You for aligning my request to Your will. Now, that You have granted it, may I continue to remember to give thanks in the way I praise You. May people around me be encouraged to praise You too.
Lord, be my first love. Let nothing else take Your place. May none of Your good gifts to me become the center of idolatrous love in my heart. Protect my heart from foolish love. Let it be Yours wholly.
