Before the Throne of God AboveBefore the throne of God above

I have a strong, a perfect plea;A great High Priest, whose name is

Love,Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands.My name is written on His heart;

I know that while in Heaven He standsNo tongue can bid me thence depart.No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,And tells me of the guilt within,

Upward I look, and see him thereWho made an end of all my sin.

One in himself, I cannot die.My soul is purchased with His blood.

My life is hid with Christ on high,With Christ, my Savior and my GodWith Christ, my Savior and my God

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb;My perfect, spotless righteousness,

The Great Unchangeable I Am,The King of glory and of grace.

Because the sinless Savior died,My sinful soul is counted free;For God, the Just, is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon meTo look on Him and pardon me

Narrow Little RoadI believe in the love of God

It is an orphan’s wildest dreamIt is a narrow little road

It is an ever-widening desert stream

Oh I, and I, I will leave this roadFor the narrow

(x2)

It is portrayed in the bread and wineLet it fortify my bones

It is more than just a signIt is the fountain from the desert stone


(x2)

The love of God is the hymn of hopeLet the needy join the throngLet the fallen take the rope

Let the cripple rise to sing the song


(x2)

It is the path where the humble goIt is the narrow not the broadIt is the pathway up the hill

To the graveyard of the living God

“Narrow Little Road” (2003)Words & Music: Red Mountain ChurchCCLI: 11148322

Jesus, I My Cross Have TakenJesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee.

Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be.

Perish every fond ambition, All I’ve sought or hoped or known.

Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own.

Let the world despise and leave me; they have left my Savior, too.

Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue.

O while Thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might,

Foes may hate and friends disown me; Show Thy face and all is bright.

Go, then, earthly fame and treasure; Come disaster, scorn and pain

In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain

I have called Thee Abba Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee

Storms may howl, and clouds may gather;

All must work for good to me.

Soul, then know thy full salvation; Rise o’er sin and fear and care

Joy to find in every station; Something still to do or bear.

Think what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father’s smiles are thine,

Think that Jesus died to win thee; Child of heaven, canst thou repine.

Haste thee on from grace to glory; Armed by faith, and winged by prayer.

Heaven’s eternal days before thee, God’s own hand shall guide us there.

Soon shall close thy earthly mission; Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days,

Hope shall change to glad fruition; Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14“Reaching the Finish Line”

Sermon notes @ http://bible.com/e/1H4e

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 9 Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. 10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.

11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one

Shepherd. 12 My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a

weariness of the flesh.

13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,

with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

Do this in remembrance of me…

2 Corinthians 9:7Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion,

for God loves a cheerful giver.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26For I received from the Lord what I also

delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and

when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this

in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup

is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of

me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's

death until he comes.

Let Us Love and Sing and WonderLet us love and sing and wonder,Let us praise the Savior’s name.

He has hushed the law’s loud thunder,He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame.

Let us love the Lord Who bought us,Pitied us when enemies.

Called us by His Grace and taught us,Gave us ears and gave us eyes.

He has washed us with his bloodHe has washed us with his bloodHe has washed us with his blood

He presents us whole to God.

Let us wonder grace and justice,Join and point to mercy’s store.

When through grace in Christ our trust is,

Justice smiles and asks no more.

Let us praise and join the chorus,Of the saints enthroned on high.Here they trusted Him before us,

Now their praises fill the sky.

Let us wonder grace and justice,Join and point to mercy’s store.

When through grace in Christ our trust is,

Justice smiles and asks no more.



“Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder” (1774)Words: John NewtonArr: Jars of ClayCCLI: 11148322

AssuranceWorship Leader: Let us confess this together:Congregation: O, King Jesus, You in Your sinless, perfect Self chose to suffer in our place. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.

To pacify the wrath of Your just Father, You shed Your innocent blood in our stead. By faith in You and Your finished work, we are made clean of all our iniquities.

Worship Leader: Because of this, let this be our prayer:

“Whom have I in heaven but you? And there nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart my fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

- Psalm 73:25-26

It Is WellWhen peace like a river, attendeth

my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say

“It is well, it is well, with my soul.”

It is well with my soul.It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

let this blest assurance control,That Christ has regarded my helpless

estate, and hath shed His own blood for my

soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!

My sin, not in part but the whole!Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no

more; praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my

soul!

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled

back as a scroll.The trump shall resound, and the Lord

shall descend; even so, it is well with my soul.
