Every step I take, I take in You. You are my way, Jesus. Every breath I take, I breathe in You

La la la la la la La la la la la la la la

Waves of mercy, waves of grace; Everywhere I look I see Your face.

Your love has captured me; O my God, this love, how can it be?

My heart is full of admiration For You, my God and King. Your excellence, my inspiration, Your words of grace have made my spirit sing.

You love what's right and hate all evil, Therefore Your God sets You on high,

And on Your head pours oil of gladness, While fragrance fills Your royal palaces.

All the glory, honour and power Belong to You, belong to You. Jesus, Saviour, Anointed One I worship You, I worship You.

Your throne, O God, will last forever, Justice will be Your royal decree.

In majesty, ride out victorious, For righteousness, truth and humility.

All the glory, honour and power Belong to You, belong to You. Jesus, Saviour, Anointed One I worship You, I worship You,

All the glory, honour and power Belong to You, belong to You. Jesus, Saviour, Anointed One I worship You, I worship You, I worship You, I worship You.

How can I be free from sin, Lead me to the cross of Jesus, From the guilt, the pow'r, the pain, Lead me to the cross of Jesus.

There's no other way, no price that I could pay, Simply to the cross I cling.

This is all I need, this is all I plead, That His blood was shed for me.

Flowing from above, all forgiving love, From the Father's heart to me.

What a gift of grace, His own righteousness, Clothing me in purity.

How can I know peace within, Lead me to the cross of Jesus, Sing a song of joy again, Lead me to the cross of Jesus.

There's no other way, no price that I could pay, Simply to the cross I cling.

This is all I need, this is all I plead, That His blood was shed for me.

Flowing from above, all forgiving love, From the Father's heart to me.

What a gift of grace, His own righteousness, Clothing me in purity.

How can I live day by day, Lead me to the cross of Jesus, Following His narrow way, Lead me to the cross of Jesus.

Christ himself bore our sins in his body on the cross so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds we have been healed. Let us confess our sins.

We are often slow to follow the example of Christ. Lord, have mercy. Confession

We often fail to be known as Christ’s disciples. Christ, have mercy. Confession

We often fail to walk the way of the cross. Lord, have mercy. Confession

Almighty God, who in Jesus Christ has given usa kingdom that cannot be destroyed,forgive us our sins, open our eyes to God’s truth, strengthen us to do God's will and give us the joy of his kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Absolution

And Now For Something Completely

The Peace The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. (Gal 5:22,25)

The Peace

Rom 6:1-14 (page ????) 1 Cor 1:18-31 (page ????)

How deep the father’s love for us, How vast beyond all measure, That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss– The Father turns His face away,

As wounds which mar the Chosen One Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders; Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice Call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished;

His dying breath has brought me life – I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything, No gifts, no power, no wisdom; But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer;

But this I know with all my heart – His wounds have paid my ransom.

Intercessions

ur Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. O O

Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it Lord, that I should boast, Save in the cross of Christ my God;

The very things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down;

When did such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

May the Father, who so loved the world that he gave his only Son, bring us by faith to his eternal life. Amen. Conclusion

May Christ, who accepted the cup of sacrifice in obedience to the Father’s will, keep us steadfast as we walk with him the way of his cross. Amen. Conclusion

May the Spirit, who strengthens us to suffer with Christ that we may share his glory, set our minds on life and peace. Amen. Conclusion

And the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be amongst us and remain with us always. Amen Conclusion
