Chalk Talk / Passing The Peace

The Wonderful Cross

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

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

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross Bids me come and die and find That I may truly live

Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross All who gather here by grace Draw near and bless Your name

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

Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross Bids me come and die and find That I may truly live

Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross All who gather here by grace Draw near and bless Your name

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face. For the things of Earth will look strangley dim, In the light of His glory and grace.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face. For the things of Earth will look strangley dim, In the light of His glory and grace.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face. For the things of Earth will look strangley dim, In the light of His glory and grace.

Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross Bids me come and die and find That I may truly live

Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross All who gather here by grace Draw near and bless Your name

The Heart of Worship

When the music fades All is stripped away And I simply come Longing just to bring Something that's of worth That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song For a song in itself Is not what You have required You search much deeper within Through the way things appear You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back To the heart of worship And it's all about You All about You Jesus

I'm sorry Lord For the thing I've made it When it's all about You All about You Jesus

King of endless worth No one could express How much You deserve Though I'm weak and poor All I have is Yours Ev'ry single breath

I'll bring You more than a song For a song in itself Is not what You have required You search much deeper within Through the way things appear You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back To the heart of worship And it's all about You All about You Jesus

I'm sorry Lord For the thing I've made it When it's all about You All about You Jesus

I'm coming back To the heart of worship And it's all about You All about You Jesus

I'm sorry Lord For the thing I've made it When it's all about You All about You Jesus

Scripture 1 Thessalonians 1: 1-10 Exodus 33: 12-23 Matthew 22: 15-22 Scripture Taken from the Holy Bible Today’s New International Version

1 Thessalonians 1: 1-10 Thanksgiving for the Thessalonians’ Faith Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you. 2We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. 3We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 1: 1-10 Thanksgiving for the Thessalonians’ Faith 4For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.

1 Thessalonians 1: 1-10 Thanksgiving for the Thessalonians’ Faith 6You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. 7And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. 8The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere.

1 Thessalonians 1: 1-10 Thanksgiving for the Thessalonians’ Faith Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, 9for they themselves report what happened when we visited you. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead— Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
