Whate’er my God ordains is right:
His holy will abideth.
I will be still whate’er He does,
And follow where He guideth.
He is my God, though dark my road.
He holds me that I shall not fall.
And so to Him, I leave it all,
He holds me that I shall not fall.
Whate’er my God ordains is right:
He never will deceive me.
He leads me by the proper path;
I know He will not leave me.
I take, content, what He has sent.
His hand can turn my griefs away,
And patiently, I wait His day,
His hand can turn my griefs away.
Whate’er my God ordains is right,
Though now this cup I’m drinking
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it all unshrinking.
My God is true each morn anew.
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart,
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart.
Whate’er my God ordains is right.
Here shall my stand be taken.
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine
Yet I am not forsaken.
My Father’s care is round me there.
He holds me that I shall not fall,
And so to Him I leave it all,
He holds me that I shall not fall.
Call to Worship (Psalm 115:1,16-18)
Leader: Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love
and your faithfulness!
The heavens are the Lord's heavens,
but the earth He has given to the
children of man.
The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any who go down into silence.
Congregation: But we will bless the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the Lord!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,O my soul;
Worship His holy name.
Sing like never before,O my soul;
I’ll worship Your holy name.
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning.
It’s time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.
You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger.
Your name is great and Your heart is kind.
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing;
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.
And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near, and my time has come.
Still my soul will sing your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore.
Confession of Sin
O Lord,
Your thoughts are not our thoughts
neither are Your ways our ways.
Forgive us for seeking to bend Your will
to meet our particular desires.
Forgive us for seeing Your kingdom
as a palace for our personal comfort.
Forgive us for using Your generous
provision to worship our idols.
Grant us courage to worship You
even when it is unpopular.
Grant us grace to hold together as Your
church by holding on to Your Word.
Grant us boldness to speak the name of
Jesus in the face of persecution.
In Your grace and mercy, tune us to Your
will, Lord, so that in all circumstances,
we might delight in the gospel of Christ. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon (1 Peter 1:3-5)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born
again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable,
undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's
power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to
be revealed in the last time.
Text: Martin Luther; based on Psalm 46
Music: Martin Luther
In His perfect will,
And by His good grace
I will praise Him still.
A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe-His craft and pow'r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Philippians 1:12-14
12
I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me
has really served to advance the gospel, 13 so that it has
become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all
the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the
brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my
imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without
fear.
A Mighty Fortress is Our God
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He—
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him—
His rage we can endure,
For lo, his doom is sure:
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly pow'rs,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thru Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also—
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still:
His kingdom is forever.
I Will Praise Him Still

When the morning falls
On the farthest hill
I will sing His name,
I will praise Him still.
When dark trials come
And my heart is filled
With the weight of doubt,
I will praise Him still.
For the Lord, our God
He is strong to save
From the arms of death,
From the deepest grave.
And He gave us life
God Moves
Original lyrics by William Cowper. Additional lyrics and music by Bob
Kauflin. © 2005 Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI). CCLI #353794
God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform.
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in His dark and hidden mines,
With never-failing skill,
He fashions all His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
Oh fearful saints, new courage take:
The clouds that you now dread
Are big with mercy and will break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace.
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
God, we trust in You.
God, we trust in You.
God’s purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding ev’ry hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow’r.
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain.
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
God, we trust in You.
God, we trust in You.
When tears are great and comforts few,
We hope in mercies ever new.
We trust in You.
God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform.
