Evening Hymn “Lord, I Need You”
Lord I come, I confess……Bowing here I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart……. You’re the one that guides my heart
(Chorus) Lord, I need you, oh I need you….Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness….Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more……Where grace is found, is where You are.
And where You are, Lord I am free…..Holiness is Christ in me
Chorus
So teach my song to rise to You…. When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You… Jesus You’re my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand, I’ll fall on You….. Jesus You’re my hope and stay
Chorus
L: Let the incense of our repentant prayer ascend before You, O Lord, and let Your loving-kindness descend on us that, with purified minds, we may sing Your praises with the Church on earth and the whole heavenly host and may glorify You forever. C: Amen.
(Silence for meditation)
HYMN “the tune: Shenandoah” “Steadfast Love Surrounds You”
How blest are those who’ve been forgiven: Shout to God, O faithful people!
Who know the Lord will always listen. Be glad! And trust His grace…Steadfast love surrounds you.
When I refuse to make confession: Shout to God, O faithful people!
My life was spent in deep depression. Be glad! And trust His grace… Steadfast love surrounds you.
I offered up my sins before you: Shout to God, O faithful people!
You said to me, “I will restore you.” Be glad! And trust His grace….Steadfast love surrounds you.
Message “The C of SCARS: Confession”
(Stand for prayer if you are able)
L: O God, from whom come all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works, give to us, Your servants, that peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be set to obey Your commandments and also that we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may live in peace and quietness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen.
