Liturgy for wherever you are

Second Sunday after Epiphany

January 16, 2022

welcome to WORSHIP

Liturgy is an ancient word for worship that is usually translated as “the work of the people.” You’ll hear the voices of our pastoral staff and our community each week, and we are so grateful that this is the work we get to do together. We prayerfully plan our worship services trusting that the Spirit will use each element to shape us and our desires as we pursue the path of Christ.

You can give here! ❤️

The Love of God

Frederick Martin Lehman

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from their sin.

When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When those who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.

Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And everyone a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

At Your Name

Phil Wickham | Tim Hughes

At Your name
The mountains shake and crumble
At Your name
The oceans roar and tumble
At Your name angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out

Lord of all the earth we shout Your name
Shout Your name
Filling up the skies with endless praise
Endless praise
Yahweh Yahweh
We love to shout Your name oh Lord

At Your name
The morning breaks in glory
At Your name
Creation sings Your story
At Your name angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out

There is no one like our God
We will praise You praise You
There's no one like our God
We will sing we will sing
There is no one like our God
We will praise You praise You
There is no one like our God
We will sing

Lord of all the earth we’ll shout Your name
Shout Your name
Filling up the skies with endless praise
Endless praise
Yahweh Yahweh
We love to shout Your name oh Lord

God of Justice Love and Mercy

Edward M. Willmington

God of justice love and mercy
Pour Your wisdom on our souls
By Your all sustaining power
Keep our spirits strong and whole
Lift our eyes to see Your vision
Of a world in urgent need
Grant us courage then to follow
Bringing comfort with each deed

God of justice love and mercy
With compassion let us care
As we come in humble weakness
May Your strength be ours to share
Press our hearts to know the struggle
Of the ones we cannot see
Brothers sisters all who suffer
May Your kindness set them free

God of justice love and mercy
Send us out and make us bold
As we strive for Your high calling
Let our hands Your mercies hold
You have blessed us with abundance
Gifts to share with those in need
Father Son and Holy Spirit
May we follow as You lead

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

Isaac Watts

My shepherd will supply my need
Jehovah is His name
In pastures fresh He makes me feed
Beside the living stream

He brings my wandering spirit back
When I forsake His ways
And leads me for His mercy's sake
In paths of truth and grace

When I walk through the shades of death
Thy presence is my stay
One word of Thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away

Thy hand in sight of all my foes
Doth still my table spread
My cup with blessings overflows
Thine oil anoints my head

The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days
O may Thy house be my abode
And all my work be praise

There would I find a settled rest
While others go and come
No more a stranger, nor a guest
But like a child at home

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s liturgy service! Chip welcomed us into worship. Barbara, Stormie, and Dustin provided us with a hearty dose of gratitude. Aimee led us in our call to worship. Saskia read Scripture. John Jay provided a reflection on Martin Luther King Jr., before leading us in communal prayer and feeding our spirits with a teaching. Angel invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Leslie provided the offertory on piano. Our other music makers this morning were Warren, Natalee, Jason E., and Elias. Chip reminded us of the different opportunities to join in God’s work happening locally in Pasadena and here at FBCP. John Jay returned at the end to offer up the benediction. Leslie oversaw the production while Harriet worked her technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
