Liturgy for wherever you are
First Sunday of Lent
February 26, 2023
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.
Lyrics*
Every Praise
Hezekiah Walker | John David Bratton
Every praise is to our God
Every word of worship with one accord
Every praise every praise is to our God
Sing hallelujah to our God
Glory hallelujah is due our God
Every praise every praise is to our God
God my Savior
God my Healer
God my Deliverer
Yes He is yes He is
Every praise is to our God
Every word of worship with one accord
Every praise every praise
Every praise every praise
Every praise every praise is to our God
Way Maker
Osinachi Kalu Okoro Egbu
You are here moving in our midst
I worship You I worship You
You are here working in this place
I worship You I worship You
Way Maker Miracle Worker
Promise Keeper
Light in the darkness my God
That is who You are
You are here touching ev'ry heart
I worship You I worship You
You are here healing ev'ry heart
I worship You I worship You
You are here turning lives around
I worship You I worship You
You are here mending ev'ry heart
I worship You I worship You
Even when I don’t see it
You’re working
Even when I don’t feel it
You’re working
You never stop
You never stop working
You never stop
You never stop working
My Hope is Built on Nothing Less
Charlie Hall | Edward Mote | Kendall Combes | Trent Austin | William Batchelder Bradbury
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In ev’ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
When He shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
Anthony Johnson Showalter | Elisha Albright Hoffman
What a fellowship what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness what a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way
Leaning on the everlasting arms
O how bright the path grows from day to day
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What have I to dread what have I to fear
Leaning on the everlasting arms
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! John Jay welcomed us, and he and Mary invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Lorenzo called us into worship. Mary led us in communal prayer. Charles read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching, invited us into a time of generosity through our offering, and offered us a benediction. Our musicians this morning were Leslie, Jason C, Dave, Cynthia, Jason E, and Galvin. John Jay reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Harriet worked her technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
