Liturgy for wherever you are
Third Sunday of Easter
April 23, 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.

How Great Is Our God
Chris Tomlin | Ed Cash | Jesse Reeves
The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
And trembles at His voice
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God
And age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End
The Godhead three in one
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
Nothing but the Blood
Robert Lowry
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
O precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my pardon this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Higher Ground
Johnson Oatman, Jr.
I’m pressing on the upward way
New heights I’m gaining ev'ry day
Still praying as I’m onward bound
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith, on heaven’s tableland
A higher plane than I have found
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay
Though some may dwell where these abound
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground
I want to live above the world
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled
For faith has caught a joyful sound
The song of saints on higher ground
I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found
Lord, lead me on to higher ground

Credits
What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Chip welcomed us, invited us into a communal practice of gratitude, and honored our Volunteer of the Month. Mady called us into worship. Bri led us in communal prayer. Jeannette read scripture. Zach Hoover provided us with a teaching and offered up the benediction. Lindsay invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Joanna provided the offertory. Our other musicians this morning were John Jay, Cindie, Cynthia, Rick, and Galvin. Lindsay reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Dave worked his technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
