Liturgy for wherever you are
Ascension Sunday | Romans 15:14-33
May 21st, 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. To listen to previous liturgies, you can visit our Soundcloud page below to browse the archives.
Lyrics*
This is Amazing Grace
Jeremy Riddle | Josh Farro | Phil Wickham
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
This is amazing grace, This is unfailing love
That You would take my place, That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life, That I would be set free
Oh, Jesus, I sing for, all that You've done for me
Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory
Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Come Thou Fount
John Wyeth | Robert Robinson
Come Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by thy great help I've come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Christ Be All Around Me
David Leonard | Jack Mooring | Leeland Mooring | Leslie Jordan
As I rise
Strength of God go before lift me up
As I wake
Eyes of God look upon be my sight
As I wait
Heart of God satisfy and sustain
As I hear
Voice of God lead me on be my guide
Be my guide
Above and below me
Before and behind me
In ev'ry eye that sees me
Christ be all around me
Above and below me
Before and behind me
In ev'ry eye that sees me
Christ be all around me yeah
As I go
Hand of God my defense by my side
As I rest
Breath of God fall upon bring me peace
Bring me peace
Oh oh Christ be all around me yeah
Oh oh Christ be all around me yeah
Your life Your death Your blood was shed
For ev'ry moment ev'ry moment
God I Look to You
Ian McIntosh | Jenn Johnson
God I look to You
I won't be overwhelmed
Give me vision to see things like You do
God I look to You
You're where my help comes from
Give me wisdom You know just what to do
I will love You Lord my strength
I will love You Lord my shield
I will love You Lord my rock
Forever all my days I will love You God
Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Hallelujah our God reigns
Forever all our days hallelujah

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Lindsay welcomed us, and she and Lisa invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Bill called us into worship. Zach Hoover led us in communal prayer. Gus read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching, invited us into a time of generosity through our offering, and offered up the benediction. Our musicians this morning were Leslie, Astyn, Judah, Natalee, Jason E, and Chris B. Sally and Nicole I-H reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Abbey worked her technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
