Liturgy for wherever you are
Philippians 1:1-6 | September 22, 2024
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.
Listening to the Livestream
A little before 10:30 AM you should see a play button (circle with a triangle in it) appear in the box below. Press that play button when it appears, and you should be able to hear the service live! We always start the livestream a few minutes before the service begins, so you may hear some chatter or worship music playing at first. Know that you are with us in Spirit as you worship from wherever you are.
If you come to this page after Sunday worship but before the recorded sermon is posted in its entirety, please come back again! The full recording is posted by noon on Tuesday.
Lyrics*
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.
Joyful Joyful We Adore You
Edward Hodges | Henry Van Dyke | Ludwig van Beethoven
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee
Hail Thee as the Son above
Joy in my soul, joy in my soul
Joy in my soul, joy in my soul
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee
Hail Thee as the Son of love
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day!
All Your works with joy surround Thee
Earth and heaven reflect Your rays
Stars and angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising You eternally!
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
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 Yo
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
Jesus We Love You
Hannah McClure | Kalley Heiligenthal | Paul McClure
Old things have passed away
Your love has stayed the same
Your constant grace remains the cornerstone
Things that we thought were dead
Are breathing in life again
You cause your Son to shine on darkest nights
Jesus we love You
Oh how we love You
You are the one our hearts adore
The hopeless have found their hope
The orphans now have a home
All that was lost has found its place in You
You lift our weary head
You make us strong instead
You took these rags and made us beautiful

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! John Jay welcomed us. Mary and Lucia invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Bri called us into worship. Chip led us in communal prayer. Bill read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching and offered up the benediction. Chip invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Our musicians this morning were Leslie, John Jay, Chris M, Tilli, Rick and Le Bienfaiteur. Lindsay and Gaby reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Steph worked their technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
