Liturgy for wherever you are

Seventeeth Sunday of Pentecost | Prayer: Ecstatic Overflow

Psalm 145 | September 24th, 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.

Joy

Pat Barrett | Tony Brown

There's beauty in my brokenness
I've got true love instead of pain
There's freedom though You've captured me
I've got joy instead of mourning

You give me joy down deep in my soul
Down deep in my soul
Down deep in my soul

I've never been so free
Caught in Your love for me
Never been more secure
Knowing Your heart, Lord

You’ve never seen me like,
You’ve seen me filled with joy
You’ve never seen me like,
You’ve seen me filled with joy
You’ve never seen me like,
You’ve seen me filled with joy,
Joy forevermore

You’ve never known me like,
You’ve known me filled with joy
You’ve never known me like,
You’ve known me filled with joy
You’ve never known me like,
You’ve known me filled with joy,
Joy forevermore

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

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

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Chip welcomed us, and he and Steven invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Natalee called us into worship. Kris led us in communal prayer practice and invited us to bless Astyn. Jerry read scripture. Lindsay provided us with a teaching and offered up the benediction. Saskia invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Our musicians this morning were Leslie, Astyn, Tilli, Ainsley, Rick and Chris T. Stephen L. 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.
