by his mercy he proves he is love.

Great is the Lord and worthy of praise.
Great is the Lord; now lift up your voice, now lift up your voice:
Great is the Lord! Great is the Lord!
(Refrain) Great is the Lord, he is holy and just,

Great is the Lord, he is faithful and true;
by his mercy he proves he is love.

Great are you, Lord, and worthy of praise.
Great are you, Lord, I lift up my voice, I lift up my voice:
Great are you, Lord! Great are you, Lord!
Call to Worship* (inspired by Psalm 96) – Len Wilson
We come in reverent awe before the Lord our God—
for great is the Lord!
We come, to join with all creation
in singing new songs to the Lord our God.
We come in worship and praise—
for the Lord God is worthy of our praise!
We come, to share together
the news of our Glorious Lord’s saving deeds.
We come with songs and prayers—
to give well-deserved glory to the Lord!
We come, to bring our offerings of worship and praise
to the Lord our God—
whose holy splendor, honor and majesty
shines forth from God’s presence. Amen.

Hymn of Reflection – There’s Something About That Name
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus: there’s just something about that name!

But there’s something about that name!

Rejoice, give thanks, and sing, and triumph evermore.
(Refrain) Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
(Verse 2) Our Savior, Jesus, reigns, the God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains, he took his seat above.
(Refrain) Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

The keys of death and hell are to our Jesus given.

Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
