Prelude – “Wonderous Love” arr. Paxon – Melanie Manges, organ
Welcome to Worship – Charles Gullion
Lenten Song – “I Come to the Cross” – Worship Team
I come to the cross seeking mercy and grace;
I come to the cross where you died in my place.
Out of my weakness and into your strength;
Humbly I come to the cross.
Call to Worship* – Rev. Lisa Williams Hood
Hymn of Praise – “At the Cross”
(Verse 1) Alas! And did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such as I?
(Refrain) At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away (rolled away),
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
(Verse 4) But drops of grief can ne’er repay the debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away, ‘tis all that I can do!
(Refrain) At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away (rolled away),
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!

I come to the cross seeking mercy and grace;
I come to the cross where you died in my place.
Out of my weakness and into your strength;
Humbly I come to the cross.
Your arms are open, you call me by name, you welcome this child that was lost.
You paid the price for my guilt and my shame;
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come to the cross.

Hymn of Discipleship – “Open My Eyes, That I May See”
(Verse 1) Open my eyes, that I may see
glimpses of truth you have for me
place in my hands the wonderful key
that shall unlock and set me free.
(Refrain) Silently now, on bended knee, ready I wait your will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!
(Verse 2) Open my ears, that I may hear,
Voices of truth you send so clear;
And while the message sounds in my ear,
Everything false will disappear.
(Refrain) Silently now, on bended knee,
Ready I wait your will to see;
Open my ears, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
