* Call to Worship

Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29)...He was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5)...In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)...Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honour and glory and blessing! (Revelation 5:12)

From all their troubles He delivers them.

The LORD is near to every broken heart,

and those who are in spirit crushed He saves.

Though many are the trials of the just, 

the LORD delivers him from every one.

For He is safely keeping all his bones;

not one of them can ever broken be.
