Preparation for Sunday, 1/31/2010
Song Preparation: I encourage you listen to these songs each week so that you are familiar with them by the time we sing on Sunday. I always find that becoming more familiar with the lyrics to a song gives me more freedom to be led by the Holy Spirit as I worship. We won’t play these song exactly as they sound below but this is a good start!
Here is some scripture that goes well with the songs we will sing this Sunday. Greater than we can Imagine: Psalm 145:2-3, Revelation 15:3-4; Sing Alleluia: Psalm 135:1-2; Sweetly Broken: Luke 9:23-25; Made us Alive: Galations 2:20.
Songs:
We will also say this reading together:
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
As a father has compassion for his children,
so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him.
For he knows how we were made;
he remembers that we are dust.
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from
everlasting to everlasting
on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
- Psalm 103:8, 13-14, 17-18
I really believe this reading gives us a strong assurance in Christ! Meditate on these words before we meet on Sunday.
