June 20, 2021 Preparation for Worship Time for Gathering Opening Hymn “This Is My Father’s World” 1 This is my Father's world and to my list'ning ears All nature sings and 'round me rings music of the spheres This is my Father's world I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees of skies and seas his hand the wonders wrought 2 This is my Father's world the birds their carols raise The morning light the lily white declare their Maker's praise This is my Father's world He shines in all that's fair In the rust'ling grass I hear Him pass He speaks to me ev'rywhere 3 This is my Father's world O let me ne'er forget And though the wrong seems oft so strong God is the Ruler yet This is my Father's world the battle is not done Jesus who died shall be satisfied and earth and heaven be one Prayer of Praise Song of Worship Prayers of the Church and the Prayer of our Lord Offering and Doxology Scripture Lesson Luke 15: 11-32 Page 798 Sermon A Father’s Joyous Love Closing Hymn “How Deep the Father’s Love For Us” 1 How deep the Father's love for us how vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure How great the pain of searing loss the Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the Chosen One bring many sons to glory 2 Behold the Man upon a cross my sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers It was my sin that held Him there until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished 3 I will not boast in anything no gifts no pow’r no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ his death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart his wounds have paid my ransom Benediction: Preaching today is Rev.
