Tender Treatment

September 22, 2024 Preparation for Worship Time for Gathering Opening Hymn “For Those Tears I Died” You said You'd come and share all my sorrows You said You'd be there for all my tomorrows I came so close to sending You away But just like You promised You came here to stay I just had to pray Chorus And Jesus said come to the water stand by My side I know you are thirsty you won't be denied I felt ev'ry teardrop when in darkness you cried And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died Jesus I give You my heart and my soul I know that without God I'd never be whole Savior You opened all the right doors And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble shores Take me I'm Yours [Chorus] And I strove to remind you That for those tears I died Prayer of Praise Song of Worship Prayers of the Church and Prayer of our Lord Offering and Doxology Scripture Lesson John 4:7-42 Sermon Tender Treatment Closing Hymn “Living Hope” How great the chasm that lay between us how high the mountain I could not climb In desperation I turned to heaven and spoke Your Name into the night Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness tore through the shadows of my soul The work is finished the end is written Jesus Christ my living hope Who could imagine so great a mercy what heart could fathom such boundless grace The God of ages stepped down from glory to wear my sin and bear my shame The cross has spoken I am forgiven the King of kings calls me His own Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever Jesus Christ my living hope Chorus Hallelujah praise the One who set me free Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me You have broken every chain there’s salvation in Your name Jesus Christ my living hope Then came the morning that sealed the promise Your buried body began to breathe Out of the silence the Roaring Lion Declared the grave has no claim on me Benediction Fellowship • Sunday Morning Study: Forgiveness | 9 AM in the Sunshine Room • Sunday Prayer | 9:30 AM in the Sunshine Room • Monday Bible Study | 12 & 6 PM in the Sanctuary and via Zoom • Wednesday Issues Hour | 11 AM in the Fellowship Area and via Zoom
