Opening prayer

 

Song

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all creatures here below

Praise Him above you heavenly host

Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost

 

Give glory to the Father

Give glory to the Son

Give glory to the Spirit

While endless ages run

Worthy the Lamb all heaven cries

To be exalted thus

Worthy the Lamb our hearts reply

For He was slain for us

Song

Come let us worship our King

Come let us bow at His feet

He has done great things

See what our Saviour has done

See how His love overcomes

He has done great things

He has done great things

 

O Hero of Heaven You conquered the grave

You free every captive and break every chain

O God You have done great things

We dance in Your freedom awake and alive

O Jesus our Saviour Your name lifted high

O God You have done great things

 

You’ve been faithful through every storm

You’ll be faithful forevermore

You have done great things

And I know You will do it again

For Your promise is yes and amen

You will do great things

God You do great things

 

Hallelujah God above it all

Hallelujah God unshakable

Hallelujah You have done great things

(REPEAT)

You’ve done great things

You have done great things

O God You do great things

Activity 2: I will make you a great nation

 

Confession

Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord our God,

though we have rebelled against him and walked away from him.

Let us then renounce our hardness of heart and ask for his mercy

by confessing our sins in penitence and faith.

​

God our Father,

we come to you in sorrow for our sins.

For turning away from you,

and ignoring your will for our lives;

Father, forgive us:

save us and help us.

 

For behaving just as we wish,

without thinking of you;

Father, forgive us:

save us and help us.

 

For failing you by what we do,

and think and say;

Father, forgive us:

save us and help us.

 

For letting ourselves be drawn away from you

by temptations in the world about us;

Father, forgive us:

save us and help us.

 

For living as if we were ashamed

to belong to your Son;

Father, forgive us:

save us and help us.

 

The almighty and merciful Lord

grant you pardon and forgiveness of all your sins,

time for amendment of life,

and the grace and strength of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

 

Activity 3: All peoples on earth will be blessed through you

​

The Lord's Prayer 

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours

now and for ever.

Amen.

Song

Come set Your rule and reign

In our hearts again

Increase in us we pray

Unveil why we're made

Come set our hearts ablaze with hope

Like wildfire in our very souls

Holy Spirit come invade us now

We are Your church

We need Your pow'r in us

 

We seek Your kingdom first

We hunger and we thirst

Refuse to waste our lives

For You're our joy and prize

To see the captives' hearts released

The hurt the sick the poor at peace

We lay down our lives for heaven's cause

We are Your church

We pray revive this earth

 

Build Your kingdom here

Let the darkness fear

Show Your mighty hand

Heal our streets and land

Set Your church on fire

Win this nation back

Change the atmosphere

Build Your kingdom here we pray

 

Unleash Your kingdom's pow'r

Reaching the near and far

No force of hell can stop

Your beauty changing hearts

You made us for much more than this

Awake the kingdom seed in us

Fill us with the strength and love of Christ

We are Your church

We are the hope on earth
