Jesus, Thank You

You’ll notice it as soon as you walk into the auditorium. Yes, the stage is different. We’ve moved people around and no one is playing the piano. This week we are trying something a little different; using only hand percussion, acoustic guitars and acoustic bass for our praise band this week, we are introducing Calvary unplugged. The music will be slightly more laid back and definitely quieter.

The content of our worship will focused on Christ. We will open singing the Paul Baloche song Praise Adonai. This song of praise will immediately point us to Christ as it gives vivid imagery of worship in heaven. Our place in that worship gathering is secured by the blood of Christ and we will make that declaration as we sing Matt Redman’s Nothing But The Blood. From the opening declaration until the final doxology, we will declare our absolute dependence upon Christ.

The next two songs we will sing are from Sovereign Grace Music. Oh The Deep, Deep Love is Bob Kauflin’s modern rendition of the hymn by Samuel Trevor Francis. Through wonderful descriptions, we will sing of the love of Christ as compared to the vastness of the ocean. Then we will declare our thanks to Christ with awe and wonder as we sing Jesus, Thank You. We were, as the song declares, once Your enemies, now seated at Your table. We certainly have much for which to give thanks.

As we close the service we will sing Here I Am To Worship by Tim Hughes as an offering of sacrifice and praise. You can follow the link for each song if you would like a preview of Sunday. I think it is going to be a great Sunday at Calvary and I hope to see you there.

Soli Deo Gloria,
