CH21 / O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Call to worship
In Revelation 4:11, we read, "Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created." Before we share in moments of worship, let's first remember that we are not the starting point of worship—God is. He is the source of and foundation for our worship. He is the Creator who brings all things into being, and who gives us life. Let's turn our attention and focus now to Him, and glorify His name together!

Lord, from Sorrows Deep I Call - Papa/Boswell (listen / music attached)
Lord, from sorrows deep I call when my hope is shaken;
Torn and ruined from the fall, hear my desparation.
For so long I've pled and prayed, "God, come to my rescue!"

Oh, my soul, put your hope in God, my help, my rock, I will praise Him.
Sing, oh sing, through the raging storm; You're still my God, my salvation.
