Possible call to worship
Brothers and Sisters, we are here to worship the God who loves us and gave us life. Scripture reminds us, in Psalm 118:24: "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." So let’s lift our voices, lift our hearts, and lift high the name of Jesus together.

Possible segue for worship leader prior to singing the next song
When we consider the world around us, there really is no one and nothing that compares to God. He’s the only One powerful enough to create and the only One holy enough to save. Let’s sing together, “Only A Holy God”.
Only a Holy God - CityAlight (worship, or consider verse 4 as response; listen here, music attached) *consider combining this with "Holy, Holy, Holy!"
Who else invites me to call Him "Father?" Only a Holy God...
Potential Call To Worship:
God’s Word invites us in Psalm 95, “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before our Maker, for He is our God”. That’s why we’re here…to bring Him our praise and to remember that our lives only make sense when He is at the center of it. We can lift our voices in worship together now, collectively confessing that Jesus is our all in all.
