Sunday 21st April 2024

 

 

Welcome to Sunday Focus. We pray you will be blessed as you listen to the songs and read the Word of God.

  

This week will be similar to the service held at Church.

 

Hymn - The King Of Love My Shepherd Is

 

Song - Praise God From Whom all Blessings Flow

 

Lord God our heavenly Father,
Before you 
We realise just how many
Are our faults and our failings.
Your love stops at nothing –
Ours is so much more conditional.
Your patience in endless
While ours is short-lived!
You want to care with no strings
While we care on our terms –
When it suits
And doesn’t ask too much.
But these, Father God,
Are things you already know –
And yet still you choose to love us
And to care for us;
To call us 
And to entrust us with your Gospel.
In utter amazement
At the risks you take in working with us,
We praise you this day,
With full hearts.
Amen

Hymn - I Cannot Tell

 

 

Lord Jesus, our Shepherd, Lord and friend;
We need to be guided in the paths we should take
Feed we pray, our hungry souls
And lead us to find rest and hope and help.
We need these things as individuals
As communities
As a church –
A nation
And as a world.
In coming in, 
To the safety of your loving embrace,
Inspire us, we pray, 
To find the courage to then go out again,
Into your world,
To share your promises and truths.
And thank you
Thank you for being with us when the paths we find ourselves on
Feel frightening
Or worrying –
Or tough for us to follow.
Thank you for taking our hand 
And for leading us through.
Thank you for being the light we need to keep going.
Continue to go before us, Lord
And behind.

Fill us, we pray, with the warmth of your blessing
And help us to be that blessing to others
For the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen

 

 

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Forever.
Amen

 

Hymn - Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah

 

 

BLESSING 
May we go, with Christ before us 
And behind.
May we go in faith and trust and hope.
May we go to find life that’s full
And forever.
In the name of the Creator,
His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
And the holy Spirit,
One God of love,
This day and always. Amen
