    Psalm 96:7-13


    Leader: Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!


    PEOPLE: Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!


    Leader: Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!


    PEOPLE: Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns! Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”


    Leader: Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it;


    PEOPLE: let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord,


    ALL: for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.

    Your Love Never Fails

    Verse 1

    Nothing can separate

    Even if I ran away

    Your love never fails

    I know I still make mistakes but

    You have new mercies for me ev'ryday

    Your love never fails


    Chorus

    (And) You stay the same through the ages

    Your love never changes

    There may be pain in the night

    But joy comes in the morning

    And when the oceans rage

    I don't have to be afraid

    Because I know that You love me

    (Your love never fails)


    Verse 2

    The wind is strong and the water's deep

    But I'm not alone here in these open seas

    Your love never fails

    The chasm is far too wide

    I never thought I'd reach the other side

    Your love never fails


    Bridge

    You make all things

    Work together for my good

    You make all things

    Work together for my good

    The Creator’s Response to Sin

    Genesis 3:8-24

    8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

    9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”

    10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”

    11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

    12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

    14 The Lord God said to the serpent,

    “Because you have done this,

    cursed are you above all livestock

    and above all beasts of the field;

    on your belly you shall go,

    and dust you shall eat

    all the days of your life.

    15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,

    and between your offspring and her offspring;

    he shall bruise your head,

    and you shall bruise his heel.”

    16 To the woman he said,

    “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;

    in pain you shall bring forth children.

    Your desire shall be for your husband,

    and he shall rule over you.”

    17 And to Adam he said,

    “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife

    and have eaten of the tree

    of which I commanded you,

    ‘You shall not eat of it,’

    cursed is the ground because of you;

    in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

    18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;

    and you shall eat the plants of the field.

    19 By the sweat of your face

    you shall eat bread,

    till you return to the ground,

    for out of it you were taken;

    for you are dust,

    and to dust you shall return.”

    20 The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

    21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.

    22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.

    24 He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

    Who Else

    Verse 1

    I am an instrument of exaltation

    And I was born to lift Your name above all names

    You hear the melody of all creation

    But there's a song of praise that only I can bring


    Chorus

    Who else is worthy who else is worthy

    There is no one only You Jesus

    Who else is worthy who else is worthy

    There is no one only You Jesus


    Verse 2

    You are the infinite God of the ages

    Yet You chose to make my heart Your dwelling place

    You healed my brokenness showed me Your glory

    So I have songs of thanks not even angels sing


    Bridge

    Lamb of God anointed one

    Who was and is and is to come

    Seated on the throne above

    Holy holy

    Righteous One who shed His blood

    You proved to us the Father's love

    Jesus Christ be lifted up

    (Holy holy)
