CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 27.4-9 Wes Hensley
One One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the
house of the LORD all the days of my life,
Many TO GAZE UPON THE
BEAUTY OF THE LORD,
IN HIS
One For in the day of trouble, He will keep me safe in his dwelling;
Many HE WILL HIDE ME IN THE SHELTER OF HIS TABERNACLE
One Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
Many I WILL SING
One Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.
Many MY HEART SAYS OF YOU, "SEEK HIS FACE!" YOUR FACE, LORD,
I WILL SEEK.
One Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away
in anger;
Many YOU HAVE BEEN MY HELPER. DO NOT REJECT ME OR FORSAKE
ME, O GOD MY SAVIOR.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.
