CALL TO WORSHIP                Isaiah 40.28-31                             Ellis Tiffany

One   Do you not know? 

Many HAVE YOU NOT HEARD?

 

One   The Lord is the everlasting God,

Many THE CREATOR OF THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

 

One   He will not grow tired or weary,

Many AND HIS UNDERSTANDING NO ONE CAN FATHOM.

 

One   He gives strength to the weary

Many AND INCREASES THE POWER OF THE WEAK.

 

One   Even youths grow tired and weary,

Many AND YOUNG PEOPLE STUMBLE AND FALL;

 

One   But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

Many THEY WILL SOAR ON WINGS LIKE EAGLES;

 

One   They will run and not grow weary,

Many THEY WILL WALK AND NOT BE FAINT. AMEN.
