This post and the next are worship resources for this Sunday, July 17. It's the last Sunday with our seminary intern, John, and I'll miss him - as I do each of the guys I've had the pleasure of knowing as a friend and colleague (Josh, Jason, and Nate before John). In early August, Brian will show up for his year-long "vicarage". But I digress...
This Sunday we're introducing Paul Baloche's wonderful song "All the Earth will sing Your Praises", which, last time I checked, was available as a free download on his website - pdf sheet music and audio track (We're doing the "radio single version in the upper left corner). Still digressing...
Anyway, this confession idea (using Jeremiah 17) was from The Covenant Hymnal: A Worship Book, but I wanted to make it more Jesus-focused, so I needed a New Testament text in the middle of it. I found Titus 2:14 and it felt like a hand in glove fit.
All: The human heart is most deceitful and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?
Leader: But Jesus Christ gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing what is right.
All: O LORD, you alone can heal me; you alone can save. My praises are for you alone!
From Jeremiah 17:9, Titus 2:14, Jeremiah 17:14 – New Living Translation
