["Pomp and Circumstance"]
Welcome to First Works Baptist Church.
Let's all find our seats. As you find your seat, please grab a song book, turn to song number 44.
Song number 44, as our first song this morning, will work till Jesus comes.
And let's all stand together for this first song, if you're able.
Song number 44, all together nice and strong on that first verse.
O land of rest for thee I sigh, when will the moment come?
When I shall lay my armor by and dwell in peace at home.
We'll work till Jesus comes.
We'll work till Jesus comes and we'll be gathered home.
To Jesus Christ I fled, for rest he made me cease to roam.
And we will conquer on his breast till he conduct me whole.
We'll work till Jesus comes.
We'll work till Jesus comes and we'll be gathered home.
On the last I sought at once my Savior's side.
With him I'll brave dance, chilling tight, and reach my heavenly home.
We'll work till Jesus comes.
We'll work till Jesus comes and we'll be gathered home.
Amen. Wonderful singing. Let's start off our service with a word of prayer.
Dear Lord God, Heavenly Father, we just thank you so much for giving us another day
that we can come here to your house, Lord, and to hear the preaching of your word
and just to be here in fellowship with our brothers and sisters, Lord.
We ask that you would please just bless this service. Please bless every aspect, Lord.
Please bless the singing. Most of all, please fill Pastor Mahiel with your spirit
as he preaches your word unto us.
Fill us also with your spirit, Lord, that we may leave here changed.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
You may be seated. Please turn your song books to song number 129.
Song number 129, Rock of Ages.
Song number 129, all together on that first verse.
Rock of ages, clap for me. Let me hide myself in thee.
Let the water and the blood from thy wounded side which flowed
be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure.
Could my tears forever flow? Could my zeal no languor know
these for sin could not atone? Thou must save and thou alone
in my hand though price I bring simply to thy cross I cling
while I draw this fleeting breath when my eyes shall close in death
when I rise to worlds unknown and behold the on thy throne
Rock of ages, clap for me. Let me hide myself in thee.
Alright, great singing. Thank you for being here this morning.

325, Trust and Obey, song number 325.
Song number 325, Trust and Obey.
All together on that first verse.
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His word
What a glory He sheds on our way
While we do His good will He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Not a shadow can rise
Not a cloud in the skies
But His smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt or a fear
Nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Not a burden we bear
Not a sorrow we share
Doth richly repay
Not a grief nor a loss
Not a frown nor a cross
If we trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
What we never can prove
Never mind our peace, Lord
Until all on the altar we lay
For the favor He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
On the last, then in fellowship suite
We will sit at His feet
Or we'll walk by His side in the way
What He says we will do
Where He says we will go
Never fear, only trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Amen. Wonderful singing.
At this time, the ushers will come forth to receive the offering.
