The Call To Worship So, Let Us Trust The Lord Adapted: From Luke 12:32-34 – Marben Bland
Leader: Jesus says: “Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights in giving you the kingdom.” People: So, let us trust the Lord Leader: Jesus says: Sell your possessions and give to those in need. People: So, let us trust the Lord Leader: Jesus says because you trust the Lord Make for yourselves wallets that don’t wear out—a treasure in heaven that never runs out. No thief comes near there, and no moth destroys. People: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be too. So, let us trust the Lord
#450 Blessed Assurance, Jesus In Mine Fanny J. Crosby/Phoebe P. Knapp
1.Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His spirit, washed in His blood. Refrain This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. 2. Perfect submission, perfectly delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. Refrain This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.
Luke 12:32-34 Common English Bible
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights in giving you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to those in need. Make for yourselves wallets that don’t wear out—a treasure in heaven that never runs out. No thief comes near there, and no moth destroys. 34 Where your treasure is, there your heart will be too.

1. Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! 2. Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! 3. Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! 4.
