And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Israel’s mountains green? And did the Christ of Heaven come down? Was God in flesh both heard and seen? And did He die to prove His love? And did He rise more powerful still? And was His rule on earth started there Upon Golgotha’s tragic hill?
Postlude
Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold! Bring me my Chariot of Fire! I will not cease to spread His light: My faith a shield, His Word my sword; ’Til Christ, my God, is crowned as King, And all the earth shall own Him Lord.
Congregational Response* Jesus Loves Me Life of the Congregation

Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer 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 debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Peachtree partners with a ministry called The Oasis through Kids Alive International in Guatemala. The Oasis is a safe haven for Guatemalan girls who have experienced the deep scars of exploitation. At The Oasis, the girls receive schooling, physical care, emotional support and counseling, legal help, and the transformative love of Jesus Christ. The Oasis is changing hearts and lives, for both the girls being rescued and those who serve and support its ministry. This is what it looks like when a part of the body of Christ in Atlanta gives honor to a part of the body of Christ around the world.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. —Proverbs 3:1–4
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. — Philippians 1:9–11

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. — Matthew 5:14–16
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. —Proverbs 3:5–6

“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there. — 1 Samuel 1:27–28
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. —Colossians 3:12–15
