Chasing After You
I'm chasing after You
No matter what
I have to do
‘Cause I need You more
And more
Open the Eyes of My Heart
Open the eyes of my heart,
Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You
More and more
More and more
More and more
More and more
To see You high and lifted up
Shinin' in the light
of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy
I’m chasing after You
I’m praising my way
through
Just to be closer to You
I’m chasing after You
Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy
I want to see you
I want to see you
Responsive Reading
I Corinthian 5:9-11 (God’s Word Translation)
I Corinthians 15:33 (New International Version)
In my letter to you I told you not to associate with people who continue
to commit sexual sins.
I didn’t tell you that you could not have any contact with unbelievers
who commit sexual sins, are greedy, are dishonest, or worship false gods.
If that were the case, you would have to leave this world.
Now, what I meant was that you should not associate with people who
call themselves brothers or sisters in the Christian faith,
But live in sexual sin, are greedy, worship false gods, use abusive
language, get drunk, or are dishonest. Don’t eat with such people.
Altogether: Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Prayer Song – Oh How I Love Jesus
There is a Name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest Name on earth.
Refrain:
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!
It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, it is now and ever shall be world
without end. Amen.
(Leader)
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is the one true Church,
apostolic and universal, whose holy faith let us now declare:”
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and
earth and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; Who was
conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried.
The third day He arose from the dead, he ascended into
Heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father
Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and
the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic
church*, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
