Come sinners to the feast of the Gospel
May every soul be a guest with Jesus
You don't have to stay behind
Because God ordained all of humanity
Sent by my Lord, I call you
The invitation is for everyone
Come, the whole world, come, sin yourself
All things in Christ are ready
Come, all souls oppressed by sin
You restless wanderers after the break
You poor and crippled and lame and blind
Finding a warm welcome in Christ
Receive my message as from God;
You can all come to Christ and live;
Oh let his love compel your hearts
don't let me die in vain
This is the time without further delay
This is the day accepted by the Lord
Come to your call right away
And live for the one who died for all
Get up, my soul, get up

Get up, my soul, get up
Shake off your guilt
the bloody sacrifice
appears in my name
Before the throne is my security
Before the throne is my security
My name is written in his hands.
he always lives upstairs
to intercede for me
His redeeming love
To beg for your precious blood
His blood atoned for every race
His blood atoned for every race
And now blast the throne of mercy
He bears five bleeding wounds
Received on Calvary
They pour effective prayers
They strongly plead for me
"Forgive him, oh forgive him, they cry"
"Forgive him oh pardon they cry" "Let not this redeemed sinner die"
My God is reconciled
I hear your voice of forgiveness
He owns me for his son
I can't be afraid anymore
With confidence I now approach
With confidence I now approach
And the cry of "Father Abba Father"
prayers of the people
Oh God that you know that we are in the midst of so many and great
Dangers that are not possible due to the fragility of our nature
always stand upright; Grant us such power and protection as
may he sustain us in all dangers and carry us through all temptations;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

There is a fountain full of blood
Drawn from the veins of Immanuel
And the sinners drowned under that flood
Lose all your guilt stains
Lose all your guilt stains
Lose all your guilt stains
And the sinners drowned under that flood
Lose all your guilt stains
The dying thief was pleased to see
this fountain in its time
And I can be meaner than him
cleanse all my sins
cleanse all my sins
cleanse all my sins
And I can be meaner than him
cleanse all my sins
Dear dying lamb, your precious blood
will never lose its power
Until all redeemed Church of God
no longer be saved to sin
no longer be saved to sin
no longer be saved to sin
Until all redeemed Church of God
no longer be saved to sin
E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Her wounds flow care
Redeeming love was my topic
And it will be until I die
And it will be until I die
And it will be until I die
Redeeming love was my topic
And it will be until I die
When that poor stammering tongue babbles
Lies quietly in the grave
Then in a nobler and sweeter song
I'll sing your power to save
I'll sing your power to save
I'll sing your power to save
Then in a nobler and sweeter song
I'll sing your power to save

Split Rock of Ages for me
let me hide in you
Drain the water and the blood
From your wounded side that flowed
To be from sin, the double healing
Keep me from anger and purify me
Not the work of my hands
Can meet the requirements of your law
Could my heat know without ceasing?
Could my tears flow forever?
All for sin could not atone
You must save and you alone
I bring nothing in my hand
I just cling to the cross
Come naked for the dress
Helpless look at you for mercy
I lack the source to fly
Wash me Salvador or I die
As I take that fleeting breath
When my eyes close in death
When I ascend to unknown worlds
See you at your judgment throne
Split Rock of Ages for me
let me hide in you
writing | Psalm 130 and Mark 2:1-12
1 From the depths I cry out to you, Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice.
let your ears pay attention
to my cry of mercy.
3 If you, Lord, have kept a record of sins,
Lord who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can serve you reverently.
5 I hope in the Lord, my whole being waits,
and on his word I place my hope.
6 I hope in the Lord
More than watchmen wait for the morning
More than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord love is inexhaustible
and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
all his sins.

1 A few days later, when Jesus entered Capernaum again, the people were there
heard that he had come home.
2 They gathered in such numbers that there was no room left,
not even outside the gate, and preached the word to them.
3 Some men brought him a paralytic, who was being carried by four
from them.
4 Since they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd,
made an opening in the roof over Jesus, dug through it, and
then he lowered the mat on which the man lay.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son,
your sins are forgiven.”
6 And some teachers of the law sat there and pondered it
itself,
7 “Why is this guy talking like that? you blaspheme who can
sins forgiven, but only God?"
8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that they were
thought in their hearts and said to them, What are you thinking?
these things?
9 What is simpler than to say to this paralyzed man: Your sins are
forgive" or say: "Get up, pick up your stretcher and go"?
10 But I want you to know that the Son of man has authority on earth
forgive sins." So he said to the man:
11 "I tell you, get up, pick up your stretcher and go home."
12 He got up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of everyone.
That amazed everyone and they praised God and said, “We've never done that before
seen something like that!

And it may be that I should win
An interest in the blood of the Redeemer
He died for me because I caused his pain
For me who chased him to death
Incredible love! How can it be
That you, my god, die for me
Incredible love! How can it be
That you, my god, die for me
He left his father's throne above
So free, so infinite his grace
He emptied himself of everything but love
And bled for Adam's helpless run
'Tis mercy all immeasurable and free
'Cause oh my god found me out
He left his father's throne above
So free, so infinite his grace
He emptied himself of everything but love
And bled for Adam's helpless race
'Tis mercy all immeasurable and free
'Cause oh my god found me out
'Tis mercy all immeasurable and free
'Cause oh my god found me out
Long lay my captive spirit
Firmly bound in sin and nature's night
Your eye spread an accelerating ray
I awoke from the flamed dungeon
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I got up, went out and followed you.
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I got up, went out and followed you.
I fear now there is no more damnation
Jesus and everything in him is mine
Live in him my living head
And clothed in divine justice
I bravely approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown through my Christ
I bravely approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown through my Christ
