Palm Sunday

“By thus riding through the streets in state, Jesus Christ claimed to be a king. That claim had been to a great extent kept in the background until now; but before he goes to his Father, when his enemies rage has reached its peak of fury, and when his own hour of deepest humiliation has just arrived, he makes an open claim before the eyes of all men to be called and acknowledged a king.” Charles H. Spurgeon

Palm Sunday

*The Call to Worship

 

ALL         Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

                           Hosanna in the highest! 

 

Pastor     King Jesus comes, King Jesus, Son of God, Son of Man, our Messiah.

 

People    Hail!  King Jesus, King of kings!

 

Pastor     As the Scriptures say:  “A great crowd who had come to the feast

heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.  So they took branches

of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, Hosanna!  Blessed is

                           he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!

 

ALL         In praise we adore you, King Jesus!  Enter our hearts today, as you

                           entered Jerusalem long ago, and lead us by faith in the way that is

                           everlasting.  Amen.

Holy Spirit, living breath of God, Breathe new life into my willing soul.

Let the presence of the risen Lord, Come renew my heart and make me whole.

Cause Your Word to come alive in me; Give me faith for what I cannot see,

Give me passion for Your purity; Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

 

Holy Spirit, come abide within, May Your joy be seen in all I do.

Love enough to cover every sin, In each thought, and deed and attitude.

Kindness to the greatest and the least, Gentleness that sows the path of peace.

Turn my strivings into works of grace; Breath of God show Christ in all I do.

 

Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth, Giving life to all that God has made,

Show Your power once again on earth, Cause Your church to hunger for Your

Ways.  //  Let the fragrance of our prayers arise;  Lead us on the road to

Sacrifice,  That in unity the face of Christ, May be clear for all the world to see.

Let the fragrance of our prayers arise  .  .  .
