Be exalted O God above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.

Awake our souls.
     We will praise you O Lord among the nations.
     We will sing of You among the people.
Your faithfulness reaches the skies.

* Hymn of Praise    “Take My Life And Let It Be”    (#506 VU)

          Take my moments and my days;

     I love to tell the story, because I know it’s true;
     It satisfies my longings as nothing else would do.

     Refrain:
     I love to tell the story; ‘Twill be my theme in glory
     To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.
     I love to tell the story, for those who know it best

     And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
     ‘Twill be the old, old story, that I have loved so long.     R
