Music for worship January 18

Gathering songs at FirstLight: Graham Kendrick's "Knowing you;" "He knows my name;" and "Open the eyes of my heart, Lord." At the confession, Joy Patterson's, "Alleluia, alleluia in Jesus Christ we are forgiven." At the offering a new song, "Jesus Christ is Lord" by Ken Canedo a setting of text from Philippians, with Jimmy Owens "Doxology." The closing song will be "Lord, you have come to the lakeshore" (PESCADOR DES HOMBRES).

Hymns at 11AM will include "Ye servants of God, your master proclaim" (HANOVER); "Today we all are called to be disciples" (KINGSFOLD); and I'm gonna live so God can use me" (I'M GONNA LIVE). The choral introit will be "Jesus calls us o’er the tumult" to the tune PLEADING SAVIOR, at the confession the same Patterson, "Alleluia, alleluia..." as at FirstLight and at the benediction the refrain from "Lord you have come to the lakeshore." The choir will sing two anthems with Charles Perry Sprawls, bass-baritone soloist; the Qui Tollis from Haydn's Second Mass in C, the Paukenmesse, and William Dawson's "Every time I feel the Spirit." The organ prelude will be William Bolcom's setting of "Galilee;" the postlude will be an improvisation on musical themes from the service music.
