Countdown to worship

Bishop Errenous Earl McCloud, Jr.

Leader: I was glad when they said unto
me, let us go into the house of the Lord;
our feet shall stand within thy gates, O
Jerusalem.
Congregation: For a day in thy courts is
better than a thousand; I’d rather be a
doorkeeper in the house of my God than
to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Leader: Because of the house of the Lord
our God I will seek thy good.
Congregation: Those that are planted in
the house of the Lord shall flourish in the
courts of our God.

Leader: Blessed are they that dwell in
the house; Lord I have loved thy
habitation the place where thy honor
dwelleth.
Congregation: For the Lord is in His
holy temple let all the earth keep silence
before Him.

Leader: Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my heart be acceptable
in thy sight, O Lord my strength and my
redeemer.
Congregation: O sing unto the Lord a
new song for He has done marvelous
things. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord,
all the earth sing praises.

AMEC #364

My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

Refrain
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil.

Refrain
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

When he shall come
with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found:
dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne

Refrain
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

There is something about that name.
Master. Savior. Jesus.
Like the Fragrance after the rain.

Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.
Let all heaven and earth proclaim.
That kings and kingdoms
will pass away.
But there is something
about that name.

Rev. Elsie Curl
Matthew 7:21-27
21 “Not everyone who says to
me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but only
the one who does the will of my
Father who is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me on that
day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name and in
your name drive out demons and
in your name perform many
miracles?’
23 Then I will tell them plainly,
‘I never knew you. Away from me,
you evildoers!’

24 “Therefore everyone who
hears these words of mine and
puts them into practice is like a
wise man who built his house on
the rock.
25 The rain came down, the
streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house; yet it
did not fall, because it had its
foundation on the rock.

26 But everyone who hears these
words of mine and does not put
them into practice is like a foolish
man who built his house on sand.
27 The rain came down, the
streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house, and
it fell with a great crash.”

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 Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
dead, and buried;

on the third day he rose from the
dead; he ascended into heaven, and
sitteth at 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 Spirit, the
church universal, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting.

All things come of Thee,
O Lord;

GIVE A THOUGHT TO AFRICA
'Neath the burning sun
There are hosts of weary hearts
Waiting to be won
Many lives have passed away
on swamps and sod
There are voices crying now
for the Living God

Refrain:
Tell the Love of Jesus
By the hills and waters
God bless Africa
and Her sons and daughters

BREATHE A PRAYER FOR AFRICA
A prayer sincere and True
In this continent of ours
There is much to do
There are many souls to win
from darkness and sin
There are many hearts to cheer
Sun in deep despair

Tell the Love of Jesus
By the hills and waters
God bless Africa
and Her sons and daughters
