Chorus “Cannons” Wickham (Children come to the front to meet with the pastor)

It’s falling from the clouds, a strange and lovely sound. I hear it in the thunder and the rain. It’s ringing in the skies, like cannons in the night; The music of the universe plays.

You are holy, great, and mighty. The moon and the stars declare who You are. I’m so unworthy, but still You love me. Forever my heart will sing of how great You are.

Pastor’s Pals Pastor

Chorus “Cannons” Wickham Rachel Haase, soloist

Beautiful and free, the song of galaxies Reaching far beyond the Milky Way. Let’s join in with the sound; come on let’s sing it out As the music of the universe plays.

You are holy, great, and mighty. The moon and the stars declare who You are. I’m so unworthy, but still You love me. Forever my heart will sing of You.

All glory, honor, power is Yours, Amen. All glory, honor, power is Yours, Amen. All glory, honor, power is Yours forever, Amen.

Scripture and Prayer Sarah Stevens

Hymn “Let It Be Said of Us” Fry

Let it be said of us that the Lord was our passion, That with gladness we bore every cross we were given; That we fought the good fight, that we finished the course, Knowing within us the power of the risen Lord.

Let it be said of us: we were marked by forgiveness, We were known by our love and delighted in meekness; We were ruled by His peace, heeding unity’s call, Joined as one body that Christ would be seen by all.

*Hymn 682 “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah” Williams/Hayes
