Worship Preparation-September 13, 2026
Hello Church Family!
This Sunday we gather to reflect on Matthew 5:33-37
Below is a look at hymns we’ll be singing with lyrics and links to examples on Youtube.
“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old,
‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord
what you have sworn.’ But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all,
either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth,
for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.

A Charge to Keep I Have
Author: Charles Wesley
Tune: Boylston Watch on YouTube
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs engage
To do my Master's will!
Arm me with watchful charge
As in Thy sight to live,
And now Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
Help me to watch and pray,
And still on Thee rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
But press to realms on high.
Rock of Ages
Author: Augustus Toplady
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands.
Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone; Thou must save and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress, Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly, Wash me, Savior, or I die!
While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
All For Jesus

All for Jesus, all for Jesus!
All my beings ransomed powers.
All my thoughts and words and doings.
All my days and all my hours.
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours;
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my days and all my hours.
Let my hands perform His bidding,
Let my feet run in His ways;
Let my eyes see Jesus only,
Let my lips speak forth His praise.
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
Let my lips speak out His praise;
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
Let my lips speak out His praise.
Oh, what a wonder! How amazing!
Jesus, glorious King of kings,
Deigns to call me His beloved,
Lets me rest beneath His wings.
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
Resting now beneath His wings;
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
Resting now beneath His wings.
