Worship time – This is my desire to worship you

Blessing to close

Oh let my love with fervour burn, and from the world now let me turn;
Living for Thee, and Thee alone, bringing Thee pleasure on Thy throne;
Only one life, “’twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, yes only one, now let me say, “Thy will be done”;
And when at last I’ll hear the call, I know I’ll say “twas worth it all”;
Only one life, “’twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last. ”

Welcome

Welcome to our midweek worship service. This is now the 11th week of lockdown and, like me, I’m sure you are all missing meeting together to worship God.

The good news is that God knows you heart and He gladly accepts your worship wherever you are.
