............."Count Your Blessings" (Insert) 

1. When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.


Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.


2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by.


Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.


3. When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;

Count your many blessings, money cannot buy

Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.


Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.


4. So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,

Do not be discouraged, God is over all;

Count your many blessings, angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.


Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.


OPENING PRAYER:.....

..............................Rev. George Abosi


CALL TO WORSHIP:....,

Leader: The Lord has said, “Zion is my resting place forever; for I have desired it.


People: “I will abundantly bless its provisions; I will satisfy its poor with bread.


Leader: “Its priests I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.


People: “There I will cause a horn to sprout up for David, a lamp for my anointed one.”


Leader: Let us worship God!

ALL: We here at UHPC have come to
worship God!


HYMN 1:......"Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise"


PRAYER FOR CONFESSION:. (In Unison)

O God of mercy, woe be upon us, for we do not obey you. We confess one baptism, yet
we foster divisions in Christ’s body. We
observe the Lord’s Supper but work not
for Christ ‘s peace. We confess our reluctance to extend your favor to those we don’t like. Forgive and restore us for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ. You are a God
of dominion; we live by your grace alone.


ASSURANCE OF PARDON:

Leader: We are told in Scripture that the days are coming when God will raise up a
righteous Branch, who shall reign and deal
wisely, who shall execute justice and
righteousness in the land. We believe that
Christ has come and performed all that
was foretold by the prophets. I can assure you that in Jesus Christ we are forgiven.


GLORIA PATRI: .......................(In Unison)

Glory be to Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen. Amen.


PASSING THE PEACE:

Leader: Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us forgive one another. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.

People: And peace be with you also.


“ I’VE GOT PEACE LIKE RIVER”.   

I've got PEACE like a river (3Xs) in my soul - repeat

I've got JOY like a fountain(3Xs) in my soul - repeat
I've got LOVE like an ocean(3Xs) in my soul- repeat


LIFE OF THE CHURCH:.......Linda Simms-Chin

QUOTE:.................................Walter Williams


SONG OF ILLUMINATION: "Open Our Eyes"                                                            #2086

Open our eyes, Lord,

we want to see Jesus,

to reach out and touch him,

and say that we love him.


Open our ears, Lord,

and help us to listen.

Open our eyes, Lord,

we want to see Jesus.


PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION:,,(In Unison)

God, source of all light, by your Word you give light to the soul. Pour out upon us the
spirit of wisdom and understanding that,
being taught by you in Holy Scripture, our
hearts and minds may be opened to know the things that pertain to life and holiness,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

..............................Rev. George Abosi


PROFESSION OF FAITH /APOSTLES CREED: 

.......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; He descended into hell; the third day, He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and is seated 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 Ghost; the Holy Catholic Church; the  communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting.    Amen.

CLOSING HYMN:.."Now Thank We All Our                                  God"

1. Now thank we all our God

With heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things hath done,

In whom this world rejoices;

Who, from our mothers’ arms

Hath blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love,

And still is ours today.


2. O may this bounteous God

Through all our life be near us,

With ever joyful hearts

And blessed peace to cheer us;

And keep us in His grace,

And guide us when perplexed,

And free us from all ills

In this world and the next.


3. All praise and thanks to God,

Who reigns in highest heaven,

To Father and to Son

And Spirit now be given.

The one eternal God,

Whom earth and heaven adore,

The God who was, and is,

And shall be evermore.

HYMN 1:.."Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise"      

1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,

Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.


2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;

Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above

Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.


3. To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;

In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;

We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,

And wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.


4. Thou reignest in glory, Thou rulest in light,

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;

All praise we would render; O help us to see

'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!























---------------------------------------------------------HYMN 2:...."Blessed Assurance"       

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

O what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.


[Refrain]

This is my story, this is my song,

praising my Savior, all the day long;

this is my story, this is my song,

praising my Savior all the day long.


2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,

visions of rapture now burst on my sight;

angels descending, bring from above

echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]


3. Perfect submission, all is at rest,

I in my Savior am happy and blest,

watching and waiting, looking above,

filled with his goodness, lost in his love. [Refrain]
