We've come to worship and praise You
'cause You are worthy

Blessing and honor
And glory and power
Forever be Yours

I Rest In You
Gracious God
Your staff and Your rod
They comfort me
Creator of all
You took the fall
So I could be free
O Father
O Father
I rest in You
There's no other
No other
Love like You
Surly
Your goodness and mercy
Shall follow me
All the days of my life
A Greater Grace

A Greater Grace
With a friendly neighborhood love
You look over me
With a still and silent voice
You speak to me
With a warm forgiving smile
Lord, You adore me
With a simple childlike trust
I draw you nearer, nearer
Nearer to me
You give a greater grace
Then I ever could imagine
Humbled I surrender my pride
You give a greater grace
Then I ever could imagine
I'm awash in heaven's tide
With a faithful guardian love
You watch over me
With a strong and guiding hand
You provide for me
With a gentle forgiving heart
Lord, You adore me
With a simple childlike trust
I draw you nearer, nearer
Nearer to me
I come humbled
I come humbled
Humbled by Your presence
As I draw nearer to You
You draw nearer to me
The more I surrender
The more I'm free

Ecclesiastes
"Satisfaction"
"Satisfaction"
Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26
Satisfaction cannot be found in education
12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
15 What is crooked cannot be straightened;
what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.” 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.
18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
the more knowledge, the more grief.
Satisfaction cannot be found in pleasure
2 I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. 2 “Laughter,” I said, “is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?” 3 I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.
4 I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. 5 I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. 6 I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees. 7 I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. 8 I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired male and female singers, and a harem[a] as well—the delights of a man’s heart. 9 I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.
10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my labor,
and this was the reward for all my toil.
11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun.
Satisfaction cannot be found in wisdom
12 Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom,
and also madness and folly.
What more can the king’s successor do
than what has already been done?
13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly,
just as light is better than darkness.
14 The wise have eyes in their heads,
while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both.
15 Then I said to myself,
“The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain by being wise?”
I said to myself,
“This too is meaningless.”
16 For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered;
the days have already come when both have been forgotten.
Like the fool, the wise too must die!
Satisfaction cannot be found in work
17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.
19 And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. 20 So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. 21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. 22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? 23 All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.
24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Communion
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ESV)
Communion Verse
We have come to You
We have come to You
Make Your presence know to us
Under the Sun
What does a man gain by all the toil
At which he toils under the sun
What does a man gain by all the toil
All is vanity under the sun
Blessing
May the Lord bless us and keep us;
May he make His face shine upon us, and be gracious to us,
May he lift up His countenance upon us, and give us peace.

What does a man gain by all the toil
At which he toils under the sun
What does a man gain by all the toil
All is vanity under the sun

A generation goes and comes
But the earth remains forevermore
A generation goes and comes
All is vanity evermore
A generation goes and comes
But the earth remains forevermore
A generation goes and comes
All is vanity evermore
All is vanity evermore
And so we search for more
And so we search for more
And so we search for more
'cause all is vanity under the sun
All is vanity under the sun
The sun it rises and goes down
It hastens to rise again
The sun it rises and goes down
All is vanity under the sun
And so we search for more
And so we search for more
And so we search for more
'cause all is vanity under the sun
All is vanity under the sun
The sun it rises and goes down
It hastens to rise again
The sun it rises and goes down
All is vanity under the sun
All is vanity under the sun
