1 Timothy 3:1-7
A Noble Task
What should we look for in those entrusted with leading God's church? This Sunday, Pastor Jared continues our For the Church series in 1 Timothy 3:1-7. As we prepare to gather, take a few moments to read the passage and consider why godly leadership matters for the health and witness of the church. You can also listen to this week's worship songs as we prepare our hearts to worship together.
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty!
Lyrics
Praise to the Lord the Almighty
The King of creation
O my soul praise Him
For He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear
Now to His temple draw near
Join me in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord who o'er all things
So wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under His wings
Yes so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen
How all thy longings have been
Granted in what He ordaineth
Praise to the Lord who doth prosper
Thy work and defend thee
Surely His goodness and mercy here
Daily attend thee
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee
Oh the songs that we sing
And the honor we bring
We pour out on our King without measure
Lord we worship Your name
Giving glory and thanks
We will praise You forever
Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore Him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before Him
Let the Amen sound from His people again
Gladly forever adore Him
Oh the songs that we sing
And the honor we bring
We pour out on our King without measure
Lord we worship Your name
Giving glory and thanks
We will praise You forever
Lyrics
I was buried beneath my rebellion
Lost without hope of redemption
Blind in my need for a Savior
Oh but God
Crushed by the weight of my failure
Living the lie I created
Digging my grave without knowing
Oh but God oh but God
Rich in mercy how You loved me
Too much to let me stay lost
My salvation sent from heaven
Nailing my sin to a cross
Oh but God
You gave me a truth worth believing
And I traded my chains for Your freedom
Cause You were the one that I needed
Oh but God
Resurrecting my heart from the ruins
My rescue came through like the morning
Now this is my sure testimony
Oh but God oh but God
Rich in mercy how You loved me
Too much to let me stay lost
My salvation sent from heaven
Nailing my sin to a cross
Oh but God
All the wreckage of my choices
You have turned to life from ashes
Lifted from death risen with Him
Now I stand in confidence
All the wreckage of my choices
You have turned to life from ashes
Lifted from death risen with Him
Now I stand in confidence
Rich in mercy how You loved me
Too much to let me stay lost
My salvation sent from heaven
Nailing my sin to a cross
Oh Rich in mercy how You loved me
Too much to let me stay lost
My salvation sent from heaven
Nailing my sin to a cross
Oh but God Oh but God
Oh but God Oh but God
