Opening Song: Coram Deo by Antoine BradfordLyrics:Time and time againI know that I've seen Your handsHoly and holding me upAgain and againAnd through all the ups and the downsThorny and golden crownsFaithful You've always been (You've always been)My heart sings in wonderAnd I can't help but sayLord, You are everything to meJesus, You are everything to me (You are, You are, You are)In You I have my beingAnd Your love's a living streamConstant and overflowingAnd it satisfies all of my longingsMy heart sings in wonder, oh-ohAnd I can't help but sayLord, You are everything to meJesus, You are everything (You are, You are, You are)In You I have my beingAll my joy is found in chasing YouAnd I'll chase You till I have more of YouAll my joy is (You're my treasure, my being, God)Found in chasing You (You're my portion forever)And I'll chase You (You're my treasure, my being, God)Till I have more of You (You're my portion forever)All my joy is (You're my treasure, my being, God)Found in chasing You (You're my portion forever)And I'll chase You (You're my treasure, my being, God)Till I have more of You (You're my portion forever)Passage: 5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.(Colossians Musical Reflection: Harp meditation No. 1 by Gretchen KirbyReflection Notes: A repetitive pattern in the left hand provides a meditative foundation while the right hand experiments with ascending lines. The tune is meant to be joyful and evoke delight. Prayer:Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your grace that your faithful people offer you true and laudable service: Grant that we may run without stumbling to obtain your heavenly promises; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
