Prelude (The light of Christ enters the world)
Call to Worship – Psalm 4:6-8 Good News Translation
There are many who pray: “Give us more blessings, O Lord. Look on us with kindness!”
But the joy that you have given me is more than they will ever have.
When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace; you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.

Unashamed Love
Verse
You’re callin’ me to lay aside
The worries of my day
To quiet down my busy mind
Find a hiding place
Worthy (You are) worthy
I open up my heart and let
My spirit worship Yours
I open up my mouth
And let a song of praise come forth
Worthy You are worthy
Chorus
Of a childlike faith
And of my honest praise
And of my unashamed love
Of a holy life
And of my sacrifice
And of my unashamed love
Ending
Worthy You are worthy (2X)
You are worthy (3X)
Scripture: 1 John 3:16 – 24 New Living Translation
16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister[f] in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. 19 Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. 20 Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.
21 Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. 22 And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.
23 And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. 24 Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.

The Happy Song
Chorus
Oh I could sing unending songs
Of how You saved my soul
Well I could dance a thousand miles
Because of Your great love
Verse
My heart is bursting Lord
To tell of all You’ve done
Of how You changed my life
And wiped away the past
I wanna shout it out
From ev’ry rooftop sing
For now I know that God
Is for me not against me
Chorus
Oh I could sing unending songs
Of how You saved my soul
Well I could dance a thousand miles
Because of Your great love
Bridge
Ev’rybody’s singing now
‘Cause we’re so happy
Ev’rybody’s dancing now
‘Cause we’re so happy
If only we could see Your face
And see You smiling over us
And unseen angels celebrate
For joy is in this place
Chorus
Oh I could sing unending songs
Of how You saved my soul
Well I could dance a thousand miles
Because of Your great love
For Joy is in this place
