what they think You're like

But I've heard the tender whisper of

love in the dead of night

You tell me that You're pleased and

that I'm never alone

answers far and wide

But I know we're all searching for

answers only You provide

Because You know just what

we need before we say a word

CHORUS 2

O Come to the Altar

VERSE 1

Are you hurting and broken within

Overwhelmed by the weight of

your sin

Jesus is calling

Have you come to the end of yourself

Do you thirst for a drink from the well

Jesus is calling

CHORUS 1

O come to the altar

The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

VERSE 2

Leave behind your regrets and

mistakes

Come today there’s no reason to wait

Jesus is calling

Bring your sorrows and trade them

for joy

From the ashes a new life is born

Jesus is calling

CHORUS 2

O come to the altar

The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

BRIDGE

Oh what a Savior

Isn’t He wonderful

Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

Bow down before Him

For He is Lord of all

Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

VERSE 3

Bear your cross as you wait for

the crown

Tell the world of the treasure

you’ve found

Jesus is calling

Reckless Love

Cory Asbury

VERSE 1

Before I spoke a word,

You were singing over me

You have been so, so good to me

Before I took a breath,

You breathed Your life in me

You have been so, so kind to me

CHORUS 1

Oh, the overwhelming,

never-ending, reckless love of God

Oh, it chases me down,

fights 'til I'm found,

leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn't earn it,

I don't deserve it,

still You give Yourself away

Oh, the overwhelming,

never-ending, reckless love of God

VERSE 2

When I was Your foe,

still Your love fought for me

You have been so, so good to me

When I felt no worth,

You paid it all for me

You have been so, so kind to me

CHORUS 2

Oh, the overwhelming,

never-ending, reckless love of God

Oh, it chases me down,

fights 'til I'm found,

leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn't earn it,

I don't deserve it,

still You give Yourself away

Oh, the overwhelming,

never-ending, reckless love of God

BRIDGE

There's no shadow You won't light up

Mountain You won't climb up

Coming after me

There's no wall You won't kick down

Lie You won't tear down

Coming after me

CHORUS 3

Oh, the overwhelming,

never-ending, reckless love of God

Oh, it chases me down,

fights 'til I'm found,

leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn't earn it,

I don't deserve it,

still You give Yourself away

Oh, the overwhelming,

never-ending, reckless love of God

SERMON

Micah 6:8 Series #2 - Love Mercy

Micah 6:8 NIV

8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.

And what does the Lord require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy

and to walk humbly with your God.

Different people look for different things in the Ten Commandments. Some are looking for divine guidance, some for a code of living, but most people are looking for loopholes.

- Comedian and author, Sam Levenson,

Philippians 2:3-4 NIV

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Psalm 86:5 NIV

5 You, Lord, are forgiving and good,

abounding in love [CHESED] to all who call to You.

Numbers 14:18a NLT

The LORD is slow to anger and rich in unfailing love [CHESED], forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion …

2 Samuel 9:1, 3-4

9 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness [CHESED] for Jonathan’s sake?”

3 The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” [CHESED]

Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.”

4 “Where is he?” the king asked.

James 2:13 The Passion Translation (TPT)

…So by showing mercy you take dominion over judgment!

Ephesians 3:20 NLT

20 Now all glory to God, Who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
