I've heard a thousand stories of
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

I've seen many searching for
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!
