O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2  So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. 3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 4 So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.

AlThe King of all Creation, set aside His crown
A Servant to the Fathers love, descended from His throne above
Author of Salvation, giver of new life
Crucified to pay for sin, our righteousness is in the name of -

Chorus

Jesus, every heart and tongue confess
Your name above all names
All things of this earth belong to you
Forever You will reign

God of Resurrection, conquerer of death
Ruler over everything, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings is - Chorus

Highly exalted is the name, of Jesus Christ
Heaven and earth declare all praise, to Jesus Christ
Highly exalted is the name, of Jesus Christ
Heaven and earth declare all praise to - Chorus

When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold, Through life's fearful path
For my love is often cold, He must hold me fast

Chorus
He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast

Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast
Precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast
He'll not let my soul be lost, His Promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast - Chorus

For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied, He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
Till our faith is turned to sight, When He comes at last - Chorus

Father, We come before You aware of how easily our hearts wander.
You have called us to trust You, love You, and walk in Your ways,
yet we confess that our grip on faith is often weak. We chase after lesser things. We rely on our own strength. We grow anxious, fearful, and forgetful of Your promises.

Lord, we confess the sins we know and the ones we fail to see—
the harsh words, the hidden pride, the quiet doubts that pull us away from You.

If our salvation depended on our faithfulness alone, we would be in trouble. But we thank You that our hope does not rest in our grip on You, but in Your steadfast grip on us.

Because of Jesus—His cross, His mercy, and His resurrection—
forgive us, cleanse us, and renew us.

Teach our hearts to rest in Your grace. Strengthen our faith, and remind us that when we cannot hold on, Christ holds us fast. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Before the throne of God above 

I have a strong and perfect plea 

A great High Priest whose name is love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands 

My name is written on His heart 

I know that while in heav'n He stands 

No tongue can bid me thence depart  


When Satan tempts me to despair 

And tells me of the guilt within

Upward I look and see Him there 

Who made an end of all my sin

Because the sinless Savior died 

My sinful soul is counted free 

For God the Just is satisfied 

To look on Him and pardon me 



Behold Him there, the risen
Lamb 
My perfect, spotless Righteousness 

The great unchangeable I AM 

The King of glory and of grace 

One with Himself, I cannot die

My soul is purchased by His blood 

My life is hid with Christ on high 

With Christ my Savior and my God - Chorus

In addition to taking children to Ridge Kids and using the restroom, take time to meet/greet one another. “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25)

5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."

Main Point: Today’s sermon will show from Scripture that meekness plays a vital role in our lives, especially in suffering and perseverance. Meekness seeks to model Christ’s strength under control, entrusting our lives to serve faithfully and placing our hope eternally.

Point 1: Meekness seeks to model Christ’s strength under control, entrusting our lives

Point 2: Meekness seeks to model Christ’s strength under control, serving faithfully, and placing our hope eternally

How deep the Father’s love for us

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom

Chorus

We will feast in the house of Zion 

We will sing with our hearts restored 

He has done great things, we will say together 

We will feast and weep no more



We will not be burned by the fire 

He is the LORD our God 

We are not consumed, by the flood 

Upheld, protected, gathered up - Chorus 



In the dark of night, before the dawn 

My soul, be not afraid 

For the promised morning, oh how long?

Oh God of Jacob, be my strength - Chorus

Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed 

You are the Faithful One 

And from the garden to the grave 

Bind us together, bring shalom. - Chorus

Having been reminded of the future grace which is ours in Jesus Christ the Lord, may you now be refreshed by the grace which is yours already:

• You are loved by God the Father - there is no one left to please.
• You are saved by God the Son - there is nothing left to prove.
• You are comforted by God the Spirit - there is nothing left to fear.

Autumn Ridge Family - you are sent into the world to make disciples of all nations. Go, therefore: in the love of God the Father, in the resurrection of God the Son, and in the comfort of God the Spirit; now and forevermore. Amen.
