O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end,

If Thou art by my side,

If Thou wilt be my guide.

SASB 450 Will Your Anchor Hold in the Storms of Life

Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the storm tides lift and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?

We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
Fastened to the rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior's love.

Will your eyes behold through the morning light
The city of gold and the harbor bright?
Will you anchor safe by the heavenly shore,
When life's storms are past for evermore?
ch
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
Fastened to the rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior's love.

HC 221 You Servants of God
v1
You servants of God, your Master proclaim,
And publish abroad His wonderful name;
The name all victorious of Jesus extol;
His Kingdom is glorious and rules over all.

Though hid from our sight,

The great congregation His triumphs shall sing,
Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.

All glory and power, all wisdom and might;
All honor and blessing, with angels above,
And thanks never ceasing and infinite love!

SASB 649 If Crosses Come
v1
If crosses come, if it should cost me dearly
To be the servant of my Servant Lord;
If darkness falls around the path of duty,
And men despise the Savior I’ve adored.
ch
I’ll not turn back, whatever it may cost;
I’m called to live, to love and save the lost.
I’ll not turn back, whatever it may cost;
I’m called to live, to love and save the lost.
v3
If tears should fall, if I am called to suffer,
If all I love men should deface, defame,
I’ll not deny the One that I have followed,
Nor be ashamed to bear my Master’s name.
ch
I’ll not turn back, whatever it may cost;
I’m called to live, to love and save the lost.
I’ll not turn back, whatever it may cost;
I’m called to live, to love and save the lost.

Take My Life, and Let It Be
Arr. James Curnow
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my will, and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
It shall be Thy royal throne.

"Counting the Cost"
Author : Bob Hartman
Luke 14:25-33
attributed to © the Author/engageworship.org
There were loads of people following Jesus. Loads and loads and loads. So what did he do?
Count them?
Write an article on church growth?
Pat himself on the back for a job well done? Take one massive selfie?
No, he turned to them and said,
"Listen. If you want to be my disciple, then you're going to have to hate your nearest and dearest: your mum, your dad, your brothers, your sisters, your wife, and even your kids. And, your own life, for that matter.
You want to be my disciple? Then pick up your cross and follow me. Count the cost. That's all I'm saying.
You'd do it if you wanted to build a tower. Of course you would.
You'd sit down with your builders and your accountants and you'd add up all the figures, so you'd know exactly how much money you'd need to finish the job.
You wouldn't rush out and dig the foundation and then say, "Oh dear, I've run out of money."
You'd look stupid, wouldn't you, with nothing to show but a great big hole in the ground?
Or say you were a king and you wanted to fight another king. You'd figure out how many men you needed to win the battle, wouldn't you? And you'd do it ahead of time.
You wouldn't send ten thousand of your soldiers against twenty thousand of his. No, if you were outnumbered to that extent, you'd send a delegation, waving white flags, to sue for peace.
In the same way, there aren't any of you who can become my disciples unless you are willing to give up everything you own.
You have to count the cost.”

I searched the world but it couldn't fill me
Man's empty praise and treasures that fade
Are never enough
Then You came along and put me back together
And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love
Oh there's nothing better than You
There's nothing better than You
Lord there's nothing
Nothing is better than You
I'm not afraid to show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord You've seen them all
And You still call me friend
'Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
And there's not a place
Your mercy and grace won't find me again
Oh there's nothing better than You
There's nothing better than You
Lord there's nothing
Nothing is better than You
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You're the only one who can
You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You're the only one who can
Oh there's nothing better than You
There's nothing better than You
Lord there's nothing
Nothing is better than You

YSB 254 Take Up Thy Cross
ch
“Take up Thy cross and follow Me.”
I hear the blessed Saviour call.
How can I make a lesser sacrifice,
When Jesus gave His all.
SASB 589 I Heard a Voice so Gently Calling
ch
I'll follow Thee, of life the giver,
I'll follow Thee, suffering redeemer,
I'll follow Thee, deny Thee never,
By Thy grace I'll follow Thee.

CCLI#6158927
v1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust
the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name
ch
Christ alone cornerstone
Weak made strong
in the Saviour's love
Through the storm He is Lord
Lord of all
v2
When darkness seems
to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil
v3
When He shall come
with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne
