Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

1. Exodus 17:1-7
2. John 4:5-42

Mini-Message (if children are present)

CH4 540 I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

1. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
   ‘Come unto Me and rest;
   lay down, thou weary one, lay down
   thy head upon My breast’:
   I came to Jesus as I was,
   weary, and worn, and sad;
   I found in Him a resting-place,
   and He has made me glad.
   

2. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
   ‘Behold, I freely give
   the living water; thirsty one,
   stoop down and drink, and live’:
   I came to Jesus, and I drank
   of that life-giving stream;
   my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
   and now I live in Him.
   

3. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
   ‘I am this dark world’s light;
   look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
   and all thy day be bright’:
   I looked to Jesus and I found
   in Him my star, my sun;
   and in that light of life I’ll walk
   till travelling days are done.
   

Message

CH4 550 As the Deer Pants for the Water

1. As the deer pants for the water,
   so my soul longs after You.
   You alone are my heart’s desire
   and I long to worship You.
   

   You alone are my strength, my shield,
   to You alone may my spirit yield.
   You alone are my heart’s desire
   and I long to worship You.
   

2. I want You more than gold or silver,
   only You can satisfy.
   You alone are the real joy-giver
   and the apple of my eye.
   

   You alone are my strength, my shield,
   to You alone may my spirit yield.
   You alone are my heart’s desire
   and I long to worship You.
   

3. You’re my friend
   and You’re my brother,
   even though You are a king.
   I love You more than any other,
   so much more than anything.
   

   You alone are my strength, my shield,
   to You alone may my spirit yield.
   You alone are my heart’s desire
   and I long to worship You.

CH4 622 We Sing a Love That Sets All People Free

1. We sing a love that sets all people free,
   that blows like wind, that burns like scorching flame,
   enfolds like earth, springs up like water clear:
   come, living love, live in our hearts today.
   

2. We sing a love that seeks another’s good,
   that longs to serve and not to count the cost,
   a love that, yielding, finds itself made new:
   come, caring love, live in our hearts today.
   

3. We sing a love, unflinching, unafraid
   to be itself, despite another’s wrath,
   a love that stands alone and undismayed:
   come, strengthening love, live in our hearts today.
   

4. We sing a love, that, wandering, will not rest
   until it finds its way, its home, its source,
   through joy and sadness pressing on refreshed:
   come, pilgrim love, live in our hearts today.
   

5. We sing a burning, fiery, Holy Ghost
   that seeks out shades of ancient bitterness,
   transfiguring these, as Christ in every heart:
   come joyful love, live in our hearts today.
