The texts for today’s offertory and benediction are as follows:
Creation Song
John Andrew Schreiner and Eddy Duhan
He wraps himself in light as with a garment.
He spreads out the heavens and walks on the wings of the wind.
He sends forth the springs from the valleys; they flow between mountains.
The birds of the air dwell by the waters, lifting their voices in song.
Chorus: Singing, “Glory! Glory! Glory to the Lamb! All praises and honor forever!”
He made the moon for its seasons, the sun knows its setting.
He looks at the earth and it trembles, He touches the mountains and they smoke.
I will sing to the Lord all my life, I will sing praises to my God,
as long as I live, praises to the Lord, oh my soul.
Chorus
Singing, “Glory! Hallelujah! Glory to our God!
All praises and honor forever and ever, amen!
If Ye Love Me
Thomas Tallis
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter,
that he may ’bide with you forever, e’en the sp’rit of truth.

We welcome all people to begin or deepen their relationship with Christ through worship and study.
We invite all believers to fully participate in the life and ministry of our church as members, leaders,

differences be race, ethnicity, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability,
or socioeconomic status. We are blessed by our diversity and are unified in Christ.North Park Covenant North Park Church
