A mark of the faithful church is singing praise to God together in unity. But worship can be one of the divisive practices of a church. We sing different songs, in different ways. When worship is about our preferences, it divides. When it is about God, it unites us.
As OCC grows, we are prayerfully seeking ways to unite our voices together in song, across the many styles that we bring together. So, each week, David is going to post a new song with a link that you can get to know so we can sing together on Sunday.
This week, we are trying something new! Instead of speaking our 'Call to Worship', we are going to sing it, in a call and response fashion.
Here's the words...
Congregational Response
Lord, our God
we give you praise!
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same,
Lord, our God
we give you praise!
Leader:
Attend dear Lord
to Your people now...
Response
Leader:
There is none
like our God Jehovah!
Response
Leader:
Such mercy!
Your blood like cleansing rain has washed away our stains
Leader:
Humbled, dare we
gather to approach Thee...
Response
Leader:
Welcomed by the blood You've shed so freely!
Response
Leader:
Your grace is
sufficient for my case
my failures you’ve erased!
