First Presbyterian Church
Palm Sunday Order of Worship
April 5, 2020
CALL
TO WORSHIP (In Unison)
Let us wave our
Palms in Triumph as we welcome our King into the City. May my Hosannas rise up with all of us to
worship the King. Bless us through Holy
Week as we go from triumph to triumph, as triumphal King today, and in triumph
over death on Easter. Though we continue
to worship apart, may our hearts ever gather as one, in You, for You, and
through You, God Most High.
AMEN
Hymn
Today: “Jesus to You We Wave Our Palms” (Unison: Tune of Amazing Grace)
Jesus,
to You we wave our palms,
Hosanna
to our King!
You
saved us all from Satan’s power,
Now
heaven’s bells shall ring.
CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON (In Unison)
Father in Heaven, today we are called to
look from the Mount of Olives, to see Jesus, though proclaimed King, on his way
to die for our sakes. May we be filled
with thanksgiving in the knowledge that Jesus died for our sins. To honor Him, lead us to confess all our sins
and shortcomings that we may know again the refreshment of His
forgiveness. We praise You Lord for the
gift of Your only begotten Son.
Amen.
INVITATION
If you do not know Jesus as Your Lord and
Savior, but You would like to come to Him, or come to Him again, You can do wo
with this simple prayer:
“Dear Lord I need You, please come into my
life today. Amen”
