Mighty Fortress is Our God, A

VERSE 1
A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.

VERSE 2
Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God’s own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.

VERSE 3
And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God has willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.

VERSE 4
That Word above all earthly powers
no thanks to them abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever!

Be Thou My Vision

VERSE 1
Be thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light 

VERSE 2
Be thou my wisdom and thou my true word
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one 

VERSE 3
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and thou only, first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art 

VERSE 4
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all 

Nothing But the Blood of Jesus

VERSE 1
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus 

CHORUS
Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! 

VERSE 2
For my pardon, this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing, this I plead
Nothing but the blood of Jesus 

VERSE 3
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Behold The Lamb

VERSE 1
Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away,
Slain for us – and we remember
The promise made that all who come in faith
Find forgiveness at the cross. So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of peace
Around the table of the King. 

VERSE 2
The body of our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Torn for you – eat and remember
The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life
Paid the price to make us one.
So we share in this bread of life, And we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love Around the table of the King. 

VERSE 3
The blood that cleanses every stain of sin,
Shed for you – drink and remember
He drained death’s cup that all may enter in
To receive the life of God.
So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of grace
Around the table of the King. 

VERSE 4
And so with thankfulness and faith we rise To respond, – and to remember
Our call to follow in the steps of Christ As His body here on earth.
As we share in His suffering
We proclaim Christ will come again!
And we’ll join in the feast of heaven Around the table of the King ” 

O Christ What Burdens Bowed Thy Head

VERSE 1
O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head! Our load was laid on Thee;
Thou stoodes’t in the sinner’s stead, Didst bear all ill for me.
A Victim led, Thy blood was shed; Now there’s no load for me. 

VERSE 2
Death and the curse were in our cup: O Christ, ’twas full for Thee;
But Thou hast drained the last dark drop, ’Tis empty now for me.
That bitter cup, love drank it up; Now blessing’s draught for me. 

VERSE 3
Jehovah lifted up His rod; O Christ, it fell on Thee!
Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God; There’s not one stroke for me.
Thy tears, Thy blood, beneath it flowed; Thy bruising healeth me. 

VERSE 4
The tempest’s awful voice was heard, O Christ, it broke on Thee!
Thy open bosom was my ward, It braved the storm for me.
Thy form was scarred, Thy visage marred; Now cloudless peace for me.

VERSE 5
Jehovah bade His sword awake; O Christ, it woke ’gainst Thee!
Thy blood the flaming blade must slake; Thine heart its sheath must be;
All for my sake, my peace to make; Now sleeps that sword for me. 

VERSE 6
For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died, And I have died in Thee!
Thou’rt ris’n—my hands are all untied, And now Thou liv’st in me.
When purified, made white and tried, Thy glory then for me! 

5:21

VERSE 1
Our guilt was placed securely on His shoulders
Our lives are sown in sin, O the price is high!
His body bloodied and his Name reviled
It was for us, though God, He bled and died! 

CHORUS
All my sin and shame
Went to the Lamb that was slain;
And all His righteousness has come to me!
His grace so great and free
Given to all who will believe;
Come all who thirst and drink, drink freely!

VERSE 2
The wrath of God is coming for the wicked
Where can we hide from His Holy sight?
We run unto the Lamb that’s slain for safety
He drank the cup to make us reconciled!

BRIDGE
We’re so wicked
That He had to die
Yet, so loved that
He was willing to give up his life

All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name

VERSE 1
All hail the power of Jesus’ name! 
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all!

VERSE 2 
O seed of Israel’s chosen race

now ransomed from the fall, 

hail him who saves you by his grace,
 and crown him Lord of all.

Hail him who saves you by his grace,
 and crown him Lord of all!

VERSE 3 
Let every tongue and every tribe responsive to his call,
to him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all.
To him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all!

VERSE 4 
Oh, that with all the sacred throng we at his feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song and crown him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song and crown him Lord of all.

BITTERNESS WILL ROT YOUR SOUL BUT CHRIST WILL MAKE IT SWEET: Ruth 1:19-22

OUTLINE

I. Naomi and Ruth returned to the Bethlehem, the House of Bread (v.19)

II. Naomi wanted her named changed from Pleasant to Bitter because the LORD had dealt bitterly with her (v.20)

III. Naomi looked only at her current circumstance, even misconstruing the story of her life (v.21a)

IV. Naomi knew that it was the LORD who had brought calamity on her, though she wrongly understood why (v.21b)

V. Despite the bitterness of Naomi, the LORD was working to redeem both her and Ruth (v.22)

DISCUSSION Read verses 19-22.

1. How does Naomi react when she comes home to Bethlehem?

2. Did she respond more like Job or Job’s wife? See Job 1-2

3. Why is verse 22 significant in the narrative of the book of Ruth?

How Deep the Father’s Love For Us

VERSE 1
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
bring many sons to glory

VERSE 2
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

VERSE 3
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

ENDING
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son

Ekklesia Muskogee is a reformed baptist church that gathers for worship in Muskogee, Oklahoma. We confess the 1689 second London baptist confession of faith. We affirm the five solas of the Reformation as well as the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as the five points of Calvinism), and each of our pastors would not be ashamed to be called a Calvinist. We are a church led by elders, of which there is a plurality (also called pastors and overseers in the Scriptures). Our mission is to make disciples, love cities, and plant churches.
