Song of Praise
“Oh For a Thousand Tongues”
Chapel Ensemble
Verse 1
Verse 3
Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace.
Jesus the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life and health and peace.
Verse 2
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of Thy name.
Chorus
So, come on and sing out,
Let our anthem grow loud.
There is one great love: Jesus.
Verse 4
He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin,
He sets the pris'ner free.
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
Prayer of Confession
O Dios, es tan fácil perder el camino. Sin darnos cuenta, nos perdemos
en nuestros temores; las sombras de la vida nos controlan; vivimos
preocupados por nuestro sufrimiento personal. Nos quejamos de nuestra
suerte, a pesar de que nuestras copas rebosan de tu bondad y
misericordia. Nos damos tentativamente, somos seguidores ineficientes.
Cámbianos, señor, queremos ser tus discípulos. Amen.
O God, it is so easy to stray from the best we know. Before we realize it, we are lost in our fears,
dominated by life’s shadows, preoccupied with our own suffering. We complain of our lot, even though
our cups overflow with your goodness and mercy. We are reluctant givers and ineffective followers. Turn
us around, God, for we want to be disciples. Amen.
Assurance of God’s
Forgiveness
“Cuánto nos ama (How He Loves Us)”
Chapel Ensemble
Él tiene celo por mí,
su amor es un huracán yo árbol soy
doblándome bajo el peso de su viento y
gracia.
Y así de repente,
Ya no recuerdo mi aflicción eclipsada en
gloria,
me doy cuenta de cuan hermoso eres Tú
y cuan grande es tu afecto por mí.
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and
mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by
glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
Oh, Él nos ama hoy,
cuanto Él nos ama,
Él nos ama hoy.
And oh, how He loves us, oh,
Oh, how He loves us,
How He loves us, Oh
Él nos ama,
¡Oh! Él nos ama,
¡Oh! Él nos ama
cuanto Él nos ama.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh, how He loves us,
Oh, how He loves us,
Oh, how He loves.
Él es mi premio y yo su porción
su mirada de gracia nos trae redención,
si esa gracia es un mar nos sumergimos,
el cielo y la tierra se une en un beso,
y mi corazón salta en mi pecho
no hay tiempo de persistir en lamento
cuando pienso en tu amor.
And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If his grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And Heaven and earth unite like a kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don't have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about the way...

RESPONDING TO GOD’S WORD
Song of Response
“Blessed Assurance”
Chapel Ensemble
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.
Oh what foretaste of glory divine.
Heir of salvation, purchase of God.
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Perfect submission, all is at rest.
I and the Savior am happy and blessed.
Watching and waiting, looking above.
Filled with His goodness, lost in His blood.
This is my story. This is my song.
Praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story. This is my song.
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight.
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy whispers of joy.
Oh, what a Savior.
Wonderful Jesus.
Death could not hold You
You are victorious
Grace to the risen King

ABOUT JUSTO GONZÁLEZ
Dr. Justo L. González was born in Habana, Cuba, August 9, 1937. In 1961 he became the youngest
person to be awarded a Ph. D. in historical theology at Yale University, and also he became one of the few
first generation Latino theologians in the USA to come from a Protestant background. In 1964 he was
ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacraments by the Methodist Church. For thirty years he taught in a
variety of theological institutions. He has given hundreds of lectures in North America, South America,
Europe and Asia. Justo has written over one hundred books, although he is better known for his twovolume The Story of Christianity and his three-volume A History of Christian Thought, which have been
translated into eight languages. Besides his passion for connecting theology with the life of the church
through publications, his most cherished and valued activity is the mentoring and encouraging of
Hispanics and other minority scholars. Today, as a retired professor, he devotes his time to research and
writing, and to promoting Latino theological education. Dr. Justo González is married to the Rev. Dr.
Catherine Gunsalus González, Professor Emerita of Church History at Columbia Theological Seminary.
They live in Decatur, Georgia, where their daughter, two granddaughters,
and two great-grandchildren also reside.
