Good Friday United Service

When I Survey

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

​

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

​

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

​

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

​

Isaac Watts

Cornerstone

Verse 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name


Chorus
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm He is Lord
Lord of all


Verse 2
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

Verse 3
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne

The Servant King

Verse 1
From heav'n You came helpless babe
Enter'd our world Your glory veil'd
Not to be served but to serve
And give Your life that we might live


Chorus
This is our God the Servant King
He calls us now to follow Him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King


Verse 2
There in the garden of tears
My heavy load He chose to bear
His heart with sorrow was torn
Yet not my will but Yours He said


Verse 3
Come see His hands and His feet
The scars that speak of sacrifice
Hands that flung stars into space
To cruel nails surrendered


Verse 4
So let us learn how to serve
And in our lives enthrone Him
Each other's needs to prefer
For it is Christ we're serving

How Deep the Father's Love

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

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

​

Stuart Townend

I Stand Amazed

Verse 1

I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me
A sinner condemned unclean


Chorus

How marvellous how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvellous how wonderful
Is my Saviour's love for me

​

Verse 2
For me it was in the garden
He prayed not My will but Thine
He had no tears for His own griefs
But sweat drops of blood for mine

​

Verse 3
He took my sins and my sorrows
He made them His very own
He bore the burden to Calvary
And suffered and died alone

​

Verse 4
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see
'Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me

​

Charles H. Gabriel, Dennis Allen
