FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT

Worship: 8 & 10:45 am

Num. 21:4-9; Ps.107:1-3, 17-22; Eph. 2:1-10; John 3:14-21

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,

so that everyone who believes in him should not perish,

but have eternal life.

Gospel Acclamation for the Fourth Sunday in Lent (John 3:16)

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul,

What wondrous love is this, O my soul!

What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss

to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,

to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!

When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,

When I was sinking down, sinking down,

When I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown,

Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,

Christ laid aside his crown for my soul!

To God and the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing,

To God and to the Lamb, I will sing;

To God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM,

While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;

While millions join the theme, I will sing!

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on;

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be,

And through eternity, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;

And through eternity I'll sing on.
