Philippians 4
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, make remarks about the importance of going to God in reverence and fervent prayer.
It is at that time that we commune with God and receive His word by way of the Holy Spirit. Emphasize that we can
cast our cares at the altar and we can receive forgiveness
for our transgressions.
2. When the song restarts, read the scripture from the book
of Philippians 4:4-9, Matthew 6:6-13 and from the book of
I John 5:13-15. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
Is Your All on the Altar?
You have longed for sweet peace,
And for faith to increase,
And have earnestly, fervently prayed.
But you cannot have rest,
Or be perfectly blest,
Until all on the altar is laid.
Refrain:
Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart does the Spirit control?
You can only be blest,
And have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield him your body and soul.
Would you walk with the Lord
In the light of his Word,
And have peace and contentment alway?
You must do his sweet will
To be free from all ill --
On the altar your all you must lay. (Refrain)
O we never can know
What the Lord will bestow
Of the blessings for which we have prayed,
Till our body and soul
He doth fully control,
And our all on the altar is laid. (Refrain)
