“Give Thanks”
Words & Music: Henry Smith, OneLicense #A-729109
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
“Give thanks”

Opening Song
“사랑하는 자야 일어나 함께 가자(Arise, My Love, and Come Away)”
Words & Music: Bang Sung-kwang, OneLicense #A-729109
매일 나를 부르시는 주님 내가 어디에 어떤 맘일지라도
Lord, You call me every day, no matter where I am or what is in my heart
느껴볼 수 없던 벅참을 오늘도 내 맘에 감싸주시네
Today, You wrap my heart in an overwhelming grace I could never have imagined
매일 이 맘으로 주께 나아가오니 나의 마음을 새롭게 하시고
As I come before You with this heart each day, renew my mind
넘치는 주 사랑은 여기 함께하시니 나를 초대하네 부르심으로
Your overflowing love is right here with us, inviting me to Your call
사랑하는 자야 일어나 함께 가자
“My beloved, arise and let us go together”
너를 언제나 부르시는 주가 손 내미시네
The Lord, who always calls you, is reaching out His hand
너의 가는 길에 찬란히 빛나는 주 사랑
May His brilliant love shine upon your pathway always
항상 함께하길 너의 손을 잡고 걸어가길 기대해
I look forward to walking by your hand, holding it close
Scripture Reading
Song of Songs 2:8~13
Geon Seo
8 The voice of my beloved! Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills. 9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, there he stands behind our wall, gazing in at the windows, looking through the lattice 10 My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away, 11 for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. 13 The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one,and come away.

Musical Response
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard
Words: Fanny J. Crosby, Music: William H. Doane, OneLicense #A-729109
- I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And my will be lost in Thine.
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side. - Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side. - O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Blessing
Rev. Kil Jae Park
