Faithfulness

From Joshua 24:14-15

Leader: Now therefore revere the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness
People: Put away the gods that your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord
Leader: Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve
People: Whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River
Leader: Or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living
People: But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord

Cody Sandahl

Adapted from Psalm 12

Leader: Help, Lord, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.

People: Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering lips speak with deception.

Leader: May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue that says, “We will

triumph with our tongues; we own our lips—who is our master?

People: Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now

arise, says the Lord. “I will protect them from those who malign them.”

Leader: And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay,

purified seven times.

People: O Lord, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever.

Pastor: Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

All: How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

Pastor: They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

All: For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.

Your steadfast love, O Lord,

Extends to the heavens,

Your faithfulness to the clouds.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,

Your judgments are like the great deep;

You save all of creation, O Lord. So please help us to depend fully upon you.

I will sing of your steadfast love, O LORD, forever;

with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness

to all generations.

I have sworn to my servant David:

‘I will establish your descendants forever,

and build your throne for all generations.’”

Praise the Lord!
