O Come Let Us Adore Him

Yesterday we began our worship services with a call to worship - "O Come Let Us Adore Him". Before we started singing the song I shared an exhortation that (hopefully) underscores the reason we have come to adore Christ - a narrative overview of His life and work.

O come, let us adore Him…
He who was before time began,
Through whom all things were created
Every power, every person, every creature
And in whom all things are sustained

O come, let us adore Him…
The God who took on flesh and bone,
Who stepped into time to live in our neighborhood.
Who humbled himself, and came to serve and not be served

O come, let us adore Him…
Him who identified with the outcasts of society,
Who loved the lowly and despised
And spoke against the self-righteous

O come, let us adore Him…
A man of sorrows, familiar with suffering.
Despised and rejected by men,
The Crucified One, crushed for our sin
So that we might walk with God once again.

O come, let us adore Him…
The Resurrection and the Life,
The Savior who defeated sin, death and Satan
Who destroyed the dividing wall of hostility
So that there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free,
Male nor female, but rather
One global family of God, united by His blood

O come, let us adore Him…Christ the Lord
