Opening Hymn; Come, now is the time to worship by The Cedarmont Kids;
Come, now is the time to worship.
Come, now is the time to give your heart.
Come, just as you are to worship.
Come, just as you are before your God, come.
One day every tongue will confess You are God,
One day every knee will bow;
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose You now. (repeat from top)
Instrumental interlude
One day every tongue will confess You are God,
One day every knee will bow;
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose you now.
Come, now is the time to worship.
Come, now is the time to give your heart.
Come, just as you are to worship.
Come, just as you are before your God, come.
Come.
When Ezra studied the law of Moses and looked back over the history of the nation turning away from Our Heavenly Father, he understood that it wasn't just enough to know the law. Ezra chose twelve priests and puts them in charge of all the treasures, vessels, bowls, and offerings of gold and silver that they're bringing back to Jerusalem. Ezra gets up and kneels, spreads out his hands to the LORD, and prays. While Ezra prays in front of the temple, a large number of other people (men, women, and children) come and pray too; to help build up their holy faith through prayer in the Holy Spirit (Jude 1:20), keeping nearer to Christ (Jude 1:21), helping others (Jude 1:22- 23), and not liking sin (Jude 1:23). September is a perfect month because it reminds us that no matter what life brings our way, we can always get through it with the help of Our Heavenly Father.
