Call to Worship [PLEASE STAND]

Leader God said, “This is my Son, with whom I am pleased.”

People But this one has no splendor, no beauty we would fancy.

Leader “This is my child, in whom I take delight.”

People But this one carries the load of a servant, not the scepter of a king.

Leader “This is my child, whom I have called.”

People But this one demands justice from all earth’s nations; his words shall

judge our own.

Leader “This is my child, whom I uphold.”

People But this one would release the dungeon’s prisoners; he would set the

captives free.

Leader “This is my child, whose hand I hold.”

People But this one is a man of sorrows; he is no stranger to grief.

Leader “This is my child; I give him to you.”

ALL Surely this child will bear our suffering on his shoulders and carry our

rejection in his heart. Wounded for our transgressions, he will be cut off

from the land of the living. Like sheep we have gone astray; like a lamb

he shall be led to the slaughter. And still our God declares it: “This is my

beloved child, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
