OFFERTORY YOU MADE US YOUR OWN Vikki & Steve Cook, Bob Kauflin
We were ruined in our sin We were guilty and undone When your love reached down with sovereign hands And beckoned us to come You sought out the wanderers Made the prodigals come home With a lavish feast you welcomed us For you made us your own (Chorus) You have loved us like you love your Son We are heirs with Christ, bought by his blood Oh how great the love
that we’ve been shown We’re your children now, You made us your own We are strangers to the world But no strangers to your throne We draw near you now with confidence For all our fears are gone
His Forever Revelation Song Jesus My Great High Priest

If you’re new to our church, we want your visit to be worshipful, informative, and comfortable. Along with the worship service, there are many other resources available including Sunday School for nursery through 5th grade, youth ministries, and adult classes. They’re a great way to more intimately find the pulse of who we are as a church and connect with others. Just ask any one of our greeters to direct the way. You can find much more on our website at graceevan.org. We’re glad to have you.
