You put your law within us to guide us; we follow our own maps and steer our own way. You have written your will upon our hearts; we prefer our own scripts. Create clean hearts in us, O God; and put new and right spirits within us, lest we perish on our own. Amen. KYRIE ELEISON (# 572) Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us.

Amen. *DOXOLOGY (#592) Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

HYMN OF PREPARATION/HINO DE PREPARAÇÃO # 92 “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” SCRIPTURE / LEITURAS BÍBLICAS Gospel Lesson / Lição do Evangelho Lição I: John 12:20-33
Donna Fischer
Responsive Psalm of the Day / Salmo do Dia: Psalm 51:1-12 Donna Fischer Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Lesson I / Lição I: Hebrews 5:5-10 SPECIAL MUSIC / MÚSICA ESPECIAL
