* OPENING SONG
Goodness of God | Ben Fielding, Brian Johnson, Ed Cash, Jason Ingram & Jenn Johnson
I love You Lord Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up Until I lay
my head I will sing of the Goodness of God
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the Goodness of God
I love Your voice You have led me through the fire
In darkest nights You are close like no other
I've known you as a father
I've known you as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the Goodness of God
Your goodness is running after It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after It’s running after me
With my life laid down I’m surrendered now
I give You everything Your goodness is running after It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after It’s running after me
With my life laid down I’m surrendered now
I give You everything Your goodness is running after It’s running after me
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the Goodness of God
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
I will sing of the goodness of God

SONGS OF WORSHIP
Butterfly Song
| Brian M. Howard
If I were a butterfly
I'd thank you Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in a tree
I'd thank you Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in the sea
I'd wiggle my tail and I'd giggle with glee
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were an elephant
I'd thank you Lord by raising my trunk
If I were a kangaroo
you know I'd hop right up to you
If I were an octopus
I'd thank you Lord for my fine looks
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were a wiggly worm
I'd thank you Lord that I could squirm
If I were a fuzzy, wuzzy bear
I'd thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair
If I were a crocodile I'd thank you Lord for my great smile
But I just thank you Father for making me, me

Jesus Loves Me / Good Good Father
Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong they are weak but he is strong.
You’re a good good father; who you are, who you are, who you are
And I’m loved by you; who I am, who I am, Who I am
Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong they are weak but he is strong.
You’re a good good father; who you are, who you are, who you are
And I’m loved by you; who I am, who I am, Who I am
You are perfect in all of Your ways,
you are perfect in all of Your ways,
you are perfect in all of Your ways to us.
You’re a good good father; who you are, who you are, who you are
And I’m loved by you; who I am, who I am, Who I am
Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong they are weak but he is strong.
Yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me,
Yes Jesus loves me, the bible tells me so.

THE CALLING OF THE CREATURES
| By Ian W. Riddell
Come hoof and trunk and tail and horn
and paw and wing and claw;
Come bird and reptile, mammal born
all full of nature’s law.
Bring bark and crow and ribbit, too
and silent stare and hiss;
Bring purr and trill and warble, too
and voice no ear can miss.
We gather here each life and all
to celebrate and sing
to honor creature large and small
’Tis holiness we bring.
SCRIPTURE
Genesis 1:20-31
|
Common English Bible
20 God said, “Let the waters swarm with living things, and let birds fly above the earth up in the dome of the sky.” 21 God created the great sea animals and all the tiny living things that swarm in the waters, each according to its kind, and all the winged birds, each according to its kind. God saw how good it was. 22 Then God blessed them: “Be fertile and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
23 There was evening and there was morning: the fifth day.
24 God said, “Let the earth produce every kind of living thing: livestock, crawling things, and wildlife.” And that’s what happened. 25 God made every kind of wildlife, every kind of livestock, and every kind of creature that crawls on the ground. God saw how good it was. 26 Then God said, “Let us make humanity in our image to resemble us so that they may take charge of the fish of the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and all the crawling things on earth.”
27 God created humanity in God’s own image,
in the divine image God created them,
male and female God created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and master it. Take charge of the fish of the sea, the birds in the sky, and everything crawling on the ground.” 29 Then God said, “I now give to you all the plants on the earth that yield seeds and all the trees whose fruit produces its seeds within it. These will be your food. 30 To all wildlife, to all the birds in the sky, and to everything crawling on the ground—to everything that breathes—I give all the green grasses for food.” And that’s what happened. 31 God saw everything he had made: it was supremely good.
There was evening and there was morning: the sixth day.
These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God
