When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride
Forbid me Lord that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His blood
See, from His head, His hands, His feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down Did e'er such love and Sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown
Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an offering far too small Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life, my all
Lord Have Mercy
Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom Forgive me for my unbelief Renew the fire again
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me Repeat
I have built an altar where I worship things of men I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing Pardon my transgressions Help me love You again
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me Repeat
I have longed to know You and Your tender mercies Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence Your grace forever shining Like a beacon in the night
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me Repeat
Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy on me Repeat

Sermon Questions:
1. Israel's dreams for the Messiah were too small; wanting salvation from Rome, rather than from sin and death. What roles do we assign to Jesus that are of less value than the treasure he offers?
2. What lessons do we take from the fruitless fig tree (Mark 11:12-14; 20-25)?
3. What fake plastic pearls do you hold too tightly? Are they getting in the way of a greater treasure God has for you?
4. Look once again at Jesus' words about prayer in Mark 11:22-24. Now, look at Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane (Matt. 26:39). How do these passages fit together? How do they inform the way we pray?
