We will make our home
Wherever the Lord may lead
Serving Christ alone,
We’ll live as a family 
There is hope in the place of catastrophe,
In what we choose this day 

I am the greatness, it is I upon the throne;
I throw down pretenders, it is I and I alone
I sift out the riff-raff, then I smash them like a stone;
I am the greatness, I and I alone
I am the greatness, I and I alone

Step by step and mile by mile
Bring each woman, man and child
To Your called community,
Singing, faithful, bold, and free

Refrain:
Love divine who for us longs
Make us one in morning song

My soul is full of trouble;
I am pulled towards the grave
On the list of doomed and dying,
Weak, forsaken, like the slain
Whom You pull your hand away from
And forget like faded paths
You have put me in the deepest,
Darkest pit beneath Your wrath

Chorus:
Lord, God of my salvation,
I call both day and night
Allow my prayer before You,
Tilt Your ear to hear my cry

Oh, Lord, You are my Shepherd
You give me all I need
Lay me down in greener pastures
To the still waters lead

Chorus:
You are with me, Lord, You are with me
You are with me, Lord, You are with me

O heartless puppet king, 
You took my children to the grave
But this, my chance to mourn, 
I will not let you steal away

The pow’rful clench their fists
And our prospects start to dim
In grief God meets us mourning,
And each morning we are His

Let weeping fill the streets
Let weeping fill the streets
O comfort me no more
My children are no more

Those who walk in darkness will see a great light
Grace and justice meet; love and truth will unite
Every hope and joy meet in this Child tonight;
Waves of great relief swirl with awe and delight

Refrain:
Wow, hallelujah
Wow, hallelujah
Wow, hallelujah
The King is born!

Powerless, we see in the Lord our true hope
Yet the years pile up since the Almighty spoke
Trust in Him; the fullness of time will unfold
Wait and wait again, He is patient, not slow

The Lord is with you; He won't forsake you
Our God is making all things new
So be courageous; be bold and fearless
What He has promised, He will do
Oh, from His wealth he brings joy;
And from His beauty He gives blessing
In our distress we hear His voice;
The Lord is with You.

So much has been taken from our people
Taken from our families and friends
So how can we believe in new beginnings,
When so much sweet comes to a bitter end?
We will find reminders of redemption,
We will speak and sing the sacred truth
That when the darkness on us has descended
The Light will rise again and lead us through

Refrain:
Rejoice! The Lord has done great things!
Rejoice! The Lord has done great things!
The good news is the hist'ry of the healing that He brings
Rejoice! The Lord has done great things.

Isaiah 64:1-9

Open up the sky, Lord;
Show the world Your power.
May Your presence leave
The nations trembling
You are like no other,
Awe-inspiring Father,
We beg for Your mercy;
Turn away from all our sin

Refrain:
Lord, You are waiting for our repentance.
You hold back the justice of Your wrath.
Your love is patient, longing that we turn and confess
And find forgiveness in Your mercy's path.
