Last Supper
Make space for Passover
So together we may eat
Where is the guest room,
Furnished and complete?
Ask and you’ll find it
The promise will be there fulfilled
Before My flesh is pierced
And My blood is spilled
How I have longed to eat
With you this Passover meal
For I won’t eat it again
Until it is fulfilled
In God’s kingdom;
Its fullness will be there revealed
Bread and wine will, in time,
Point to how you will be healed
Love the Lord Your God
Chorus:
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart and mind,
All your soul and strength
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart and mind,
All your soul and strength
Lay down your life
With your joy and your sorrow
Let your passions not pull you apart
Let Christ be the Master
Of all your emotions
Live your love for God with all your heart
CHORUS
…More than enough
Think of all you've been given
Where another just walks, you have wings
But you won't be complete
Till you give to the needful
This is how you love God with your strength
CHORUS
Good News of Joy
Be not afraid
Be not afraid
Turn in your terror for reverent awe
Be not afraid
Chorus:
This is the good news of joy
This is the good news of joy
This is the good news of great joy for everyone
Good news for everyone
This day is born
This day is born
In David's city your Savior is born
To you is born
CHORUS
Glory, Sang the Angels
Chorus:
Glory, sang the angels,
To God in the heavenly heights
And peace on earth to all those
In whom God delights
In whom God delights!
There they sat in the darkness
Watching over the flocks
Suddenly they were blinded
By reverence and shock
A messenger of the Lord appeared,
With God's own glory ablaze
I bring you good news, so don't be afraid!
I Do Not Know the Man
I had hopes so high
If Messiah dies,
Well then so will i
But I'm bold and weak
Charge and then retreat
I proclaimed Him--
How could I now deny?
Chorus:
Oh, Jesus, forgive me!
Oh, can You forgive me?
Oh, Jesus, forgive me!
Oh, can You forgive me?
You can forgive me
But will You?
Please Forgive Me
Every heart that I've betrayed is mine to answer for
I've been cowardly to not say Who You are
I've been calloused and uncaring when there's nothing in it for me
Please forgive me, Lord
Please forgive me, Lord
……
Yes, I love you, child, completely--
Don't let doubt deceive your heart
I forever spelled it out upon the cross
There I poured My wrath upon the sin that kept us far apart
Yet I also bore that wrath--I paid the cost
For I cannot make you love Me, no I cannot make you trust
But I knock and wait, until you open wide
To receive forgiveness, mercy, life, and rise up from the dust
Be at peace, My child
Be at peace, My child
Hallelujah! Christ is Born!
Long we've lived in darkness; long is the night.
How the powerful betray us
Yet when Messiah comes,
He'll make all things right
Send Your light, o Lord, illuminate us!
CHORUS:
Christ, the Prince of Peace is born.
Christ, the King of Glory
History hinges on this baby boy.
Hallelujah! Christ is born
Strength is given us to shelter the weak.
Wealth for want is Yahweh's story
So when the spring of life pours out, full and free.
Sing hosanna for God's glory!
Forever, You, Lord Are My Shepherd
Forever, You, Lord, are my shepherd
You open Your home;
There's nothing I need
Lifelong, You make me lie down
Contentment and rest
You have a home made for me
Chorus:
Your justice and mercy,
They comfort me; they comfort me.
I fear no evil, no misery,
For You are with me, yes, You are with me
Nothing But Pain
Hopefully some of his sheeple will see
When he hangs in shame, naked, then dead
Honor Rome, please the gods,
But look out for the frauds
Only you will get you daily bread
Chorus:
Oh, it's as plain as the sky and the rain
Oh, when you're weak you've got nothing but pain
When you're weak you've got nothing but pain
See that centurion, face full of doubt?
His privilege is weakening his soul
Mark my words, he's forgetting
The pow'r of bloodletting
Only fools give up any control
Together
God has been at work
Through the ages, 'round the world
At its best, tradition
Is the Spirit's voice, distilled
Let us bless and cherish
What our God has revealed
Let us honor these roots together
Chorus:
Step by step, side by side
We will walk together
Hand in hand, left and right
There is just one body
In our Lord Jesus Christ
We will live as one, together
Isaiah 30:19 (Taizé)
Weep no more, people of God.
He will show you grace when He hears your cry.
He will answer you.
Your affliction will not be in vain.
He is suff’ring with you each and ev’ry day.
He will answer you.
Behold Your God
Glowing clouds of lightning
Quakes of mighty thunder
Our souls expand for what is grand,
To grow with awe and wonder
Varieties of plant and beast
And stars beyond all measure,
Every atom in the universe
Continues at God's pleasure
Chorus:
Behold Your God
Bow and worship
Throw down your crowns
Prostrate at His feet
Rejoice with all creation
He is Lord above all nations
His beauty, pow'r and justice are your song
Behold your God
Goodbye
I know I'm getting on in years
Not many mornings left to go
I don't take any day for granted
Each is a precious gift, I know
But when another falls to shadows
It's time to grieve with those they've known
This plague has made it even harder
We bear our sadness so alone!
Chorus:
For Paradise awaits
All who sleep in You
One day we all will wake
Remade and named anew
But now we mourn,
So give us, Lord,
A chance to laugh and cry
To gather with Your people
And simply say goodbye
Every Bloom
Darkness fell
Like nothing I'd known before
An unexpected war
Cut off my lifelines
Food and song,
Shared with beloved friends,
Came to a crashing end
Now tell me, who am I?
Chorus:
But when we go through the desert lands
You help us see
Every bloom comes from Your hands
Rest in His Faithfulness
Let us take up the mantle
Of those who have suffered before us
Knowing there's no comparing
Our days of disease to their pain
Our afflictions are real
And all that we feel
Is not just imagined distress
But He's promised us joy
So let's rest in His faithfulness
Give Life to Us
We were scattered to survive
Seeds sent underground alive
Will we grow, or will we die
Buried alone?
Is this strange, unknowing dark
Just a grave, or saving ark?
Will we still know who we are
In this new home?
Chorus:
Lord, give life to us, scattered far and wide
With so much uncertain, help us trust You to provide
Lord, give life to us, fill this empty time
Help our roots grow deeper into rivers of Your life
You Are With Me (Psalm 23)
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
Turn (Judas’s Song)
Why am I following this Rabbi ‘cross the land,
When I could be somewhere else?
Perhaps it’s curiosity, telling me
To see it for myself
But as I’m following, I cannot understand
How it really fits together
The targets of His woes and blessings seem to flow,
And change just like the weather;
He changes like the weather
Turn to the words of life eternal,
Learn to trust the Speaker
Search if you must, but cling to
The Voice you heard, and find your healing
Comfort Me No More (Rachel Mourning Her Children)
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
Wow, Hallelujah (Christmas)
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
