Joyful | Trading My Sorrows

I’m trading my sorrows
I’m trading my shame
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord

I’m trading my sickness
I’m trading my pain
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord

We say, “Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord. Amen!”

Repeat all then bridge

I’m pressed but not crushed
persecuted not abandoned
struck down but not destroyed

I’m blessed beyond the curse
for His promise will endure
His joy’s gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

We say, “Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord. Amen!”

Entrance | There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy (Be Merciful)

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
like the wideness of the sea
There’s a kindness in God’s justice
which is more than liberty

There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed
There is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head

There is welcome for the sinner
and a promised grace made good
There is mercy with the Savior
There is healing in Christ’s blood

There is grace enough for thousands
of new worlds as great as this
There is room for fresh creations
in that upper home of bliss

Refrain
So be merciful
just as our God is merciful
Be merciful
just as our God is merciful to us

Let there be a wideness in our mercy
Let there be a kindness in our hearts
Oh, may our lives be merciful

Repeat Refrain

Offertory | Love Never Fails

If I speak with the tongues of the earth
if the angels fill my mouth
yet do not have love
I am but a sound

If I prophesy___and understand all things
If mountains shake by my faith
without love, I am nothing at all

Love is patient
love is kind
love rejoices in the truth

It bears all things
believes all things
it hopes all things
endures all things
Love never fails

If I give away everything I own
give my body to be burned
yet do not have love
I gain nothing more

Prophecies will cease
Tongues will be silent
knowledge will be no more
the partial will pass away

Love is patient
love is kind
love rejoices in the truth

It bears all things
believes all things
it hopes all things
endures all things
Love never fails

When I was a child
I talked, thought and lived like a child
But now that I have grown
I have put these things aside

My knowledge is imperfect now
then I’ll know as I am known
that faith, hope, and love remain
and the greatest of these is love

Love is patient
love is kind
love rejoices in the truth

It bears all things
believes all things
it hopes all things
endures all things
Love never fails
