Entrance | We Gather In Love

We come to gather in our weakness
to reconnect as seekers
and worship one true God

We come to gather with the broken
whose words may go unspoken
We gather all as one

United in one Spirit
each diff’rent in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love

We come to claim the truth in Jesus
who gave His life to free us
and show us how to love

We come to light our lives on fire
With mercy, we inspire
and gather all as one

United in one Spirit
each diff’rent in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 131 In You, O Lord

R./ In You, O Lord, I have found my peace

O LORD, my heart is not proud,
nor are my eyes haughty;
I busy not myself with great things,
nor with things too sublime for me.

R./ In You, O Lord, I have found my peace

Nay rather, I have stilled and quieted
my soul like a weaned child.
Like a weaned child on its mother’s lap,
so is my soul within me.

R./ In You, O Lord, I have found my peace

O Israel, hope in the LORD,
both now and forever.

R./ In You, O Lord, I have found my peace

Offertory | Better Than a Hallelujah

God loves a lullaby
in a mother’s tears in the dead of night
better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves a drunkard’s cry
the soldier’s plea not to let him die
better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

A woman holding on for life
a dying man giving up the fight
are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

Tears of shame for what’s been done
the silence when the words won’t come
are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing
better than a choir singing out
singing out

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

Reflection | Strength for the Journey (Sung by Dennis & Aiko w/ choir during Refrain)

I will be
I will be
I will be strength for the journey

Repeat

There is a road meant for you to travel
Narrow and deep is the shepherd’s way
and as you say, “Yes”
letting Me guide you
I will be strength for the journey

I will be
I will be
I will be strength for the journey

Repeat

How many times have you doubted My word?
How many times must I call your name?
And as you say, “Yes”
letting Me love you
I will be strength for the journey

I will be
I will be strength for the journey

Repeat
