Entrance | Can We Love

Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives

It’s more than raising our hands
It’s more than singing this song
It’s saying “yes” to the Giver of life
It’s righting the ways that are wrong

Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives

It’s more than shouting God’s name
it’s more than singing His praise
It’s bringing forgiveness to injury’s wound
and hope to those imprisoned by shame

Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives

Offertory | In Him Alone

In Him alone is our hope
In Him alone is our strength
In Him alone are we justified
In Him alone are we saved

What have we to offer
That does not fade or wither
Can the world ever satisfy
The emptiness in our hearts
In vain we deny

In Him alone is our hope
In Him alone is our strength
In Him alone are we justified
In Him alone are we saved

When will you cease running
In search of hollow meaning
Let His love feed the hunger
In your soul till it overflows
With joy you yearn to know

In Him alone is our hope
In Him alone is our strength
In Him alone are we justified
In Him alone are we saved

[Modulation]

In Him alone is our hope
In Him alone is our strength
In Him alone are we justified
In Him alone are we saved

Communion | My Life In You

Where can I run and hide from you?
Or could I ever do?
When everywhere I know You’re there
Anywhere You’ll find me.
Where could I go to flee from You?
Or could I ever do?
When Your hands keep holding me,
Guiding me around me

God, I know that You are there
You know who I am and all I do
God, You see me through and through
Take my hand I trust in You
I put my life in You

You know me when I sit or stand
My life is in Your hand
You read my thoughts from far away
In everything You know me
You know me in my darkest hour
You give me strength and pow’r.
You are there beside me
Watching me for always

God, I know that You are there
You know who I am and all I do
God, You see me through and through
Take my hand I trust in You
I put my life in You

For all the wonders that You gave me
For all the marvels that you do
For all of these, I like to thank You
And praise You

God, I know that You are there
You know who I am and all I do
God, You see me through and through
Take my hand I trust in You
I put my life in You
I put___my life___in You

Recessional | Leading Us Home

You are the potter
We are the clay
You are the shepherd
guiding the way
You are the star
that brightens our night
leading us home
leading us home

Repeat with faster tempo and drums

Lord, we belong to You alone
Knowing Your voice
we are Your own
When we wander far
as close as our breath You are

You are the potter
We are the clay
You are the shepherd
guiding the way
You are the star
that brightens our night
leading us home
leading us home
