Entrance | A Rightful Place

Let us live our lives so that all might see
that our hearts are restless till they rest in thee.
Let us build your kingdom in truth and grace
so that all might know they have a rightful place.

Beauty ever ancient and new,
breaking through our deafness so we hear you.
Shattering the darkness of night,
a new dawn is rising to bring your light
to all the world.

Let us live our lives so that all might see
that our hearts are restless till they rest in thee.
Let us build your kingdom in truth and grace
so that all might know they have a rightful place.

To gather in your presence we came
to be one in spirit, in truth and name;
strengthened by the body of Christ,
taking up the call now to share your light
with all the world.

Let us live our lives so that all might see
that our hearts are restless till they rest in thee.
Let us build your kingdom in truth and grace
so that all might know they have a rightful place.
so that all might know they have a rightful place.
so that all might know they have a rightful place.

A blare of trumpets for the Lord

All you peoples, clap your hands
Shout to God with cries of gladness
For the Lord, the Most High, the awesome

A blare of trumpets for the Lord

Offertory | Holy Spirit, Come Now

Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come now, come now
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come now, come now

Oh, the sweetness of Your mercy and grace
Bring us true wisdom
Right here in this place
Bring a glimmer of the depth of God’s will
Bring understanding
God’s plan be fulfilled

Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come now, come now
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come now, come now

In the faith we share, flowing from truth
Bring us the knowledge
That brings us to You
Through the darkness of despair and of fear
Give us the courage
To know You are here

Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come now, come now
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come now, come now

Communion | Breathe on Me, O Breath of God

O breathe on me, O breath of God
fill me with life anew
that I may love the things You love
and do what You would do

O breathe on me, O breath of God
until my heart is pure
until my will is one with Yours
to do and to endure

Breathe on me
Breathe on me
Breath of God
fill my life with peace again
Breathe on me

O breathe on me, O breath of God
my will to Yours incline
until this selfish part of me
glows with Your fire divine

O breathe on me, O breath of God
so I shall never die
but live with You the perfect life
of Your eternity

Breathe on me
Breathe on me
Breath of God
fill my life with peace again
Breathe on me

Reflection | Strength for the Journey (Duet: Onie & JR)

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 steep 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

There is a cross meant for you to carry
There is a cross meant for you alone
And as you bow down in humble surrender
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
I will be strength for the journey

Repeat

Recession | 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

Repeat

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
We must lay down our lives
We must lay down our lives
