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 different 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 different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love

[NEW!] Offertory | From the Inside Out

A thousand times I’ve failed
Still, Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still, I’m caught in Your grace

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never-ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul
I give You control
Consume me from the inside out, Lord

Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

Your will, above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never-ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul
I give You control
Consume me from the inside out, Lord

Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord, my soul cries out

In my heart, in my soul
I give You control
Consume me from the inside out, Lord

Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord, my soul cries out
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

Recessional | 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
We must lay down our lives
We must lay down our lives
