Gathering | 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

Let me never be put to shame
In Your justice
rescue me and deliver me

On You I depend from birth
from my mother’s womb You are my strength

My mouth shall declare
Your justice day by day

You have taught me from my youth
and till the present I proclaim Your wondrous deeds

I will sing of Your salvation

Closing | There’s A Wideness In God’s Mercy
There is 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
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
O___may our lives be merciful
