Gathering | Awake, O Sleeper

In the darkest times of life
when our lights refuse to shine
You are there
You are there

Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Don’t let your hearts be troubled

Awake, O sleeper
Arise from slumber
Christ is calling your name

Preparation | Loving and Forgiving

Loving and forgiving are You, O Lord
slow to anger
rich in kindness
loving and forgiving are You

All my being, bless the Lord
bless the holy name of God
All my being, bless the Lord
rememb’ring the goodness of God

Loving and forgiving are You, O Lord
slow to anger
rich in kindness
loving and forgiving are You

Communion | I Am the Bread of Life

I am the bread of Life
I am the hope in night
I am the door wide open
I am the shepherd’s might
I am the truth and light
I am the way and life
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me

I am bread for the world
hope for the hopeless
Come to me, and know that I’ll always be there
with my arms open wide
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me

I am the bread of Life
I am the hope in night
I am the door wide open
I am the shepherd’s might
I am the truth and light
I am the way and life
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me

I give my heart to those in sorrow
I come to those who are in need
hope for today and for tomorrow
light for all who want to see

I am the bread of Life
I am the hope in night
I am the door wide open
I am the shepherd’s might
I am the truth and light
I am the way and life
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me

Closing | 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
We must lay down
We must lay down our lives
