Gathering | Everlasting God

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord

Our God, You reign forever
Our Hope, our strong Deliverer

You are the Everlasting God, the Everlasting God
You do not faint
You won’t grow weary
You’re the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

Repeat all

The Lord hears the cry of the poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor

R./ The Lord hears the cry of the poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor

I will bless the Lord at all times
His praise shall be in my mouth
Let my soul glory in the Lord
the lowly will hear and be glad

R./ The Lord hears the cry of the poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor

The Lord confronts the evil ones
destroys remembrance of them

The just will cry and the Lord will hear
and save them from all their distress

R./ The Lord hears the cry of the poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor

The Lord is close to broken hearts
saving those crushed in spirit
The Lord redeems His servants’ lives
all those who take refuge in Him

R./ The Lord hears the cry of the poor
The Lord hears the cry of the poor

Preparation | Better Than a Hallelujah

God loves a lullaby
in a mother’s tears in the dead of night
better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves a drunkard’s cry
the soldier’s plea not to let him die
better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

A woman holding on for life
a dying man giving up the fight
are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

Tears of shame for what’s been done
the silence when the words won’t come
are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing
better than a choir singing out
singing out

We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

Communion | Lord, I Need You

Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You
I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need You
Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Where sins runs deep
Your grace is more
Where grace is found
Is where You are
Where You are
Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need You
Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Teach my song to rise to You
when temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand, I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay

Lord, I need You
Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Lord, I need You
Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Closing | In the Day of the Lord

In the day of the Lord
the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day
All creation will rise
to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord

And on that day will justice triumph
On that day will all be free
free from want
free from fear
free to live

In the day of the Lord
the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day
All creation will rise
to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord

Then shall the nations throng together
to the mountain of the Lord
they shall walk___in the light___of the Lord

In the day of the Lord
the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day
All creation will rise
to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord
