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
