Trading My Sorrows

I’m trading my sorrows
I’m trading my shame
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord

I’m trading my sickness
I’m trading my pain
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord

We say, “Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord. Amen!”

Repeat all then bridge

I’m pressed but not crushed
persecuted not abandoned
struck down but not destroyed

I’m blessed beyond the curse
for His promise will endure
His joy’s gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

We say, “Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord. Amen!”

Communion | Altar of Hope (Be Still)

Quiet your spirit
Open your heart
Draw close and enter
just as you are

All are invited
together with Heaven
and witness the myst’ry
at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

Though earth be shaken
though mountains quake
God is our refuge
where fear fades away

Rest in the silence
and be filled with His peace
as grace overtakes us
at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

We place at the altar
the gifts of ourselves
Our prayers of thanksgiving
together are blessed

With anticipation
in the stillness we wait
Our off’ring returns to
us at the altar of hope

Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

Let us build your kingdom in truth and grace

Beauty ever ancient and new,
breaking through our deafness so we hear you.
Shattering the darkness of night,
a new dawn is rising to bring your light
to all the world.

Let us live our lives so that all might see
that our hearts are restless till they rest in thee.
Let us build your kingdom in truth and grace
so that all might know they have a rightful place.
