Preparation | Only This I Want
Only this I want
but to know the Lord
and to bear His cross
so to wear the crown He wore
All but this is loss
worthless refuse to me
for to gain the Lord
is to gain___all I need
Only this I want
but to know the Lord
and to bear His cross
so to wear the crown He wore
I will run the race
I will fight the good fight
so to win the prize
of the Kingdom___of my Lord
Only this I want
but to know the Lord
and to bear His cross
so to wear the crown He wore
Let your heart be glad
always glad in the Lord
so to shine like stars
in the darkness of the night
Only this I want
but to know the Lord
and to bear His cross
so to wear the crown He wore
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
Closing | A Rightful Place
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.
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.
