Gathering | We Gather In Love
We come to gather in our weakness
to reconnect as seekers
and worship one true God
We come to gather with the broken
whose words may go unspoken
We gather all as one
United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
We come to claim the truth in Jesus
who gave His life to free us
and show us how to love
We come to light our lives on fire
With mercy, we inspire
and gather all as one
United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
We gather in love

Preparation | Remain In Me, I Am the Vine
Remain in me
I am the vine
Remain in me
You shall have life
You are the branches
Bear fruit for all to see
I am the vine

No branch can live without the tree
Nor grow or serve apart from me

My love in you, your joy complete
Remain in me

No longer slaves, I call you friends
I shall be with you to the end
Keep my commandments
I dwell in you
So, now bear witness to the truth
Remain in me
I am the vine
Remain in me
You shall have life
You are the branches
Bear fruit for all to see
I am the vine
Remain in me
As I have done so you should do
So as to love as I love you
For in your witness, my love is shown
In simple ways, my heart made known
Remain in me
I am the vine
Remain in me
You shall have life
You are the branches
Bear fruit for all to see
I am the vine
Remain in me
Communion | You Stand Knocking
You spoke my name
and took my hand
and called me friend
Such faithful love
so undeserved
a heart transformed
Though I wandered and have strayed
still Your mercy reigns
You were broken___for me
arms wide open on a tree
You stand knocking at the door
off’ring all I’m hoping for
To those in dark
the Lord cries out
“Come and be saved”
A long the way
we shall find rest
the Lord is good
For God comforts well His own
We are His alone
You were broken___for me
arms wide open on a tree
You stand knocking at the door
off’ring all I’m hoping for
You were broken___for me
arms wide open on a tree
You stand knocking at the door
off’ring all I’m hoping for
Closing | We Are Your Love
We are Your hands, Your hands
reaching out with mercy
We are Your voice, Your voice
speaking words of freedom
Light in the dark for all to see
life-giving water for the thirsty
we are Your body
we are Your love
we are Your presence
Where You lead us
we will follow
and where You send us we shall go
With hearts wide open
we bring Your loving presence
Your light shall lead us as we go
Each step we take brings Your mercy
Each move we make brings Your love
We are Your hands, Your hands
reaching out with mercy
We are Your voice, Your voice
speaking words of freedom
Light in the dark for all to see
life-giving water for the thirsty
we are Your body
we are Your love
we are Your presence
