Gathering | 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
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

Communion | All We Like Sheep
All we like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us turning our own separate way.
We all have sinned and fallen short of Your glory,
But Your glory is what we desire to see,
And in Your presence is where we long to be.
O Lord, show us Your mercy and grace,
Take us to Your holy place.
Forgive us our sins and heal our land,
We long to live in Your presence once again.
Taking our sickness and taking our pain,
Jesus, the sacrifice, the Lamb has been slain.
He was despised, rejected by men. He took our sin.
Draw us near to You, Father, through Jesus, Your Son,
Let us worship before You, cleansed by Your blood.
