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
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

Preparation of the Gifts | Holy Spirit, Have Your Way
Long after the tears fall
I’m still your child
I put down my defenses
and lay down my pride
Love and forgiveness
flow in deep and wide
So I run to you
and surrender all!
As I lay down my life
And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
In times of trouble,
though trials may come
The rock of ages
is standing strong
I’m fighting battles,
but the war is won
So I’ll run to you
and surrender all
As I lay down my life
And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
More of You and less of me, God
More of You and less of me, God
More of You and less of me, God
More of You overflow—ing
As I lay down my life
And pick up my cross
What a joy it is to give my life away to you
All that I need,
All that I seek
Is You here with me
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
Holy Spirit have Your way in me!
