Preparation of the Gifts | Love One Another
[Start at 1:52]
O give thanks to the Lord
his goodness is endless
Give thanks to the Lord for his steadfast love
May that love dwell within you
deep in your hearts
May his blessings rain down on your days
Love one another as I have loved you
Bear with each other and always be true
Live for each other in unity and strength
Give to each other the gift of God’s grace

Closing | Can We Love
It’s more than shouting God’s name
It’s more than singing His praise
It’s bringing forgiveness to injury’s wound
and hope to those imprisoned by shame
Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down
We must lay down
We must lay down
our lives
