Gathering | Prepare the Way

Prepare the way
Make straight the path for Him
Let the King of glory enter in
Let the King of glory enter in
Who is this King of Glory?

The Lord, strong and mighty
The Lord, mighty to save
The earth is full of His glory
Let all who call His name
Prepare the way

Let all who call His name
Prepare the way

Preparation of the Gifts | We Are Called to Serve

Called beyond our human understanding
Called before the world came into view
Within your mother’s womb
Your name was known to me
For you did not choose me
No, I chose you

We are called to serve
We are called by grace
To cherish Christ
In ev’ry face
We are called to serve
We are called by name
And in all we are
God’s love proclaim

Communion | You Alone

You alone are holy
You alone are Lord
You alone are worthy
to be honored and adored
Mercy You have given
Kindness You have shown
Love is You alone

Who of us is sinless in this place
Who of us deserves Your saving grace
Who of us is good at all
without Your blessed love that falls
upon our hearts to heal our brokenness

You alone are holy
You alone are Lord
You alone are worthy
to be honored and adored
Mercy You have given
Kindness You have shown
Love is You alone

What is there to do but thank You, then
for the gift that we might call You friend
Greater love has not been known
than that for which you gave your
only Son, that you might see us, pure and blessed

You alone are holy
You alone are Lord
You alone are worthy
to be honored and adored
Mercy You have given
Kindness You have shown
Love is You alone

Closing | Can We Love

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 our lives

It’s more than raising our hands
It’s more than singing this song
It’s saying “yes” to the Giver of life
It’s righting the ways that are wrong

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 our lives
