Gathering | Awake, O Sleeper
In the darkest times of life
when our lights refuse to shine
You are there
You are there
When our hearts become like stone
when we live without hope
You are there
You are there
Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Refrain
Awake, O sleeper
Arise from slumber
Christ is calling your name
In the midst of life’s decay
when our lives become like graves
rescue us
rescue us
Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Refrain (x2)

You are my inheritance, O Lord!
R./ You are my inheritance, O Lord!
O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
you it is who hold fast my lot.
I set the LORD ever before me;
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
R./ You are my inheritance, O Lord!
Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,
my body, too, abides in confidence;
because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,
nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.
R./ You are my inheritance, O Lord!
You will show me the path to life,
fullness of joys in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever.
R./ You are my inheritance, O Lord!

Communion | While I Wait
Deep within my heart, I know You’ve won
I know You’ve overcome
And even in the dark, when I’m undone
I still believe it
I live by faith, and not by sight
Sometimes miracles take time
While I wait, I will worship
Lord, I’ll worship Your name
While I wait, I will trust You
Lord, I’ll trust You all the same
When I fall apart, You are my strength
Help me not forget
Seeing every scar, You make me whole
You’re my healer
I live by faith, and not by sight
Sometimes miracles take time
I live by faith, and not by sight
Sometimes miracles take time
While I wait, I will worship
Lord, I’ll worship Your name
While I wait, I will trust You
Lord, I’ll trust You all the same
You’re faithful every day
Your promises remain
You’re faithful every day
Your promises remain
You’re faithful every day
Your promises remain
You’re faithful every day
Your promises remain
Though I don’t understand it
I will worship with my pain
You are God, You are worthy
You are with me all the way
So while I wait, I will worship
Lord, I’ll worship Your name
Though I don’t have all the answers
Still I trust You all the same
Closing | In the Day of the Lord
In the day of the Lord
the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day
All creation will rise
to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord
And on that day will justice triumph
On that day will all be free
free from want
free from fear
free to live
In the day of the Lord
the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day
All creation will rise
to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord
All creation will rise
to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord
