Gathering | Everlasting God
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord
we will wait upon the Lord
Our God, You reign forever
Our Hope, our strong Deliverer
You are the Everlasting God, the Everlasting God
You do not faint
You won’t grow weary
You’re the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles
Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 1 Blessed Are They Who Hope in the Lord
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
R./ Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked,
nor walks in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the company of the insolent,
but delights in the law of the LORD and meditates on his law day and night.
R./ Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
He is like a tree planted near running water,
that yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers.
R./ Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Not so the wicked, not so;
they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
For the LORD watches over the way of the just,
but the way of the wicked vanishes.
R./ Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
Preparation of the Gifts | Better Than a Hallelujah
God loves a lullaby
in a mother’s tears in the dead of night
better than a Hallelujah sometimes
God loves a drunkard’s cry
the soldier’s plea not to let him die
better than a Hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah
A woman holding on for life
a dying man giving up the fight
are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
Tears of shame for what’s been done
the silence when the words won’t come
are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah
Better than a church bell ringing
better than a choir singing out
singing out
We pour out our miseries
God just hears the melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah
Communion | Lord, I Need You
Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You
I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart
Lord, I need You
Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sins runs deep
Your grace is more
Where grace is found
Is where You are
Where You are
Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need You
Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Teach my song to rise to You
when temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand, I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay
Lord, I need You
Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Lord, I need You
Oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
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
Tag: All creation will rise
to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord
