Gathering | Altar of Hope/Be Still
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
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

Reflection | Hosea (Come Back to Me)
Come back to me
with all your heart
Don’t let fear
keep us apart
Trees do bend
though straight and tall
so must we
to others’ call
Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living
deeply a new life
The wilderness
will lead you
to your heart
where I will speak
Integrity
and justice
with tenderness
you shall know
Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living
deeply a new life
You shall sleep
secure with peace
faithfulness
will be your joy
Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living
deeply a new life
There is no Closing Hymn for Lent.
