Only this I want
But to know the Lord
And to bear His cross
So to wear the crown He wore

Only this I want
But to know the Lord
And to bear His cross
So to wear the crown He wore

Communion | Above All
Above all powers
above all kings
above all nature
and all created things
Above all wisdom
and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms
above all thrones
above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth
and treasures of the earth

Crucified, laid behind the stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall
and thought of me
above all
Recessional | Give Thanks
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given
Jesus Christ, His Son
Do not repeat
And now, let the weak say, “I am strong”
let the poor say, “I am rich”
because of what the Lord has done for us
We come to gather in our weakness
to reconnect as seekers
and worship one true God
We come to gather with the broken
whose words may go unspoken
We gather all as one
United in one Spirit
each diff’rent in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
We come to claim the truth in Jesus
who gave His life to free us
and show us how to love
We come to light our lives on fire
With mercy, we inspire
and gather all as one
United in one Spirit
each diff’rent in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 131 In You, O Lord
R./ In You, O Lord, I have found my peace
O LORD, my heart is not proud,
nor are my eyes haughty;
I busy not myself with great things,
nor with things too sublime for me.
R./ In You, O Lord, I have found my peace
Nay rather, I have stilled and quieted
my soul like a weaned child.
Like a weaned child on its mother’s lap,
so is my soul within me.
R./ In You, O Lord, I have found my peace
O Israel, hope in the LORD,
both now and forever.
R./ In You, O Lord, I have found my peace
Offertory | 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

Recessional | 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
