A 

Anthem                        
To forgive as we are forgiven.
To show mercy as we have been shown.
To be just in every decision
To choose God's ways above our own.

Chorus:
"To do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with our God.
To speak truth in love, receive it,
Build one another up.
To guide seeking hearts to Jesus and rejoice as they are found.

To love without condition. 
To do as Jesus has done.
To trust without limitation. 
To labor together as one. 

"We place our hope in God   and His Son.
Holy Peace and Power moves among us.

Beautiful Mystery

Son of God,  Son of Man
Holy One,  You are I AM

Prince of Peace,  Mighty God
You are Lion,  You are Lamb
         
You are Mystery Divine
I praise You,  I fear You,  I love You
You are Beauty Undefined
I tremble,  I fall down
I worship only You,  I worship only You

King of Kings,  First and Last
You are Judge,  You are Friend

Behold Christ Jesus!


What has been revealed is more than we can hold - Behold Christ Jesus!
The very Word of God formed into flesh - Behold Christ Jesus!
No one has seen God's face, the fullness of God's glory, the fullness of God's grace (2x)

Behold Christ Jesus
Who is the Word, Who was with God, and Who is God.
Behold Christ Jesus
In Him is life, He is the Light of men.

In the darkness shines, the True Light - Behold Christ Jesus!
And how great the Light that has come to us - Behold Christ Jesus
And to all who will receive and in His name believe
He gives the right to become children of God!

Behold Christ Jesus
Begotten Son, Who has seen God, Who has made Him known
Behold Christ Jesus
In Him is life, He is the Light of men.

Bring Joy, Have Hope, Give Love

Who are you?  Golden hair, hazel eyes?
You are beautiful and wild.

You are you.  You're wonderful, you know you are
And my prayer for you is to always know its true.
       
There are a lot of things wrong in this world,
but you can always feel right and safe inside.

Sing your song, and dance for us - you make us smile.
Dance gracefully, sing with joy.

There are a lot of things to frown about,
but you can always have hope for change.
                               
Show your light, be generous with your love,
I promise you, you'll not run dry.

There are a lot of people alone in this world,        
but you can always bring joy, have hope, give love.

A Communion Song

   
Chorus:
Together we remember
and celebrate, we celebrate
Your perfect gift of Love. (x2)

Your body broken,
Your blood poured out.
You loved us to Your death.
And won our freedom, peace, and healing,
For the grave could not hold You!

Now, You are seated with God, the Father.
You’ve sent us The Spirit, He is our Power.
And together we watch,
Together we wait
For the return of the King!

Together we watch, together we wait . . .

Daughter, Arise

believe me, she's only sleeping.
believe me.
all that you dread, is but a dream.
believe me, she's only sleeping.
believe me.

believe me, you’re only sleeping.
believe me.
all that you dread, is but a dream.
believe me, you’re only sleeping.
believe me.

with my touch, i attend to her hidden heart
with my words, I will raise her up
      
"daughter. my daughter rise up."
"rise up."

Ever Before Me

Shout for joy, O heavens.  Rejoice, O earth!
Burst into song, O mountains,
For the Lord comforts His people,
and will have compassion on His afflicted ones!

Do not say, “I’m forsaken”, that “The Lord’s forgotten me!”
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child that she has born?
Though she may forget, I will not forget you.

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.
Your walls are ever before me
How could I ever forget?

I say to the captives, “Come out”
To the ones in darkness, “Be seen”
Because I have heard you, because I have helped you,
You will never hunger, and you will never thirst,
For my faithfulness will be proved in you.

See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.
Your walls are ever before me
How could I ever forget?

Great Mercy

Over and over, and over, and over again
You lift up our heads.
You reach out Your hand as we’re sinking in.

Over and over, and over, and over again
You get our attention,
make a connection, invite us in.

You won’t keep silent.
You move, You breath, You speak.

You keep no distance.
You come, You wait, You meet.

And its not because we’re good,
But because of Your Great Mercy . . . Mercy.

Lord Goes Before You, The

You are surrounded on every side
Your heart is pounding - “This could surely take your life”.
There are giants, strong towers, evil doers, and dark powers.
There are weapons formed against you.
Things your eyes see can too easily strike the heart.

Take a deep breath, hold tight the Arm
That set the slave free, preserved from harm -
Through the water, through the desert, through the wandering, and the waiting,
Through the grumbling and complaining -
Turn your heart toward your Hope and your Lord!

The Lord, Your God, goes before you!
Take Him at His word, the battle is won.
The Lord, Your God, has carried you to
The promised land, He promised you.

Enter boldly, enter bravely.
Your foes are trembling at His name!
Evil doers, giants, and towers melt before Him,
and dark powers with their weapons formed against you,
They will not stand, for your God is in this land!

The Lord, Your God, goes before you!
Take Him at His word, the battle is won.
The Lord, Your God, has carried you to
The promised land, He promised you.

Take God at His word -
Though hearts of men will fail,
You are His chosen ones, the battle belongs to Him.

Take heart in God alone,
And His unfailing love.
You are His chosen ones.
The battle is already won. 

The Lord is My Shepherd

Make Us Ready

Spirit, You are with us, upon us, within us.
Spirit, move among us, make us ready, make us ready.

Spirit, You are with us, upon us, within us.
Spirit, move among us, make us ready, make us ready.

Chorus:
And You will move, and we won’t miss it.
We’ll be a vessel of greatest treasure.
And when You speak, we will listen,
And know the thoughts of our Creator
and be transformed.

Spirit, come, lay claim on us,
Rein in the wanderings of our hearts.
If we desire to follow You, we must let You lead!

Spirit, You are in us, use us for Your Glory!
Spirit, speak truth through us, to the lost and unknown ones!

You Are Light
