    Lift High the Cross

    Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

    till all the world adore his sacred name.

     

    Come, Christians, follow where our captain trod,

    our king victorious, Christ, the Son of God. 

     

    Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

    till all the world adore his sacred name.

     

    All newborn servants of the Crucified

    bear on their brows the seal of him who died. 

     

    Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

    till all the world adore his sacred name.

     

    O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,

    as thou hast promised, draw us all to thee. 

     

    Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

    till all the world adore his sacred name.

     

    So shall our song of triumph ever be:

    praise to the Crucified for victory! 

     

    Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

    till all the world adore his sacred name.

    COMMUNION SONG 1:

    At the Cross (Love Ran Red)

     

    There’s a place where mercy reigns and never dies

    There’s a place where streams of grace flow deep and wide

     

    Where all the love I’ve ever found

    Comes like a flood

    Comes flowing down

     

    At the cross, At the cross

    I surrender my life

    I’m in awe of You, I’m in awe of You

    Where Your love ran red

    And my sin washed white

    I owe all to You, I owe all to You, Jesus

     

    There’s a place where sin and shame are powerless

    Where my heart has peace with God

    And forgiveness

     

    Where all the love I’ve ever found

    Comes like a flood

    Comes flowing down

     

    At the cross, At the cross

    I surrender my life

    I’m in awe of You, I’m in awe of You

    Where Your love ran red

    And my sin washed white

    I owe all to You, I owe all to You

     

    Here my hope is found

    Here on holy ground

    Here I bow down

    Here I bow down

    Here arms open wide

    Here You saved my life

    Here I bow down

    Here I bow

     

    (2X)

    At the cross

    At the cross

    I surrender my life

    I’m in awe of You, I’m in awe of You

    Where Your love ran red

    And my sin washed white

    I owe all to You, I owe all to You

    I owe all to You, I owe all to You

    Jesus. Jesus.

    Light Dawns on a Weary World

    Light dawns on a weary world

    when eyes begin to see

    all people's dignity.

    Light dawns on a weary world:

    the promised day of justice comes.

     

    The trees shall clap their hands;

    the dry lands, gush with springs;

    the hills and mountains shall break forth with singing!

    We shall go out in joy,

    and be led forth in peace,

    as all the world in wonder echoes shalom.

     

    Love grows in a weary world

    when hungry hearts find bread

    and children's dreams are fed.

    Love grows in a weary world:

    the promised feast of plenty comes.

    The trees shall clap their hands;

    the dry lands, gush with springs;

    the hills and mountains shall break forth with singing!

    We shall go out in joy,

    and be led forth in peace,

    as all the world in wonder echoes shalom.

     

    Hope blooms in a weary world

    when creatures, once forlorn,

    find wilderness reborn.

    Hope blooms in a weary world:

    the promised green of Eden comes.

     

    The trees shall clap their hands;

    the dry lands, gush with springs;

    the hills and mountains shall break forth with singing!

    We shall go out in joy,

    and be led forth in peace,

    COMMUNION SONG 1:
    Praise You In This Storm

     

    I was sure by now, God,

    You would have reached down

    And wiped our tears away,

    Stepped in and saved the day.

    But once again I say, "Amen" and it's still rainin'

    As the thunder rolls I barely hear

    Your whisper through the rain

    "I'm with you"

    And as Your mercy falls

    I'll raise my hands and praise the God who gives

    And takes away

     

    And I'll praise You in this storm,

    and I will lift my hands

    For You are who You are, no matter where I am

    And every tear I've cried, You hold in Your hand,

    You never left my side, And though my heart is torn

    I will praise You in this storm

     

    I remember when I stumbled in the wind

    You heard my cry, You raised me up again

    But my strength is almost gone,

    How can I carry on

    If I can't find You?

    But as the thunder rolls I barely hear

    Your whisper through the rain

    "I'm with you"

    And as Your mercy falls I'll raise my hands

    and praise the God who gives

    And takes away

    And I'll praise You in this storm,

    And I will lift my hands

    For You are who You are No matter where I am

    And every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand

    You never left my side, And though my heart is torn

    I will praise You in this storm

     

    I lift my eyes unto the hills,

    Where does my help come from?

    My help comes from the Lord,

    The maker of heaven and earth

    I lift my eyes unto the hills,

    Where does my help come from?

    My help comes from the Lord,

    The maker of heaven and earth

     

    And I'll praise You in this storm,

    And I will lift my hands

    For You are who You are No matter where I am

    Every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand

    You never left my side, and though my heart is torn

    I will praise You in this storm

    And though my heart is torn,

    I'll praise You in this storm

    new life the dead receive;

    the mournful broken hearts rejoice,

    the humble poor believe.

    Let Us Break Bread Together

     

    Let us break bread together on our knees;

    let us break bread together on our knees.

     

    When I fall on my knees,

    with my face to the rising sun,

    O Lord, have mercy on me.

     

    Let us drink wine together on our knees;

    let us drink wine together on our knees.

     

    When I fall on my knees,

    with my face to the rising sun,

    O Lord, have mercy on me.

     

    Let us praise God together on our knees;

    COMMUNION SONG 2: ELW466
    In the Singing

     

    In the singing, in the silence,

    in the hands expectant, open,

    in the blessing, in the breaking,

    in your presence at this table,

               

    Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,

    be the wine of grace;

    Jesus, Christ, Jesus Christ,

    be the bread of peace.

     

    In the question, in the answer,

    in the moment of acceptance,

    in the heart's cry, in the healing,

    in the circle of your people,

     

    Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,

    be the wine of grace;

    Jesus, Christ, Jesus Christ,

    be the bread of peace.

    SENDING SONG: ELW 583

    Take My Life, That I May Be

     

    Take my life, that I may be

    consecrated, Lord, to thee;

    take my moments and my days;

    let them flow in ceaseless praise.

     

    Take my hands and let them move

    at the impulse of thy love;

    take my feet and let them be

    swift and beautiful for thee. 

     

    Take my life, that I may be

    consecrated, Lord, to thee;

    take my moments and my days;

    let them flow in ceaseless praise.

     

    Take my silver and my gold,

    not a mite would I withhold;

    take my intellect and use

    ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose.

     

    Take my life, that I may be

    consecrated, Lord, to thee;

    take my moments and my days;

    let them flow in ceaseless praise.

     

    Take my voice and let me sing

    always, only for my King;

    take my lips and let them be

    filled with messages from thee.

     

    Take my life, that I may be

    consecrated, Lord, to thee;

    take my moments and my days;

    let them flow in ceaseless praise.

     

    Take my will and make it thine;

    it shall be no longer mine;

    take my heart, it is thine own;

    it shall be thy royal throne. 

     

    Take my life, that I may be

    consecrated, Lord, to thee;

    take my moments and my days;

    let them flow in ceaseless praise.

    Let us go now to the banquet,

    to the feast of the universe.

    The table's set and a place is waiting;

    come, ev'ryone, with your gifts to share.

     

    I will rise in the early morning;

    the community's waiting for me.

    With a spring in my step I'm walking

    with my friends and my family.

    God invites all the poor and hungry

    to the banquet of justice and good

    where the harvest will not be hoarded

    so that no one will lack for food.

    come, ev'ryone, with your gifts to share.

     

    May we build such a place among us

    where all people are equal in love.

    God has called us to work together

    and to share ev'rything we have. 

     

    Let us go now to the banquet,

    Blessed Assurance

     

    Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

    Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

    Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

    born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

     

    This is my story, this is my song,

    praising my Saviour, all the day long:

    this is my story, this is my song,

    praising my Saviour all the day long.

     

    Perfect submission, perfect delight,

    visions of rapture now burst on my sight;

    angels descending bring from above

    echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

     

    This is my story, this is my song,

    praising my Saviour, all the day long:

    this is my story, this is my song,

    praising my Saviour all the day long.

     

    Perfect submission, all is at rest;

    I in my Saviour am happy and blest,

    watching and waiting, looking above,

    filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

     

    This is my story, this is my song,

    praising my Saviour, all the day long:

    this is my story, this is my song,

    praising my Saviour all the day long.
