We Will remember

Hear This

Hear this all who live / Come heavy come helpless receive what sorrow gives / Hear this all who live / Come gather together this story is ours / All we see is devastation like never before / For the love of generations we must tell them how we mourn / Hear this all who live / Come heavy come helpless receive what sorrow gives / Hear this all who live / Come gather together this story is ours / Over mountains they’re descending on numberless wings / In their darkness, we are defenseless the locust leave us suffering / Hear this all who live / Come heavy come helpless receive what sorrow gives / Hear this all who live / Come gather together this story is ours / Before them a garden sweet like Eden / Behind them a dry desert waste / The locusts will cut down like fire / The earth shakes so wake up and wail, for nothing escapes

Cry Out To You

The leaves have dried up. The earth is aching / There is no water for the roots / The ground is grieving / No food for taking / And I am withering too. I am withering too / There is nothing, there is nothing. there is nothing I can do, but cry out to you / The strongest fire is only measured / By what it takes away / Fierce like a lion, showing no mercy / Loss comes as quiet as a thief. Help my eyes to see / / There is nothing, there is nothing. there is nothing I can do, but cry out to you / For this is how it is and not how it should be / Why have you left me here in the between / Beneath the starless sky, this river has run dry / Give me the tears that I can’t seem to find / There is nothing, there is nothing. there is nothing I can do, but cry out to you

Because You Are

I am because you are / Because you are I am / When there are no words, you speak for me / When my eyes grow tired, you help me see / When it feels like I have lost everything / It is you my God, who defines me / I am because you are / Because you are I am / When there is no light, but a fire that breathes / I forsake the ground and fall trembling / With no place to hide, forced a refugee / It is you my God, who defines me / Hear our cry, while we gather, we gather / We are one, because we gather, we gather / I am because you are / Because you are I am

I Cannot Know You

Burdened by our isolation / One by one we come to find / We’re barely breathing holding on to life / Stop and listen hear the whisper / Rest and wait for love to guide / To walk forward we must look behind / I cannot know you / I cannot know all of you / I cannot know you, oh God, by myself / Come and help me set the table / God prepared this holy ground / To our desolation we are bound / When we gather in God’s presence / Living out loves mystery / Here we find our true identity / I cannot know you / I cannot know all of you / I cannot know you, oh God, by myself / The good life comes in our belonging / Crying out with those who mourn / Love draws us together to be restored / I cannot know you / I cannot know all of you / I cannot know you, oh God, by myself

Remember And Proclaim

Do you remember the valley you walked through / Heaven and earth gathered to bring you home, to bring you home / The mountains reached down to rivers that fed you / Both from my hand to show you are not alone, you are not alone / Remember and proclaim / Remember and proclaim / Do you remember how I first loved you / Called you by name holding you in my arms, I held you in my arms / Now even more, come hungry and mourning / Return to me, come ready to rend your heart, to rend your heart / Remember and proclaim / Remember and proclaim / God you are gracious, full of compassion / Slow to show anger, abounding in love and truth / God you are gracious, full of compassion / Help us remember as we follow you / God you are gracious, full of compassion / Slow to show anger, abounding in love and truth / God you are gracious, full of compassion / Help us remember as we follow you / Remember and proclaim / Remember and proclaim / Come to the table / Remember and proclaim / Remember and proclaim

I Am Not Alone. Joel 2:18-27 – 126 – G

I’ve never seen the earth turn this dry and weary/These cracks beneath my feet resemble my heart / My thirst for rain is a burden I cannot carry/ This ritual of shame tears my world apart/ I am not alone/ You are the desert you are the storm/ I am not alone/ You are the promise you will restore/ I am not alone/ Moment to moment I live hoping to be known/ These days, from where I stand, move painfully slow/ You God of time know the cries of all your children/ You ache while we try to make this world our home / I am not alone/ You are the desert you are the storm/ I am not alone/ You are the promise you will restore / I am not alone / You will send the rains / Never again will I be shamed / I know you will repay all the years the locusts have taken / I am not alone/ You are the desert you are the storm/ I am not alone/ You are the promise you will restore / I am not alone

Pour Your Spirit Out

Open handed this my hope / Lord pour your spirit out / No life in these dry, dry bones / Lord please pour your spirit out / In the prison of the past / Lord pour your spirit out / Chains of fear they hold me fast / Lord pour your spirit out / Lord please pour your spirit out / All I need is you / All I need is you / When I keep on asking why / Lord pour your spirit out / Let me now be satisfied / Lord pour your spirit out / Lord please pour your spirit out / All I need is you / All I need is you / As we sing and praise your name / Lord pour your spirit out / Help us breathe your blessing in / Lord pour your spirit out / Lord please pour your spirit out / All we need is you / All we need is you / All we need is you / All we need is you

Dwelling Place

Wonders in the heavens, wonders on the earth / Come display your greatness while our darkness turns / By your hand we will see your wondrous majesty / Oh my God, there is no God but thee / All will praise your name / All who call out will be saved / All will praise your name / God be still our dwelling place / When your spirit pours out, you are glorified / All your sons and daughters, we will prophesy / Old men dreaming new dreams, your visions we will sing / Oh my God, this is our story / All will praise your name / All who call out will be saved / All will praise your name / God be still our dwelling place / Our hearts ache to find a home in this chaos and upheaval / Only by your mercy Lord, will we learn we are your people / Deliver us / I am your God. You are my people / All will praise your name. All who call out will be saved / All will praise your name. God be still our dwelling place

Deeper Well

What do I do when I do what I want to? / What do I want when I want what I want? / Help me see that the way that I’m living / Don’t hurt just me, I’m hurting you too, hurting you too / Where do I turn when my heart gets lonely? / And I am afraid no one’s coming for me / Ain’t got no friends cause I sold them for silver / I keep on blaming everybody but me, everybody but me / Rain your mercy / I am thirsty / Rain your mercy / I need to drink from a deeper well / In those days when you’re fixing what’s broken / And when you gather your people to you / Oh will I stand with my sisters and brothers / Or go it alone, the way that I do, the way that I do / Rain your mercy / I am thirsty / Rain your mercy / I need to drink from a deeper well / Flowing from the highest mountain to the valley floor below / May your judgment and your mercy lead me where I need to go / Like this valley flow into me let every dry place in me grow / May my life Lord be a blessing, fill me up, to overflow / Rain your mercy / I am thirsty / Rain your mercy / I need to drink from a deeper well

Send Me

Break my heart for what breaks yours may I be moved like you / Renew my mind and heal these eyes to see my world the way you do / Break my heart for what breaks yours all who are left alone / Your sons enslaved by wealth and power / Your daughters stolen, traded and sold / Send me, to the refugees and strangers / Send me, to the powerless and poor / Send me, in the strength of your compassion / Move me into action, oh Lord / Break my heart for what breaks yours chase out my fear with love / Teach me this song of hope and justice / Let it be upon the earth as in heaven up above / Send me, to the refugees and strangers / Send me, to the powerless and poor / Send me, in the strength of your compassion / Move me into action, oh Lord / O to grace how great a debtor I am constrained to be / Let thy goodness, like a fetter bind my heart to thee / Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it to leave the one I love / Here’s my heart, O take and seal it for thy courts above / Send me, to the refugees and strangers / Send me, to the powerless and the poor / Send me, in the strength of your compassion / Move me into action, oh Lord / Teach me this song of hope and justice / Let it be upon the earth as in heaven up above

The River

You came to me when I was a stranger / A wayward soul so lost and afraid / But you know every hurt I have and where I wander / You catch every tear; hear every word I pray / You've taken bread and fed the five thousand / You healed one man through the faith of a few / To every blind and broken soul you offer a home / Cause no one is a stranger to you / You say come to the river already flowing / From your house up on that holy hill / You invite us to this bless-ed restoration / Only you and your love can fulfill / This water rolls down mountains into valleys / And into streams that make this city breathe / From your abundance we can flow like the blessings we know / The more we give, the more we receive / You say come to the river already flowing / From your house up on that holy hill / You invite us to this bless-ed restoration / Only you and your love can fulfill / Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we have found our hope in you / Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we have found our hope in you / Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we have found our hope in you / You say come to the river already flowing / From your house up on that holy hill / You invite us to this bless-ed restoration / Only you and your love can fulfill

We Will Remember – 98 - C

In that day the mountains will drip new wine / In that day your fountain will flow from high / And the land will be restored / And the generations will lift their voice / We are here to declare your goodness / Mercy and love, your promise / You will not leave us, you will not let us go / We are here to retell the story / Of living hope and glory / Praise to the Father, the Spirit and the Son / We are here to declare your goodness / Mercy and love, your promise / You will not leave us, you will not let us go / We are here to retell the story / Of living hope and glory / Praise to the Father, the Spirit and the Son / We will remember, we will remember / We will remember, the goodness of you God / We will remember, we will remember / We will remember, the goodness of you God
