[Chorus]
Though the mountains may fall and the hills turn to dust
Yet the love of the Lord will stand
As a shelter for all who will call on His name
Sing the praise and the glory of God
[Verse 1]
Could the Lord ever leave you?
Could the Lord forget his love?
Though a mother forsake her child, He will not abandon you
[Chorus]
Though the mountains may fall and the hills turn to dust
Yet the love of the Lord will stand
As a shelter for all who will call on his name
Sing the praise and the glory of God
[Verse 2]
Should you turn and forsake Him
He will gently call your name
Should you wander away from Him
He will always take you back
[Chorus]
Though the mountains may fall and the hills turn to dust
Yet the love of the Lord will stand
As a shelter for all who will call on his name
Sing the praise and the glory of God
[Verse 3]
As He swore to your fathers
When the flood destroyed the land
He will never forsake you
He will swear to you again
[Chorus]
Though the mountains may fall and the hills turn to dust
Yet the love of the Lord will stand
As a shelter for all who will call on his name
Sing the praise and the glory of God

In the pasture of the wilderness it flows. (Refrain)

I will hold the Christ-light for you in the night-time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping; when you laugh I’ll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow ‘til we’ve seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven we shall find such harmony,
Born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony.

Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord. And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace. Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness only light, And where there’s sadness ever joy.
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand. To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
In giving to all men that we receive and in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Help then, O Lord, our unbelief, and may our faith abound;
To call on you when you are near, and seek where you are found.
That when our life of faith is done, in realms of clearer light.
We may behold you as you are in full and endless sight.
We walk by faith, and not by sight; no gracious words we hear.
Of him who spoke as none e'er spoke, but we believe him near.

My soul cries out with a joyful shout that the God of my heart is great,
And my spirit sings of the wondrous things that you bring to the ones who wait.
You fixed your sight on your servant’s plight, and my weakness you did not spurn,
So from east to west shall my name be blessed. Could the world be about to turn?
My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn.
Though I am small, my God, my all, you work great things in me,
And your mercy will last from the depths of the past to the end of the age to be.
Your very name puts the proud to shame, and to those who would for you yearn,
You will show your might, put the strong to flight, for the world is about to turn. (Refrain)
From the halls of power to the fortress tower, not a stone will be left on stone.

Though the nations rage from age to age, we remember who holds us fast:

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight
Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning

O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King, and peace to all on earth!
How silently, how silently, the wondrous Gift is giv’n;
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His Heav’n.

Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy,

The glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders, of His love.

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping?

Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary.
Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the Babe, the Son of Mary.
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him.

1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid.
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining;
low lies his head with the beasts of the stall.
Angels adore him in slumber reclining,
maker and monarch and Savior of all.
3 Shall we yield him in costly devotion
rarest of fragrances, tribute divine,
gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favor secure.
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid.
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,

Chorus:
My love, my pride, my treasure, O
My wonder new and pleasure, O
My son, my beauty, ever You
Who am I to bear You here?
The cause of talk and tale am I
The cause of greatest fame am I
The cause of proudest care on high
To have for mine, the king of all
And though You are the king of all
They sent You to the manger stall
Where at Your feet they all shall fall
And glorify my child the king
There shone a star above three kings,
To guide them to the king of kings.
They held You in their humble arms
And knelt before You until dawn.
They gave You myrrh they gave You gold
Frankincense and gifts untold
They traveled far these gifts to bring,
And glorify their newborn king.

I Am for You

There is a mountain, there is a sea.
There is a wind within all breathing.
There is an arm to break every chain.
There is a fire in all things living.
There is a voice that speaks from the flame:
I Am for You, I Am for You,
I Am for You is my name.
There was a woman, small as a star,
Full of the patient dreams of her nation,
Welcoming in an angel of God,
Welcoming in God’s bold invitation.
Let it be done, she sang, unto me:
I am for you, I am for you!
I am for you: let it be!
There was a man who walked in the storm,
Caught in between the waves and the lightning,
Sharing his bread with those cast aside,
Healing by touch the lost and the dying.
Sending us forth he says to his friends:
I am for you, I am for you,
I am for you to the end.
We are anointed servants of God.
We have been born again of spirit.
We are the word God speaks to the world,
Freedom and light to all who will hear it.
So let us be the word of the Lord:
I am for you, I am for you,
I am for you ever more.
There is a world that waits in the womb.
There is a hope unborn God is bearing.
Though the powers of death prowl the night,
There is a day our God is preparing.
Sing ‘round the fire to waken the dawn:
I am for you, I am for you!
I am for you: we are one!

If all our world is ashes, then must our lives be true,
An offering of ashes, an offering to you.
We offer you our failures, we offer you attempts,
The gifts not fully given, the dreams not fully dreamt.
Give our stumblings direction; give our visions wider view,
An offering of ashes, an offering to You.
Then rise again from ashes; let healing come to pain,
Though spring has turned to winter, and sunshine turned to rain.
The rain we’ll use for growing, and create a world anew
From an offering of ashes, an offering to You.

02:44

Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live;
A place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace;
Here the love of Christ shall end divisions;
All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
Let us build a house where prophets speak, and words are strong and true;
Where all God's children dare to seek to dream God's reign anew.
Here the cross shall stand as witness and as symbol of God's grace;
Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus; (Refrain)
Let us build a house where hands will reach beyond the wood and stone,
To heal and strengthen, serve and teach, and live the Word they've known.
Here the outcast and the stranger bear the image of God's face,
Let us bring an end to fear and danger; (Refrain)

No Greater Love
03:06
|

There is no greater love, says the Lord, than to lay down your life for a friend;
there is no greater love, no greater love, than to lay down your life for a friend.
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Live on in my love.
You will live in my love if you keep my commands, even as I have kept my Father's.
There is no greater love, says the Lord, than to lay down your life for a friend;
there is no greater love, no greater love, than to lay down your life for a friend.
All this I tell you that my joy may be yours and your joy may be complete.
Love one another as I have loved you: This is my command.
There is no greater love, says the Lord, than to lay down your life for a friend;
there is no greater love, no greater love, than to lay down your life for a friend.
You are my friends if you keep my commands; no longer slaves but friends to me.
All I heard from my Father, I have made known to you: Now I call you friends.
There is no greater love, says the Lord, than to lay down your life for a friend;
there is no greater love, no greater love, than to lay down your life for a friend.
It was not you who chose me, it was I who chose you, chose you to go forth and bear fruit.
Your fruit must endure, so you will receive all you ask the Father in my name.

Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown, will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?
Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?
Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean, and do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean in you and you in me?
Will you love the ”you” you hide if I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?
Will you use the faith you’ve found to reshape the world around,
Through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?
Lord, your summons echoes true when you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In your company I’ll go where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you and you in me.

Song at the Center
05:22
|
|||
|
From the corners of creation to the center where we stand,
Let all things be blessed and holy, all is fashioned by your hand;
Brother wind and sister water, mother earth and father sky,
Sacred plants and sacred creatures, sacred people of the land.
In the east, the place of dawning, there is beauty in the morn,
Here the seeker finds new vision as the sacred day is born.
All who honor life around them, all who honor life within,
They shall shine with light and glory when the morning breaks again. (Refrain)
In the south, the place of growing, there is wisdom in the earth,
Both the painful song of dying and the joyful song of birth;
As the earth gives up her life blood so her children’s hearts may beat,
We give back to her our rev’rence, holy ground beneath our feet. (Refrain)
In the north, the place of wisdom, there is holy darkness deep,
Here the silent song of myst’ry may awake you from your sleep;
Here the music still and holy sounds beneath the snow and night,
In the ones who wait with patience for the coming of the light. (Refrain)
In the west, the place of seeing, there is born a vision new
Of the servant of the servants, who proclaimed a gospel true;
Let the creatures of creation echo back creation’s prayer,
Let the Spirit now breathe through us and restore the sacred there. (Refrain)

Lord, you have searched my heart, and you know when I sit and when I stand.
Your hand is upon me protecting me from death, keeping me from harm. (Refrain)
Where can I run from your love? If I climb to the heavens you are there;
If I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea, still I'd find you there. (Refrain)
You know my heart and its ways, you who formed me before I was born
In the secret of darkness before I saw the sun, in my mother's womb. (Refrain)
Marvelous to me are your works; how profound are your thoughts, my Lord.
Even if I could count them, they number as the stars, you would still be there. (Refrain)

All shall be well again I know.

Some would rely on their power, others put trust in their gold.
Some have only their Savior, whose faithfulness never grows old. (Refrain)
Sometimes the road may be lonesome; often we may lose our way;
Take courage and always remember love isn't just for a day. (Refrain)
Sometimes when troubles are many; life can seem empty, it's true,
But look at the life of our Savior, who lovingly suffered for you. (Refrain)

Let All Things
02:04

Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving to God our Creator triumphantly raise;
Who fashioned and made us, protected and stayed us, by guiding us on to the end of our days.
God’s banners are o’er us, pure light goes before us, a pillar of fire shining forth in the night:
Till shadows have vanished and darkness is banished, as forward we travel from light into Light.
The law God enforces, the stars in their courses, the sun in its orbit obediently shine,
The hills and the mountains, the rivers and fountains, the depths of the ocean proclaim God divine.
We, too, should be voicing our love and rejoicing with glad adoration, a song let us raise:
Till all things now living unite in thanksgiving, to God in the highest, hosanna and praise.
