MUSIC SELECTIONS
General Selections
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.
Be Not Afraid
Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come follow me, and I will give you rest.
Blest Are They
Rejoice and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!
Come to Me
Come to me, come to me, come when you are weary; come to me, come to me, and I will give you rest.
Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled
Do not let your hearts be troubled, have faith in God and faith in me. I will go forth to prepare a place
for you, then I’ll come back to take you with me, that where I am, you may also be.
Eye Has Not Seen
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard what God has ready for those who love him
Spirit of love, come give us the mind of Jesus; teach us the wisdom of God
God of Day and God of Darkness
God of day and God of darkness, now we stand before the night;
As the shadows stretch and deepen, come and make our darkness bright.
All creation still is groaning for the dawning of your might,
When the Sun of peace and justice fills the earth with radiant light.
Here I Am, Lord
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heart.
How Great Thou Art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down your head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn, and sad; I found in him a resting place, and he has made me glad.
Jesus, Remember Me
Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Make Me a Channel of Your Peace
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.
O God Beyond All Praising
The flow’r of earthly splendor in time must surely die, its fragile bloom surrender to you, the Lord most high. But hidden from all nature the eternal seed is sown, though small in mortal stature to heaven’s garden grown. For Christ, the man from heaven, from death has set us, and we through Him are given the final victory.
On Eagle’s Wings
And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun and hold you in the palm of his hands.
Precious Lord, Take My Hand
Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
Shelter Me, O God
Shelter me, O God; hide me in the shadow of your wings. You alone are my hope.
Sing with All the Saints in Glory
Sing with all the saints in glory, sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, to the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking, soon the storms of time shall cease;
In God’s likeness, we awaken, knowing everlasting peace.
You Are Mine
Do not be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me, I will bring you home; I love you and you are mine.
You Are Near
O Lord, I know you are near, standing always at my side.
You guard me from the foe, and you lead me in ways everlasting

Behold the Lamb
Behold, behold the Lamb of God. All who eat, all who drink shall live;
And all, all who dwell in God, shall come to know God’s glory!
I Am the Bread of Life
I am the Bread of life. You who come to me shall not hunger; and who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me unless the Father beckons.
And I will raise you up, and I will raise you up, and I will raise you up on the last day.
Now We Remain
We hold the death of the Lord deep in our hearts. Living; now we remain with Jesus the Christ.
Table Song
We are the body of Christ, Broken and poured out, promise of life from death; we are the body of Christ.
Taste and See
Taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord. O, taste and see, taste and see,the goodness of the Lord.
One Bread, One Body
One bread, one body, one Lord of all, one cup of blessing which we bless. And we, though many, throughout the earth, we are one body in this one Lord.
Draw Near
Draw near, draw near! Take the Body of your Lord. Draw near, draw near! Drink the Blood for you outpoured
Gift of Finest Wheat
You satisfy the hungry heart with gift of finest wheat. Come give to us O saving Lord, the bread of life to eat.
