Your mercies are new every morning; Every morning, let our songs rise to you. Your mercies are new every morning; Every morning, let our songs rise to you. Lord, you are good, Your love is our portion, We will trust, we will wait for you. Lord, you are good, You come to our rescue, We will trust, we will wait for you. When all of our fears rise within us; Rise within us, like the rolling waves. Then we’ll tell the stories of your goodness; Of your goodness, you are strong to save. Our hope is in the Lord, And we won’t be disappointed, We won’t be disappointed.

How lovely is your dwelling place oh Lord of haven walls With all i am i cry to you You are the living God The sparrow finds a resting place the swallow builds a home I long to come and find my place at your table Lord Better is one day Better is one day in your house Better is one day Than a thousand elsewhere You’ve built a highway in my heart To your city gates And though i walk through weeping now Your joy will lead me home For you oh Lord are my sun and shield No good thing will you withhold Forever i will dwell with you At the altar of your love

When we dwell in darkness, and can’t outrun the night; When our hope is hollow, a light. No more songs of sadness, no more shroud of fear, No shadows cast between us, he’s here. And the Lord, he will rise over us, His love will cover us. Arise, and shine, for your light has come! The glory of the Lord has dawned upon us, Fling wide, you gates, in the city of light, The nations are streaming to the love of Christ. There’s no room for violence inside these city walls, The beauty of our Savior restores us all. And the Lord, he will rise over us, His love will cover us. There will be no lamp; there will be no sun Jesus is the light of the city of our God There will be no day; there will be no night Jesus is the light shining bright, shining bright

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of power and might Heaven and earth are full, oh Lord Full of your glory Hosanna in the highest Hosanna in the highest Blessed is he who comes in the name In the name of the Lord Blessed is he who comes in the name In the name of the Lord
5.
Open our ears Open our hearts To hear your Word To hear your Word Open our mouths Loosen our tongues To speak your Word To speak your Word Your Word will do what you sent it to do Your Word has overcome Your Word is true, and it’s taking root Making all things new in us Ready our feet Steady our hands To live your Word To live your Word
6.
Sleepers awake! Christ will shine on you.
7.
Holy, holy, holy Lord God of power and might Heaven and earth are full, oh Lord Full of your glory Hosanna in the highest Hosanna in the highest Blessed is he who comes in the name In the name of the Lord Blessed is he who comes in the name In the name of the Lord

about

Celebrating our first year of services on the Feast of All Saints. In loving memory of Phil Woods, City of Light’s first saint to enter the heavenly City of Our God. Seek the peace of the city where I have carried you, for here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. (Jer. 29; Heb. 13)
