803 Love is His word
instrumental: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcqVV2nmthQ
Love is His word, Love is His way,
Feasting with kin, fasting alone,
Living and dying, rising again
Love only love is His way.
Refrain:
Richer than gold
Is the love of my Lord.
Better than splendour and wealth.
Love is His way, love is His mark,
Sharing His last Passover feast.
Christ at the table, host to the Twelve
Love, only love, is His mark.
Love is his mark, love is His sign,
Bread for our strength,
wine for our joy,
This is my body, this is my blood
Love, only love is His sign.
Love is His law, Love is His word,
Love of the Lord, Father, and Word,
Love of the Spirit, God ever one,
Love, only love, is His word.
or
Love is His name, love is His law,
Hear His command, all who are His,
Love one another, I have loved you
Love, only love, is His law.
216 By the Waters of Babylon
(in between verse readings)
By the waters, the waters of Babylon,
we sat down and wept,
and wept for thee Zion
we remember thee, remember thee,
remember thee, Zion
On the willows, the willows of Babylon,
we hung up our harps our harps
for thee Zion
how can we sing, can we sing,
sing of thee, Zion,
There our captors, our captors from Babylon,
tried to make us sing, of thee Zion
but we could not sing,
we could not sing, we could not sing,
we could not sing Zion.
(repeat from beginning, but as a round song.
Girls sing first, boys/men will follow)
924 Servant Song
Brother, sister, let me serve you
Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too.
We are pilgrims on a journey
We are trav'llers on the road;
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load
I will weep when you are weeping;
When you laugh I'll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
Till 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.
Brother, sister, let me serve you
Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too.
627 This is my body
(not exactly correct versions according to our sheet music, but better than nothing...)
This is my body broken for you
bringing you wholeness, making you free
Take it and eat it and when you do
Do it in love for me.
This is my blood poured out for you
bringing forgiveness, making you free
Take it and drink it, and when you do
do it in love for me.
Love one another - I have loved you
and I have shown you how to be free
serve one another, and when you do
do it in love for me.
Final: 920 A new commandment
Please note the lyrics in the verse are different on the video, pls refer instead to the lyrics below:
A new commandment I give unto you,
That you love one another as I have loved you,
That you love one another as I have loved you.
By this shall all mankind know you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.
By this shall all mankind know
you are My disciples,
if you have love one for another.
A new commandment I give unto you,
That you love one another as I have loved you,
That you love one another as I have loved you.

GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE: (10 a.m.)
Entrance: How deep the Father's love for us
Readings: 225 Were You There
Veneration of the Cross - by the Ghanian Choir
---------------
Entrance: How deep the Father's love for us
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory.
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished.
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished.
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom.
But I will boast inJesus Christ
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer.
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.
(REPEAT)
