----------------------LYRICS AND LINKS--------------------------------


Entrance: 948 Because the Lord is my Shepherd
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezmJ-MZ5PU8


Keyboard only and Male soloist (Simon or Romain?)
1. Because the Lord is my shepherd,
I have ev’ry thing I need.
He lets me rest in the meadow and leads me
to the quiet streams.
He restores my soul and he leads me
in the paths that are right:


Refrain:
Lord,    (enter guitars)
you are my shepherd, you are my friend.
I want to follow you always,
just to follow my friend.


Enter flute and female soloist - (May)
2. And when the road leads to darkness,
I shall walk there unafraid.
Even when death is close I have courage,
for your help is there.
You are close beside me with comfort,
you are guiding my way: (refrain - enter flute)


(All voices) 
3. In love you make me a banquet
for my enemies to see.
You make me welcome, pouring down honor
from your mighty hand,
and this joy fills me with gladness;
it is too much to bear:


4. Your goodness always is with me
and your mercy I know.
Your loving kindness strengthens me always
as I go through life.
I shall dwell in your presence forever,
giving praise to your name:

Refrain:
Lord, how can I repay all you ever give to me?
Your endless love an eternal flame:
Lord, if you say the word, I will take your blessing cup
And I will call on your holy name


I trusted, went on trusting,
Through the night of pain
In my anguish and affliction
Human help was vain (refrain)


In the service of your people
I will spend my days
Giving freely of my life-blood
As I walk your ways (refrain)


You unbound me, gave me freedom
You I gladly serve.
In thanksgiving I will offer
Praise without reserve (refrain)


In the service of your people
I will spend my days
In your temple, in your Church, Lord,
Singing endless praise (refrain)

Blessed be God, blessed be God, 
Blessed be God forever, Amen

Our blessing cup is a communion
with the Blood of Christ.
And the bread we break it is a sharing 
with the Body of the Lord.

for all the goodness God has shown?
We will take the cup of life, 
and call upon God's name.

the life and death of those you love.
We are your servants
for you have set us free

we give you thanks and bless your name
with all your people,
praise and glory to your name.


(Soloists 1 and 2)

for you have heard my pleading
Though death surrounded me, 
you heard and answered me.


934 Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faNij71hh7o (lyrics in video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neAdT1SLR10


Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.


In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee.


O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love! 


Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace. 


Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.


Final  924 Servant Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_wMO5KxeAI


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 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
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.
