Communion
In Christ Alone (sheet music)

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!

And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.


Shout to the Lord

My Jesus, My Savior,
Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days I want to praise
the wonders of Your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength;
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You.

(All) Refrain:
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.

I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand,
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
(All singers repeat from beginning)

Nothing compares to the promise I have in You. (2 X)

End:  268 Alleluia give thanks to the Risen Lord

Good Friday 2022 10:30 AM Family Service at SSMM

Opening Hymn – How Deep the Father's love for us

https://youtu.be/e9FG12eTSbI

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 in Jesus 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

https://youtu.be/KgYZoP3xlxk

The 8th Station, Jesus meets the women of
Jerusalem

The 9th Station, Jesus falls for the third time

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:

Lord, you are my shepherd,
you are my friend.
I want to follow you always,
just to follow my friend.

Communion 1:  749 Servant King
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBd3ThCResI

From heaven You came, helpless babe
Entered our world, Your glory veiled
Not to be served but to serve
And give Your life that we might live

REFRAIN:
This is our God, the Servant King
He calls us now to follow Him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King..

There in the garden of tears
My heavy load He chose to bear;
His heart with sorrow was torn,
Yet not my will, but Yours he said.

Come see His hands and his feet,
The scars that speak of sacrifice
Hands that flung stars into space
To cruel nails surrendered

So let us learn now to serve,
And in our lives enthrone Him
Each other's needs to prefer
For it is Christ we're serving

Communion 2:  249 Stay with me (Taize chant)

And spent his merciful rain
Now the rivers of life run full for
Anyone to drink.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aHneNl38fM

No longer I, but Christ who lives within me:
this poverty; a treasure rich beyond compare.

The life we live is not our own.
Christ lives within us, the seed that must be sown.
Formed in the pattern of God's love.
We die to rise with the Lord.

We have been clothed in Christ,
children of freedom, of justice and new life.
To him whose dying set us free,
we give our lives, our liberty.

Then may we bear the cross of Christ
and wear the brand-marks of Jesus in our flesh;
as wounded healers we become,
images of the risen one.



Final 849 God forgave my sins (Freely, freely)

God forgave my sin in Jesus' name.

And in Jesus' name I come to you
To share his love as he told me to.

Refrain:
He said 'Freely, freely you have received;
freely, freely give.
Go in my name, and because you believe
others will know that I live.

All pow'r is giv'n in Jesus' name;
in earth and heav'n in Jesus' name;
and in Jesus' name I come to you
to share his pow'r as he told me to.

God gives us life in Jesus' name;
he lives in us in Jesus' name;
and in Jesus' name I come to you
to share his peace as he told me to.
