His final days
the passion of Christ
foretold long ago, scripted
in the song of the servant
Crushed for our iniquities
killed that we would live
planned by the creator
the justice of his holy will
The creator a servant
the father a son
united in grace in love
that his will be done

All of Us Called - 2
If we would but listen
hear our master’s voice
the field where we wander
his amazing grace
All of us are called
his children from the beginning
some of us straying
further from our home
To bring all of us back
through the curtain of Christ
to find ourselves
in our shepherd’s arms
The prayer of God
of the heavenly host
that we would turn
and come at the call of his voice

Judgment and Healing
The words of God
of supremacy, singularity
one creator, one God
for all eternity
One master, a people
united by his promise
fulfilled and revealed
in the way of this life
Ever and always
faithful in his dealing
though there is judgment
there is also healing
We will be gathered
the people of his name
we can trust in the potter
for we are the clay

In new things revealed
God’s purpose carried out
for the glory of his name
the grace heaped upon us
for the sake of his praise
His wrath withheld
his sacrifice instead
bringing us back to him
redeemed and restored
Tested in the fire
refined by the life on earth
turning to the Lord for strength
that we would have rebirth

We Will be Gathered
As the Lord has planned
we will be gathered
the broken pieces redeemed
as the potter and the clay
Our lives in him
numbered days from the beginning
known by our savior
from the beginning of time
We will be gathered
as the sheep from the four winds
brought back into the flock
carried by his loving arms
Rescued from death
from the sins we have committed
healed by his promise
in the one almighty God

Like a Lost Sheep
Like a lost sheep
found in the mountain
in the wilderness alone
away from the flock
Gathering us in
bringing the nation together
up on the shoulders of God
brought into the flock
The Lord will redeem
all of his people
the wayward and lost
into the fold
Gathering us in
into his loving arms
the people of his name
the children he redeems

Still Very Special
Though I don’t say it
as often as I should
you are very special
to me every day
Nothing has changed
save for the voicing of my love
more now in the things I do
than in words said out loud
Hoping you know
how much you mean to me
but needing to share the words
how very special you are to me
