Expressions of Our Worship – v3

In our individual walks of faith
each one revealing, sharing,
expressions of our praise, our worship
our living with the Word.

Little acts of kindness
Caring for our neighbors’ needs
Serving our brothers and our sisters
going where we are called.

Reflecting the love of our Father
Giving Him everything
seeking to love and Serve Him
our Master over all.

Sharing Communion with Us – v3

Around Your table Lord
all around the world united
one meal together, love,
sharing communion with us;
One body in Christ, of Christ
brothers and sisters
strangers no more

Those hungry physically
all those spiritually searching
members with us
the family of God;
One meal, together, love,
shared around the world
in communion with God

the communion personal – v2

Christ’s offer to us
the bread and the cup
the communion personal
offered by name
called to the banquet
Christ’s table for us
for each one, for you, for me;
the communion personal
offered by Christ
by our risen Savior
calling to us
by our given name
offered to us
to feed us within.

We are commanded to love unconditionally – v2

One of Christ’s last acts,
His last verbal teaching
the lesson to his disciples
on how they are to live
the new command He gave them
to love as He loves us
not something vague,
not in the scripture
the way He walked in life

We are commanded to love unconditionally
not as we would love ourselves
to love as Christ loves us
the One who went to the cross
letting Judas go that night
not stopping the betrayal
willing drinking of the cup
submitting His will to the Father
choosing the path to Calvary

If we want to be Christ’s disciples
If we seek to follow His teachings
to love as He loves us,
giving His life for us, knowing the cost
We are commanded to love unconditionally
more than as we would love ourselves
we are to love as Christ loved us
offering His body, His blood
climbing the cross in love

At the Rail Received – v2

We kneeled, at the rail received
the bread, the wine
the body, the blood,
sharing the communion meal,
Christ’s new covenant
with us, with all who believe
at God’s table, the Lord’s table,
sharing the elements
the parts, in remembrance
pausing for the invocation, the invitation
of the pastor, his blessing,
rising to return to our pews
silent, reverent, in appreciation
thanking the Savior
for His wondrous gift, His sacrifice,
a sharing around the world
to the ends of the earth

Entering the Upper Room – v2

The pace slowing further
the climax fast at hand,
entering the pivotal moments
entering the upper room.

Christ showing them an example
how we are to love each other;
Our Master becoming our servant
bowing to wash our feet.

Christ commands us to love – v2

We too are in the upper room
with the first disciples
all of Christ’s believers
at the Last Supper
Christ calling us together
the ancient rite we continue
with the words he uttered
speaking aloud his sacrifice
Speaking a new commandment
Christ commands us to love
to love as he loves us
to love our neighbors as ourselves
to love sacrificially

rich in good deeds


the measure of our aspirations
our callings by Christ
rich in good deeds only
not in treasure here on earth
the wealth rich in materials
but that its own reward
treasure of richer stuff
in heaven’s eternal stores

If God bowed before me

If the Creator, eternal
if God bowed before me
stripped of his robe,
washing my feet, humble
coming as a servant
caring for me
that my feet would be clean

If God bowed before me
the living Christ
showing me love
how I am to love
what should I do
where I am but clay
how can I be more faithful
to walk in his way
