It was six days before the Passover.
Jesus entered Jerusalem
And the children ran out waving branches
As they sang to Him these words of praise.
Come on and sing Hosanna,
Sing Hosanna, sing hosanna in the highest. (x2)
Lift your heads, O you gates, and reach higher
Let him enter, the glorious King.
Tell me, who is the King robed in glory?
He’s the mighty Lord of heaven’s hosts.
Come on and blest is He, the King who comes,
So rich in mercy and in love.
Come on and blest is He, the King who comes,
So rich in mercy and in love.
Late, late have I loved you, O Beauty so ancient so new!
Late, late have I loved you!
Behold, you were within me but I sought you outside,
And I fell upon those lovely things you made.
I was kept from you by creatures
That would never exist but for you, Lord, but for you!
My deafness you broke open when you called me and cried
And you chased away my blindness with your light;
You poured on me your fragrance
So you entered my breath, till at last I pined for you!
So now it is for you, Lord that I hunger and thirst,
Just the consequence of having tasted you.
You touched me with the fire
Of your love till I burnt just for you, Lord, just for you.
Chorus
Lay your hands gently upon us
Let their touch render your peace
Let them bring Your forgiveness and healing
Lay your hands gently lay your hands
You were sent to free the broken hearted
You were sent to give sight to the blind
You desire to heal all our illness
Lay your hands gently lay your hands.
Chorus
Lord we come to You through one another
Lord we come to You in all our need
Lord we come to You seeking wholeness
Lay your hands gently lay your hands
Chorus
Lose yourself in me and you will find yourself
Lose yourself in me and you will find new life
Lose yourself in me and you will find yourself
And you will live, yes you will live in my heart.
Unless a grain of wheat, falls into the ground
It still remains but a grain of wheat
But if it falls and dies, then it bears much fruit
So it is with those who lose themselves in me.
Though foxes have their holes, birds a little nest
The Son of man, no place to rest
Whoever loves his life or strives the world to gain
Will only find that life was lived in vain.
If we have died with Him, we shall live with Him
If we endure, we’ll reign with Him
Though faithless we may be, faithful He’ll remain
For how can Christ be false unto Himself?
Mercy Lord, we have sinned, listen to our plea.
Mercy Lord we have sinned, answer now our prayer
We have turned from the poor, let the hungry die.
We neglect the oppressed, we ignore their cry.
Now’s the time, now’s the day, turn back to your God,
Tear your hearts, cry to him.
We confess, we detest our disunity
We have lived for ourselves, failed in Charity.
Banish, Lord, from our hearts bitterness and pain
Cleanse us, Lord heal our lives with your spirit’s flame.
Mother of God, plead with your Son,
Pray for us sinners, Mary most pure.
May God pour cleansing streams over us,
Washing our souls from every stain.
May He remove our stony hearts,
Give us a heart of flesh in its stead.
May He incline our minds to His voice,
That we may bend our hearts to His will.
May He renew the strength of the weak
And be the hope of wavering wills.
That He may wipe away every tear
And make His light to shine on our face.
Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee,
Even though it be a cross that raiseth me.
Still all my song shall be: nearer my God to thee.
Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.
Deep in thy Sacred Heart, let me abide,
Thou who hast bled for me, sorrowed and died.
Sweet shall my weeping be, grief surely leading me,
Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.
Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence
Of all that I love here on earth
All the beauty I see He has given to me
And His giving is gentle as silence.
Every day, every hour, every moment
Have been blessed by the strength of His love
At the turn of each tide, He is there at my side,
And His touch is as gentle as silence.
There've been times when I've turned from his presence
And I've walked other paths, other ways
But I've called on His name in the dark of my shame
And His mercy was gentle as silence.
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame,
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
Our hearts were made for you, Lord
Our hearts were made for you.
They’ll never find, never find, never find rest
Until they find their rest in you.
When you call me I will answer,
When you seek me you will find,
I will lead you back from exile
And reveal to you my mind.
I will take you from the nations
And will bring you to your land.
From your idols I will cleanse you
And you’ll cherish my command.
I will put my law within you,
I will write it on your heart;
I will be your God and Saviour,
You, my people set apart.
Parce Domine, parce populo tuo:
ne in aeternum irascaris nobis.
ne in aeternum irascaris nobis.
Parce Domine, parce populo tuo:
ne in aeternum irascaris nobis.
Parce Domine, parce populo tuo:
ne in aeternum irascaris nobis.
Jesus of Nazareth
Arent you also one of his disciples.
If this man were not an evil doer, we would not have handed him over
It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.
Not this man, but Barabas
Hail King of the Jews(2)
Crucify him(2)
We have a law and by that law he ought to die because he has made himself the son of God
If you release this man, you are not Ceaser's friend
Everyone who makes himself a king sets himself against Ceaser
Away with him(2)
Crucify him(2)
We have no king but Ceaser
Do not write the king of the Jews but this man said
‘I am the King of the Jews’
Let us not tear it but let us cast lots for it too
See whose it shall be
Set my spirit free that I might worship Thee,
Set my spirit free that I might praise Thy name.
Let all bondage go and let deliverance flow,
Set my spirit free to worship Thee.
Come, breath of Life, and bend us, break us,
Heal the scars of sin.
Then tenderly re-make us,
Renew us deep within.
Come, Word made flesh to touch us,
Heal us, Save us in our need.
And with your spirit seal us,
God Shepherd, this we plead.
Show your goodness, Lord and redeem us
May your glory shine on the earth.
Lord you poured your blessings on your people
And restored to us prosperity.
You forgave the guilt of your people,
In your goodness covered all their sins;
You averted the fury of your anger
And calmed the heat of your rage.
Now revive us God you are our helper.
Will you not restore again our life?
Put aside your grievances against us
That your people may rejoice in you.
Let us see your tenderness and mercy,
Grant to us, 0 Lord, your saving help.
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me;
Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me! Come home! come home!
You who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Why should we delay when Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me?
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming
Coming for you and for me!
Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me!
Stabat Mater dolorosa
Juxta crucem lacrymosa,
Dum pendebat Filius.
Cujus animam gememtem,
Contristatam et dolentem,
Pertransivit gladius.
O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti!
Take up my cross, it is the Way,
Keep my Word, it is the Truth,
At my Table you'll find Life!
For the cross of sheer folly to Gentile and Jew,
But to us who are saved 'tis the power of God,
So we know and proclaim only Jesus, as Lord.
Jesus Christ who was nailed to the Tree.
For the word of the Lord is a double-edged sword,
So alive and so active, it pierces the heart,
Not a creature can hide from the truth it declares,
It exposes, lays bare all our thoughts!
Lord, to whom shall we go? You're the Bread of Life:
Living Bread that descends like the heavenly dew,
Not the manna you gave to our fathers of old,
But your flesh for the life of the world!
The cup of blessing that we raise,
Is a communion with Christ’s own blood.
Tell me how can I repay the Lord
For all the goodness He has shown to me
I will life up the cup of salvation
The name of God I will call.
O how precious in the sight of God
The death of those so faithful and so true
I’m your servant, the child of your handmaid
Yes, you have loosened my bonds.
I will bring a sacrifice of praise
And I will call upon the name of God
Before all I’ll fulfill my promise
The vows I made to the Lord.
These forty days O Lord we spend
In fast and prayer with You;
Correct our faults and curb our pride,
Our minds and heart renew.
This time of grace employ,
Prepare your hearts with joy,
To celebrate the Paschal feast.
Our Lenten gift we bring to you:
A humbled contrite heart
O teach us in this world to live
As people set apart.
May we each day deny ourselves
To raise our minds to you;
And show to those who are in need,
Your goodness and your love.
You help us grow in holiness
And from our sins to rise.
Lord, through Your passion and Your death,
May Easter be our prize.
Those who weep as they sow,
Will rejoice at the harvest.
Give your thanks to the Lord
Who brings joy out of sorrow.
He turns sorrow into joy.
All your building is vain unless God is the builder,
All your watching is vain unless God is the watchman.
You may rise before dawn, seek your bed after nightfall,
And yet labour in vain, for the Lord gives the increase.
In his love God makes rich by his present of children,
Who, like arrows in flight, will be swift to protect you.
What a blessing God gives in this quiver of arrows,
When the enemy stands in the gate of the city.
Chorus:
Though the mountains may fall and the hills turn to dust,
yet the love of the Lord will stand
as a shelter for all who will call on His name.
Sing the praise and the glory of God.
Could the Lord ever leave you?
Could the Lord forget His love?
Though a mother forsake her child,
He will not abandon you
Chorus
Should you turn and forsake Him,
He will gently call your name.
Should you wander away from Him,
He will always take you back.
Chorus
Go to Him when you're weary,
He will give you eagle's wings.
You will run never tire,
For your God will be your strength.
Chorus
As he swore to your Fathers,
when the flood destroyed the land.
He will never forsake you,
He will swear to you again.
Chorus
Wash Me Lord, Wash Me Clean,
From my sin, my iniquity.
Mercy Lord, for I know my transgression,
And my guilt I see.
Turn your face from my sins,
In your love blot away my guilt.
Make me pure deep within,
Faithful and steadfast in your ways.
With your love and your truth,
I'll become whiter than the snow.
I will hear songs of joy
And my heart shall echo with your praise.
Sacrifice do I bring: see my gift is a contrite heart,
For the Lord never spurns broken spirits,
Who place their trust in him.
We are climbing up the mountain of the Lord
Who will teach us to walk in His ways?
For the law shall go forth out of Zion,
And the Word of the Lord from His hill.
He’ll transform all our spears into plough shares.
Of our swords he will make pruning hooks.
No more nation shall fight other nations,
Nor of war shall they learn any more.
What does it profit a man
If he gains the whole wide world
But suffers the loss of his soul?
Yes, suffers the loss of his soul?
I have spent my whole life in enjoyment,
Good food, good drinks, silk to wear,
With friends who like me let the moments pass
With never a thought or a care. But...
O Lord, I must rise in repentance.
Against Your love have I sinned.
But now is the time to return to You:
I know that Your word makes me free, for...
"Be never the slave of two masters:
You can't serve both God and gold.
Why worry about what to eat and drink?
Your Father knows all that you need", so...
"Provide yourselves with good purses
And save your riches in heaven,
Where thieves cannot reach neither moth destroy,
You must be rich in God's sight." So...
Who shall tarry in his tent? Who shall dwell upon his hill?
I shall show you what is good, what the Lord requires of you.
To do justice, to show kindness
And to walk humbly with your God.
To act rightly, to be blameless
And to speak truth from the heart.
Not to slander, nor do evil,
But to hold the godless in disdain.
Do no damage to your neighbour,
Honour those who fear the Lord.
Keep your promise, never swerving,
Do not take an interest on a loan.
Banish bribery and corruption
And the Lord will keep you firm.
