In being of prayer
So grateful, heart be
Of God generous
Word flows back to me
Rather than me telling
A lesson let me know
In how I live my life
This way, let me show
With gifts of abundant
Learn to give away
All that I’ve been blessed
In sharing here, this day
Possessions and money
But of greater value
The joy, peace and love
The treasures of You!
An altar before me
When Lord paid the price
A calling within
Of a sacrifice
An invitation
A choice to begin
Of a sacrifice
To turn from my sin
An offer of help
If I repent
Of the Lords blessing
Through His Spirit sent
A transformation
Awaits here this day
Oh, let the heart chose
The follow Your way
God became man
He paid the price
For all our sins
He was sacrificed
We crucified him
And still he returned
For all who believe
Our salvation earned
This is the good news
Our voice let us raise
Deep in our soul
Unrelenting praise
A message of hope
Let all our life say
Our source of joy
Is this Easter day
New day arising
The light our God lifts
In colors or gray
Presented a gift
Perhaps one of beauty
Rejoicing to pray
Or cloudy and rainy
Feel downcast this day
Attitude birthing
A choice within you
We make our horizon
One of our own view
One that we bring
To others we shine
Let You be our light
In colors divine
Down from the cross
In your arms to hold
The light of the world
Your Son’s body, cold
The greatest injustice
You witnessed here
What could be good
From this worst nightmare
Did the Spirit prepare
In your prayer, contemplate
A lifetime of faith
Of a trust so great
Perhaps you did know
Someday that we could
That we would call
This Friday good
A lesson of wisdom
Through faith let us see
When we question God
Of how can this be?
Just a little silence
Can go a long, long way
Words of wordless wonder
Of being, let us pray
Just a little Spirit
A seed to inspire
Sending waves of joy
Can set the soul on fire
Just a little Jesus
Here can rescue me
Path of His way chosen
Leads to eternity
Just a little, all we need
This day to endure
Our gracious God, awaits
So, let’s all ask for more!
Consumed in flames
This beauty great
With sorrowed soul
We contemplate
A message sent
Of prophets view
That there’s nothing
We can do
Wisdom blessed
For us to know
Things of this world
To let them go
A cold hard truth
To soul it burns
That unto ashes
We will return
When my time comes
Remains in grave
Through your grace, Lord
Let me be saved
Refiners fire
We will see
Let all my soul
Depend on Thee
