Session 1: Lent

Julie Miller – By Way of Sorrow

Verse 1

You've been taken by the wind,
You have known the kiss of sorrow,
Doors that would not take you in,
Outcast and a stranger.

Chorus 1
You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach the destiny meant to find you all these years,
Meant to find you all these years.

Verse 2
You have drunk a bitter wine with none to be your comfort,
You who once were left behind will be welcome at love's table.

Chorus 2
You have come by way of sorrow, you have take a long way home,
But the love that wits for, you will someday come to know,
You will one day come to know.

Verse 3
All the nights that joy has slept will awake to days of laughter,
Gone the tears that you have wept,
You'll dance in freedom ever after.

Chorus 3
You have come by way of sorrow, you've come over a stony ground,
But when love calls out your name, you will lay you burden down,
You will lay you burden down.

You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach the destiny meant to find you all these years,
Meant to find you all these years.

Roxy Music: Psalm

Try on your love

Like a new dress

The fit and the cut

Your friends to impress

Try on your smile -

Square on your face

Showing affection

Should be no disgrace

Try out your God

Hope He will send

Kindness from strangers

On whom you depend

Try on His coat

A mantle most fine

Myriad colours

His harmony-thine

Believe in me

Once seemed a good line

Now belief in Jesus

Is faith more sublime

Head in the clouds

But I can't see the Lord

Short of perfection

I'll try to be good

I'll stand at His gate

I'll wait for His sign

Then I'll walk in His garden

When it's my time

Drink from His cup

Hush now don't you cry

His quiet waters

Will never, never run dry

Nearing death's vale

He's here by my side

He leads me to paradise

A mountain so high

Don't be afraid

Just treasure His word

Singing His praises

I know that I'll be heard

He's gonna take you by the hand

He's gonna make you feel so good

Open up your eyes

And then you'll see all that you should

Forget all your troubles

You will feel no pain

He's all that you need

He's your everything

When I'm feeling all at sea

Deliverance is that distant shore

I will not be worried

Someday His house will be my home

For ever more

The Clash: The Sound of Sinners

As the floods of God

Wash away sin city

They say it was written

In the page of the Lord

But I was looking

For that great jazz note

That destroyed

The walls of Jericho

The winds of fear

Whip away the sickness

The message on the tablets

Was Valium

The planets form

That golden cross, Lord

I'll see You on

The holy crossroads

After all this time (Judgement day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement day)

After all these drugs (Judgement day)

I thought I was him (Judgement day)

After all my lying and crying and suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough to be him (On judgement day)

Oh no, oh no

The tribal wars (Judgement day)

Are burning up the homeland (Judgement day)

The fuel of evil (Judgement day)

Is raining from the sky (Judgement day)

The sea of lava (Judgement day)

Flowing down the mountain (Judgement day)

The time will sweep (Judgement day)

Us sinners by (Judgement day), by, by

After all these years (Judgement day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement day)

After all these drugs (Judgement day)

I thought I was him (Judgement day)

After all my lying and crying and suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough to be him (On judgement day), no, no

I've taken one ride (Judgement day), go, go, let's go, (Judgement day)

Through Las Vegas (Judgement day)

You go to hell (Judgement day)

I'm given these sixguns (Judgement day)

Seven and elevens (Judgement day)

To roll (Judgement day)

Holy rollers roll (judgement day)

After all this time (Judgement day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement day)

After all those drugs (Judgement day)

I thought I was him (Judgement day)

After all my lying and crying and suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough to be him (On judgement day), oh no, oh no

After all these years (Judgement day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement day)

After all those drugs (Judgement day)

I thought I was him (Judgement day)

After all my lying and crying and suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough to be him (On judgement day)

One take, one down on this roadless road (Judgement day) (Judgement day) (Judgement day) (Judgement day)

Listen give generously now (Judgement day)

Pass the hubcap please (Judgement day)

I don't think so, thank you (On judgement day)

After all this time (Judgement day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement day)

After all those drugs (Judgement day)

I thought I was him (Judgement day)

After all my lying and crying and suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough to be him

Lord, lord, lord, lord

(Judgement day) (Judgement day) (Judgement day)

Hello

I'd like to thank you all for coming here this week (Judgement day)

The collection boxes (Judgement day)

Are at the end of the congregational hall

Hope to see you next Sunday (On judgement day)

Afternoon three thirty next week (Judgement day)

Cheerio (Judgement day) (Judgement day) (Judgement day)

Rapsody – Jesus Coming

[Chorus: Amber Navran]

I pushed aside the truth

'Cause ain't no days are promised

I know I made mistakes

Trying to pray quiet

I gave away my peace

But I know where to find it

I'm going

Going home

I'm going

[Verse 1: Rapsody]

I spent way too much time tryna fit in

"It's time to go"

Laying on this flo' dying flashing thru my life and everybody said it’s cool but Where dey?

"It's time to go"

Telling me we young and that we only gon live once and this the only way to fully enjoy the party

"Damn near all youuuu...home"

But I was having fun before I ever took the risk now they bangin on my chest telling me it’s

"Time to go home"

Thinkin' bout my family, Know this one gon hurt eem honest

Damn I'm sorry mama but I gotta

"It's Time to go home"

Tell grandmama I love her, If you see my baby please hug her

Cuz these demons said I gotta go

"It's time to go"

Save Jordan's for my brother, tell little sister, your daughter, peer pressure is coming

Its real mama

"Damn near all YOUUU"

None of it make it cool

But it's her decision to choose

Just remember me when you it's yo time

"Time to go home"

[Chorus: Amber Navran]

I pushed aside the truth

'Cause ain't no days are promised

I know I made mistakes

Trying to pray quiet

I gave away my peace

But I know where to find it

I'm going

Going home

I'm going

[Verse 2: Rapsody]

Brought my baby out to play today

"It's time to go"

Thinking when I saw them arguing I knew that won't it good and so I told her come on baby

"It's time to go"

Now we lying right here dying and it hurts I couldn't save her why they'd have to shoot my baby, God

"Damn near all of youuuuuu"

Over colors she would color wit tomorrow I know they'll all forget about me and her once it's time to

"Time to go hooooome"

Bout her building blocks just yesterday

"Time to go"

So excited to PLAY but now there's blood soaking our clothes and we ain't have nothing do wit it

"Time to go"

Why they have to trip we were enjoying the day but they had to go and ruin shit

"Damn near all YOUUU"

Now we laying on the ground and everything around me fading cuz it's

"Time to go"

I was having fun then mama said its

"Time to go"

Then I heard thang go bang bang- bang bang bang -bang now we lying out here it's time for us

Time to go"

She grabbed me tried run but it was far too late and now we staring at the sun she waiting on me

"Damn near all you"

I hope you don't forget us and that I pray God forgive you when it's your time to go

"Time to go"

[Bridge: Amber Navran]

Sweet sounds of hellos and I'm so undistracted

I remember winds, and long goodbyes and ashes

I will find my strength at last

My mind captive

I'm going

Home

[Verse 3: Rapsody]

We was staring at the sun too

We was shooting at each other now we both dying too

I got a family and I know he got a family too

I'm praying to my God and he praying to his too

He fighting for his family and I'm fighting for mine too

Money, oil, land, gold the only plan was to make it back safe with both my feet and hands but

It's time to go home

Well now I'm on my way back going (it’s time to go)

They'll give my wife a flag and tell my sons how brave their dad was

And when I make it back home (it’s time to go)

I hope they save the letters, pics and now how much I wished

I wish it wasn't time for me to

But know I left wit em on my heart, I ain't want no purple heart

I'm sorry baby but it's time for me (it’s time to go)
