Verse 1
You’ll find the love you’re looking for
Within the shelter of your daddy’s arms.
Inside my heart it’s safe and warm,
And you’ll find the love you’re looking for.
If you scrape your knee or bruise your soul, if you run away from home,
Take a look over your shoulder; I will run to meet you.
I will be waiting at the door,
And you’ll find the love you’re looking for.
Verse 2
You’ll find the light your’re looking for
When night is darkest and you’re crying out.
Though you don’t see me anymore,
You’ll find the light you’re looking for.
I know growing up’s not easy, and sometimes hard to understand,
But I’ll lead you into wisdom as we walkl hand in hand.
Your hope is closer than you know,
And you’ll find the light you’re looking for.
Verse 3
You’ll find the life you’re looking for.
With each new day you’re growing stronger still.
There’s such a wide world to explore,
And you’ll find the life you’re looking for.
When you’ve run your race and won you’re fight,
When you’ve kissed your beauty’s hand,
When you finally cross that river, hearing “Welcome home, child,”
We’ll walk together on that shore.
And you’ll find the life you’re looking for.
You’ll find the love you’re looking for.

Verse 1
In the beginning God made the heav’n and earth,
Formed the night and day, sky and sea gave birth,
Set apart dry land filled with beast and shrub
To make a home for the ones He would love
Refrain 1
Then the LORD God took from the dust mankind
In His holy image wrought.
It was very good for this blessed life
Told the story of our God.
Verse 2
Into this land so fair came the serpent’s ruse,
And we chose ourselves over God’s great truth.
We exchanged our home for the wilderness:
Our lives enslaved unto bitter death.
Refrain 2
Still the LORD pursued through the flame and cloud,
By His temple and His law.
He did not undo us despite our doubt
In the story of our God.
Verse 3
Then in our blackest night, fraught with fear and woe,
Our forgetful eyes glimpsed the One foretold.
He was God with us, clothed in flesh and blood
To show the way of God’s suffering love.
Refrain 3
We esteemed Him not, Love unrecognized,
And we killed Him on a cross.
Yet this twisted plot and this murdered Christ
Were the story of our God.
Verse 4
Unto the ground He fell as a seed is sown,
And He rose again sending forth His own
Through the miles and years, witness undeterred,
His story spread into all the earth.
Refrain 4
Now we join the Son in the Father’s praise
By His Spirit and His blood.
As He makes us one, we proclaim the way
To the story of our God.
Refrain 5
His return is soon; we shall see His face
And the fullness of His love.
All shall be renewed, evermore embracing
The story of our God.
So what is left to do but to take our place
In the story of our God.

Jesus died on the cross,

Because He died for me.

Verse 1
As we gather at Your table, we recall Your dying love.
We remember, Blessed Savior, how You gave Your life for us.
You were beaten, bruised, and buried like a humble Grain of Wheat.
Christ Who thus, our judgment carried, may we know You in this feast.
Verse 2
We receive these gifts together from Your outstretched pierced hand,
As Your Holy Spirit tethers heart to heart and man to man.
Word of God so richly spoken fills our senses and our souls.
Bread of Heaven, for us broken, make us whole and wholly Yours.

Verse 1
O Christ Whose blood poured down the tree,
Who drank our cup of enmity,
We call to mind Your death for us,
And lay our lives beneath Your cross.
Verse 2
Your thorn-rent brow, Your gouged side,
We marvel now, God crucified!
Your blood was spilt as flowing wine,
Our hearts to fill with life Divine.
Verse 3
A cov’nant new forged in Your blood
Forever proved the love of God,
So with this cup, we mark Your fall
That raises up and saves us all.

You are my friend.
O Lord my God, You’re in my heart.

Verse 1
The people in darkness have seen a great light,
A light that is shining through the shadow of death.
And hearts that were hardened now break with the morning.
While all of creation is holding its breath…
Chorus
Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord!
Come and worship, come and adore!
For our God has come in flesh and blood
To set His people free.
Hope of the ages, Jesus is born.
Verse 2
Consider and marvel at the mystery of God,
And the manner He shows us our King and His Son,
Enthroned in a manger, asleep on the straw,
Helpless and holy and hope for us all.
Chorus
Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord!
Come and worship, come and adore!
For our God has come in flesh and blood
To set His people free.
Hope of the ages, Jesus is born.

Verse 1
Somewhere beneath this Christmas moon
our daughter sleeps tonight
in orphan’s bed, or mother’s womb,
or heaven’s hidden delight.
Her fragile heart our Father holds
and fashions in His hand
to bear the wisdom He bestows,
and share it as a friend.
Verse 2
Her name God etched upon my heart
though I know not her face:
a wondrous pang that bids me start
to make her dwelling place.
To join her precious life with ours
will call for greatest faith –
to shun our comforts, bare our scars,
to watch and hope and wait.
Verse 3
Yet sweeter joy God stirs us find
if we would dare this dream:
our thriving hearth a living sign
of how the Lord redeems.
So here I pledge my soul with yours
beneath this Christmas moon
to stay this calling and this course,
to bring home Sonja Ruth.
