In the garden He’s full of sorrow Fell on his face He knows where to go In the garden, we put him there Front of the crowd The King of the Jews Which to release Barabbas they choose Front of the crowd, we put him there In our place he stands With nails in His hands He endured it all Our Savior (and we put him there) Mocked and naked They put on the crown The robe and reed Soldiers beat him down Mocked and naked, we put him there In our place he stands With nails in His hands He endured it all Our Savior (and we put him there) On Calvary The Son Forsaken Hung on the cross His Spirit taken On Calvary, we put him there In our place he stands With nails in His hands He endured it all Our Savior (and we put him there)

In my shame, in my despair When my soul had been laid bare I cried out, where’s my rescue, oh my Lord In my fault, in my prayer It was you who met me there You cried out, it is finished, be restored My guilt for your righteousness Your life for my sinfulness This debt who could dare console Christ who died to save my soul In my wrong, in my flesh I was cursed but now I’m blessed Jesus Christ, in his kindness, I’m adored In my pain, in my stress He’s my rock and He’s my rest Jesus Christ, my defender, my reward My guilt for your righteousness Your life for my sinfulness This debt who could dare console Christ who died to save my soul My guilt for your righteousness Your life for my sinfulness This debt who could dare console Christ who died to save my soul In my shame, in my despair When my soul had been laid bare You cried out, it is finished, be restored

Christ was all anguish that we might be joy For God so loved us he gave his employ That we might attain all heaven’s best And enter into his glorious rest Oh that we would be redeemed Love shines brightest on Calvary Faithful kindness for you and me Love shines brightest on Calvary Come soak in his majesty He endured darkness to give us great light For God so loved us, he entered our fight That we might attain blessed relief And take upon Him the weight of our grief Oh that we would be redeemed Love shines brightest on Calvary Faithful kindness for you and me Love shines brightest on Calvary Come soak in his majesty Oh His love overflows In righteousness we are clothed Oh His love overflows In righteousness we are clothed So we would be redeemed So we would be redeemed Love shines brightest on Calvary Faithful kindness for you and me Love shines brightest on Calvary Come soak in his majesty Love shines brightest on Calvary Faithful kindness for you and me Love shines brightest on Calvary Come soak in his majesty

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Nothing can for sin atone, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Naught of good that I have done, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Glory, glory this I sing All my praise for this I bring This is all my hope and peace, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; This is all my righteousness, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Nothing but the blood of Jesus Nothing but the blood of Jesus

How vast our sinful nature We deserve to be lost In our cold desperation Christ hung on the sinner’s cross How great is our salvation He alone He bears the load Death to life is His working Seeds of grace freely sown How strong his hold Christ will never let me go This I know for all time I am his and he is mine How strong is this assurance His promise to endure This gift never failing True throughout and ever pure How sweet is this communion God’s song forged in my soul This peace that’s like a river Never stops it ever flows How strong his hold Christ will never let me go This I know for all time I am his and he is mine How strong his hold Christ will never let me go This I know for all time I am his and he is mine How long this act of mercy How firm this warranty This grace goes on forever The Lord’s sole guarantee How strong his hold Christ will never let me go This I know for all time I am his and he is mine How strong his hold Christ will never let me go This I know for all time I am his and he is mine

Lord I confess I have no cheer This pain follows me wherever I go Lord, I’m a mess Though I am here This pain follows me wherever I go Church would you sing, oh, would you sing for me We do believe that the Lord is good Though troubles may come To truth let us run Our God is good Lord I lament My life is tears This pain follows me wherever I go Lord I am spent I live in fear This pain follows me wherever I go Church would you sing, oh, would you sing for me We do believe that the Lord is good Though troubles may come To truth let us run Our God is good A broken hallelujah is still a hallelujah A broken hallelujah is still a hallelujah, hallelujah Lord in this ache I am aware Your grace follows me wherever I go I am awake To see you there Your grace follows me wherever I go Church would you sing, oh, would you sing with me We do believe that the Lord is good Though troubles may come To truth let us run Our God is good

Broken we gather here A Sick and wounded kin Longing for heads held high A pardon for our sin Weary from wayward ways In lies we put our trust Empty we come today What hope is there for us What hope is there for us He offers living water He is the easy yoke No matter how far we run from him He bids us welcome home Trusting the finished work Proves hard when with regret Still grace speaks a better word Good news we can't forget Good news we can't forget He offers living water He is the easy yoke No matter how far we run from him He bids us welcome home There is a feast before us So let's come and eat The table set before us So that we could see There is a feast before us So let's come and eat The table set before us So that we could see He offers living water He is the easy yoke No matter how far we run from him He bids us welcome home He bids us welcome home He bids us welcome home
8.
Scatter bride of Christ Make known to all the Earth His heaven gates are open wide To all who name his worth Who will know if we don't go To carry on the claim That death is gone and life is found In his holy name That death is gone and life is found In his holy name
