1) Father you will all to be saved
For this your Son died and prayed
You know how we all  have strayed
How in weakness we’ve been waylaid
You yearn for our return
For this your heart burns
You will for us to know You
who created us to love and be loved

With your Son and Spirit of divine mercy
You unfold your plan everyday

(repeated pattern of Am11/Dm9/E♭m7/Em13)

You heard it from a distance
Lovely, bewitching
Then let yourself drift to where the water roughened
And there you ran aground

This is where you ended up
Bleached bones and wreckage
By now you should know the sirens' true intentions
But you still help them sing

(sheet music attached)

A Christian song about comfort and love

Psalm 94: If today you hear his voice harden not your heart. 

1 )Your church gives us this Lenten time
To cleanse our souls heart and mind
To free us from all that blocks us from
knowing you evermore intimately

The Shepherd of Hermas is an apocryphal writing from the early Church. While ultimately not included in the New Testament, it was often read by early Christians because of its powerful allegorical view of the Church as a woman helping the author through life.

Instrumentation: Voice, guitar, double bass
Duration: 2’

One day I saw someone I used to know.
She held all the things I tried to hide.
And, filled with shame,
I turned away

But she said “Don’t let the old sad and darkened days bring you down.

Psalm 32 Lord let your mercy be on us, for the second Sunday of Lent Year A

For forty days  with abstinence
and she decrees a lenten fast       
to heal and save our fragile minds and  hearts.

Of the worldly sites that abound
That distract and drag us down
Where subtle half truths and temptations abound

How to love divinely
How to follow you daily  
The pilgrim way to glory

To see ourselves and our brothers
As children of our  dear Father   
Playing with joy with each other

Yours the way of intimate prayer
With you and our dear Father

Great song about being kind, examination of conscience and asking for courage to act in the spirit of love.

1) All that’s good and true
All beauty comes from you
All life and love and power
Flows  from you dear Father
 so we give you all praise
So we give you all paise
Our hearts are restless till
Till they rest in you
Your promise come fulfill 
To live forever in glory with you

2) You purify our motives
For us to childlike live   
For us to all  forgive

Pray for people outside the Church, especially those who left the faith.

Instrumentation: Voice, two cellos
Duration: 1’30”

Dmaj7         
I was trying to follow you
Am7
when you turned off your lights
       A♭6                  Gmaj7
and took the wrong exit.
Dmaj7
Why would you do that?

1 )In these last days of the battle You raise up great saints and popes

Sent Mary our mother and our hope
For us to fight as children of light and hope

2 )O Spirit teaches how to live and pray through sorrow and joy each day

conform us to God’s holy ways In our heart, will, work and play

REFRAIN

Grant us the grace to persevere, Lord and be of on heart and accord

Help us follow you in distress
Till in your victory live in your divine rest

3 ) Lord help us be stong.and bold As we fight for poor broken souls Lead us in your valiant fight, Quelling all the devil’s might;
