The Lord Jesus is a song by Gregory Norbet and it explains why Jesus has given example of the act o fthe washing of the feet. This is a short liturgy during Holy Thursday Mass in the Triduum.

 

 
1)Jerusalem,our Glorious home,
When shall we come to thee?
When shall our sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall we see

Looking for a good hymn for Palm Sunday? The lyrics 'Sing hosanna to the king of kings' in this song makes it fitting for the liturgy. The spritely mood from the image of welcoming the Lord into Jerusalem adds a better element to the choice.

Wisdom 2:11-15.

To your love and to all the signs

Psalm 22 for the Fourth Sunday of Lent Year A. The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want. Music by Michael Herry, cover by Erwin Cabucos. Chords on the video.

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

2) You’re at work throughout history
With your Son and Spirit of divine mercy
You unfold your plan everyday

Duration: 1’30”

(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.

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
