You are the model I strive for
You are the one whom I adore
The one for whose company I long
You are the one I lift up in song
You are father and my brother
A friendship unlike any other
But you are God above all things
Lifted high on angels' wings
Still, you call me one of your own
And want me with you in your home

Lord, help me find the way
To speak what I need to say
To show by word and by deed
To live out loud what I believe
To those around me this day

Lord, lead me to the truth
The path that leads to you
Though I may stumble and fall
I rise again and answer the call
May my journey help others too

Lord, teach me to live my life
In a way pleasing to your sight
In all, let my love be shown
So that your name may be known
To those in darkness and in light

Gather round gather one and all
To see this Jesus "Lord of great and small"
See him wear his crimson crown
See how the mighty have fallen down!
Like drops of blood upon his brow
Where, oh wise one, is your God now?
Look upon the nails that hold him fast
As it is written, it shall come to pass
He who raised people from the grave
He, himself, he cannot save

My lance pierced his bleeding heart
And then the veil was torn apart
The earth trembled, the Heavens shook
Jesus of Nazareth condemned as a crook
Jesus, teacher and carpenter's son
Proclaiming himself the chosen one

Now washed in the flow of water and blood
My eyes are open to the depths of love
Perhaps he is who he claims to be
I was a prisoner who has been set free
I gave him death and he gave me life
Jesus, please remember me when,
In power and glory, you return again
I am unworthy, but you made me new
I gladly give my life in service of you

You turned my whole world around
You turned my life upside down
The day you came into my life
You shattered my defenses
You broke down these walls
When you came and rescued me
I was on the inside looking out
Now I'm on the outside looking in
Looking at a brand-new day begin
You shook me like an earthquake
Crashed over me like a tidal wave
When you called me from the grave
Now I'm living in a whole new place
A land of mercy with sweet days of grace
Since you wrote your name on my heart
Since you put a song on my lips
Burned your words into my mind
And opened my eyes to see the loving kind
You turn loss into gain
You give strength in pain
You change death into life
And give us peace in the strife
For you, darkness is light
The blind have sight
In giving we receive
In obeying we are free
You turned the world upside down
And you turned my life around
The day you came into our lives

40 hours to pray and fast
40 hours to put Jesus on blast
40 hours to sit and adore
The mystery of the living Lord
40 hours of silent reflection
40 hours of soul introspection
40 hours to ask and intercede
And come to Him with every need

This time Lord I'm gonna trust you
This time Lord I'm gonna get it right
This time Lord I'm gonna change
This time Lord I'll walk in the light
But this time I falter, this time I fail
I take my eyes off you, and start to flail
You reach out and pull me in tight
You never grow weary of forgiving me
It is I who grow tired of asking to be
I know I'm unworthy, but I am ever grateful
Because without your grace I'm incapable
Of doing any good apart from You

This time Lord I'm gonna spend with you
This time Lord everything will be alright
This time Lord, you're changing me
This time Lord I'm awash in your light
And this time Lord I wait, and I wonder
As waves of mercy pull me under
You reach out to me and pull me close
You never grow weary of showing your love for me
It never gets old; this sensation of being free
You call me worthy, and so I will rejoice
Because by your grace I am given a choice
Of never having to be apart from You
