Lectio Divina: (Imaginatively and contemplatively entering the ongoing story of God’s extravagant love for the world)

Lamentations 3:19-24 (MSG) I’ll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness, God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, the taste of ashes, the poison I’ve swallowed. his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. I remember it all—oh, how well I remember— They’re created new every morning. the feeling of hitting the bottom. How great your faithfulness! But there’s one other thing I remember, I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). and remembering, I keep a grip on hope: He’s all I’ve got left.

Lectio Read the text twice slowly and deliberately to fully focus and “chew on” the passage at hand.

Meditatio Read the text a third time. During this reading, notice what specific portion of the text you are being drawn to. This could be a word, phrase, or even a question you have about the text.

Oratio Read the text a fourth time. During this reading, ask the Holy Spirit “Why are you drawing me to this word, phrase, or question?” After the fourth reading, enter into a back and forth conversation with the Holy Spirit (written, internally, or out loud) about what She is stirring within you.

Contemplatio Read the text a fifth and final time. During this reading and in the silence afterward, allow your whole self (mind, body, soul, spirit) to rest in God. A helpful way to do this is to simply say internally or out loud “Spirit of God, thank you for speaking to me.”

Musical Worship: (our response to God, for all God is and all God has done) King of My Heart Verse 1 Let the King of my heart Let the King of my heart Be the mountain where I run Be the shadow where I hide The fountain I drink from The ransom for my life Oh He is my song Oh He is my song Chorus You are good, good, oh Bridge (x4) You’re never gonna let Never gonna let me down Verse 2 (x4) Let the King of my heart Be the wind inside me sails Ending The anchor in the waves When the night is holding on to me Oh He is my song God is holding on (x2) Let the King of my heart Be the fire inside my veins The echo of my days Oh He is my song

Everything is New Verse 1 Verse 4 My eyes have seen the glory My eyes have seen the glory Of the coming Lord Of the coming Lord It looks like streets restored It looks like God’s own feet After the viscous war Walking along these floors

Verse 2 Bridge My eyes have seen the glory In my life be lifted high Of the coming Lord In our world be lifted high It looks like hearts resewn In our love be lifted high Wounded on Eden’s shores Chorus 2 Chorus 1 My God, You move and everything is new My God, You move and everything is new The world is changed never the same The world is changed never the same The light has come bearing your name The light has come bearing your name The dawn that’s breaking in the East The dawn that’s breaking in the East Shines upon the least of these Shines upon the least of these And soon everything is new And soon everything is new Jesus it is you Soon Verse 3 Everything is new My eyes have seen the glory Of the coming Lord Tag It looks like lonely souls My eyes have seen the glory Being alone no more Of the coming Lord

Reckless Love Verse 1 Verse 2 Before I spoke a word When I was Your foe You were singing over me Still Your love fought for me You have been so, so good to me You have been so, so good to me Before I took a breath When I felt no worth You breathed Your life in me You paid it all for me You have been so, so kind to me You have been so, so kind to me

Chorus Bridge O the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of There’s no shadow You won’t light up God Mountain You won’t climb up O it chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found, leaves Coming after me the ninety-nine There’s no wall You won’t kick down I couldn’t earn it, You say I’m worth it, so You give Lie You won’t tear down Yourself away Coming after me O the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

Bonus Songs (If we have time) Highlands (Song of Ascent) Verse 1 O how high would I climb mountains Verse 3 If the mountains were where You hide O how far beneath Your glory O how far I’d scale the valleys Does Your kindness extend the path If You graced the other side From where Your feet rest on the sunrise To where you sweep the sinner’s past Verse 2 O how long have I chased rivers Verse 4 From lowly seas to where they rise And o how fast would You come running Against the rush of grace descending If just to shadow me through the night From the source of its supply Trace my steps through all my failure And walk me out the other side Pre-Chorus 1 ‘Cause in the highlands and the heartache Pre-Chorus 2 You’re neither more or less inclined For who could dare ascend that mountain, I would search and stop at nothing That valleyed hill called Calvary? You’re just not that hard to find But for the one I call Good Shepherd Who like a lamb was slain for me Chorus I will praise You on the mountain Bridge I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way Whatever I walk through You’re the summit where my feet are Wherever I am In the highlands and the heartache all the same Your name can move mountains No less God within the shadows From wherever I stand No less faithful when the night leads me astray And if ever I walk through You’re the heaven where my heart is The valley of death In the highlands and the heartache all the same I’ll sing through the shadows my song of ascent

Pre-Chorus 3 From the gravest of all valleys Come the pastures we call grace A mighty river flowing upward From a deep but empty grave

Goodness of God Verse 1 Chorus I love you Lord All my life You have been faithful Oh Your mercy never fails me All my life You have been so, so good All my days With every breath that I am able I’ve been held in Your hands I will sing of the goodness of God From the moment that I wake up Until I lay my head I will sing of the goodness of God Verse 2 Bridge I love Your voice Your goodness is running after You have led me through the fire It’s running after me In darkest night Your goodness is running after You are close like no other It’s running after me I’ve known You as a Father With my life laid down I’m surrendered now I’ve known You as a friend I give you everything I have lived in the goodness of God Your goodness is running after It’s running after me

Brother Chorus 1 Bridge When I look into the face Forgiveness is the garment of our courage Of my enemy The power to make the peace we long to know I see my brother Open up our eyes I see my brother To see the wounds that bind All of humankind Chorus 2 May our shutter hearts When I look into the face Greet the dawn of life Of my enemy With charity and love I see my sister I see my sister Chorus 3 I see my brother I see my sister I see my father I see my mother
