Garments of Love

Youth Choir - Youth Sunday 5/11/08

I may not wave the Bible like a flag,
May not get pushy 'bout the things that I believe
But when the freaks and geeks get picked on after class,
You'll find the love of Christ is right here on my sleeve.

And if you look beneath the surface you will understand
That I am rooted, I am grounded deeper than the shifting sand
With the peace of resurrected love tatooed on my heart;
You will find me, when push turns into shove
Clothed in love,
In garments of love.

When you're kept from the table by your race,
How rich or poor you are or who you wanna kiss;
If I'm inside you'll see me reach across the gate,
'Cause I believe Jesus himself would live like this,


And if you look beneath the surface you will understand
That I am rooted, I am grounded deeper than the shifting sand
With the peace of resurrected love tatooed on my heart;
You will find me, when push turns into shove
Clothed in love,
In garments of love.

(Oo)They may be patched and stained but
These clothes suit me fine.
(Oo) I tear the knees out but God
Mends them with forgiveness ev'ry time,
So I can go and offer mine.

And if you look beneath the surface you will understand
That I am rooted, I am grounded deeper than the shifting sand
With the peace of resurrected love tatooed on my heart;
You will find me, when push turns into shove
Clothed in love,
In garments of love.
In garments of love.
In (baggy jeans) of love,
In (T-shirts) of love,
In (high tops) of love,
In (khaki shorts) of love,
The accoutrements of love.

Come To The Feast

Youth Choir - Youth Sunday 5/11

They've got bars on the stained glass to keep all the blessings inside.
Locks and chains on the doors to guard those gold crosses they hide.
But there's a man in the doorway who lives on the street.
He touches the chains and they fall at his feet, and he says

Come to the Feast
There's always room for one more and there's all you can eat
You can take some to go, gather all you can hold and then go,
Go spread the Feast.

She thought she was so big she'd go without eating for days.
All her bones got so frail and her heart was just wasting away.
Now she stands strong and whole at the table of grace.
Tears fill the cup as they fall from her face, and she says

Come to the Feast
There's always room for one more and there's all you can eat
You can take some to go, gather all you can hold and then go,
Go spread the Feast.

The candles are burning, the table is spread;
A voice rings out clear like one back from the dead.
Out across the battle fields, up from the slums,
Over borders and color lines the same message comes, and it says

Come to the Feast
There's always room for one more and there's all you can eat
You can take some to go, gather all you can hold and then go,
And it says,
Come to the Feast
There's always room for one more and there's all you can eat
You can take some to go, gather all you can hold and then go,
Go spread the Feast.

I Hope You Dance

For Graduation Sunday, April 20, 2008

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder.
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger.
May you never take one single breath for granted.
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

I hope you dance,
I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance.
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’.
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’.

Don’t let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter.
When you come close to sellin’ out, reconsider.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

I hope you dance,
Time is a wheel in constant motion, al-
I hope you dance.
ways rolling us a long.
I hope you dance,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
I hope you dance.
Where those years have gone?

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

Dance,
I hope you dance.
I hope you dance,
Time is a wheel in constant motion, al-
I hope you dance.
ways rolling us a long.
I hope you dance,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
I hope you dance.
Where those years have gone?
I hope you dance.
