Strong Hope 05:01
Promises you keep When we do not see All behind the scenes We trust you, we need you God how do you feel When your people suffer now Help us find our place At your table, under your wings Help us find a way In the chaos of today Lead us by your peace Deliver us, we pray Oh, we pray Give light to our eyes When darkness shows its face When pain becomes our song Be the refrain, our strong hope Help us find a way In the chaos of today Lead us by your peace Deliver us, we pray Oh, we pray You do love us, you know all our dreams God you hear us, God you know our hearts So help us find a way In the chaos of today Lead us by your peace Deliver us, we pray Oh, we pray

Remember us, Lord We are bowed down into dust Expectantly waiting for You Merciful Lord, You are kind, You are just Out of the ashes we cry The Lord is our portion We hope in Him His mercies endure Never come to an end New every morning and great is your faithfulness Examine your ways And return to the Lord Lift up your hearts and your hands He will be sure To deliver us safe Out of the ashes we rise The Lord is our portion We hope in Him His mercies endure Never come to an end New every morning and great is your faithfulness Great is your faithfulness Hide not your face from us Turn oh Lord, and save us

Another night is gone And nothing like the dawn seems to be breaking You lie in bed and pray Just aching for that final day of waking Light years from here Beyond all fear Faith used to be so clear Now it’s elusive as a cure Nothing feels sure When clouds look like a bruise And early morning news inflames your spirit The steep and winding way Feels more remote each day and still you choose it Bodies grow frail And memories fail Passions wax cold and stale Ready your mind, your soul, your core Here’s what’s in store No more sorrow No if onlys Lonely nights will cease No more weeping Grieving wanes as Pain gives way to peace The world looks on and jeers The fleeting gift of years can be misleading Our pipe dreams run aground And don’t always rebound, we stop believing Vanities pall As empires sprawl Prey on the weak and small Call to mind prophecies foretold Rise and take hold No more sorrow No if onlys Lonely nights will cease No more weeping Grieving wanes as Pain gives way to peace No more sorrow No tomorrow cancels grace today God will stroke each lifted face And wipe each tear away No more sorrow, solace calls Lift your face as mercy falls

There were angels They asked me, “why are your crying?” There were angels I said, “they’ve taken my Lord.” There were angels “I don’t know where they’ve laid Him.” There were angels “Where have they taken my Lord?” There was a man He asked me, “why are your crying?” There was a man I said, “they’ve taken my Lord.” There was a man “Please tell me where you’ve laid Him.” There was a man And then he called me by my name It was my Lord I was crying so hard I couldn’t see Him It was my Lord He was risen from the dead It was my Lord He said, “you cannot hold me now.” It was my Lord And He was risen from the dead It was my Lord And He was risen from the dead

Let us bring forth a new song For the marvelous things God has done He is revealed, our hope has come Heir to the throne, the righteous one We were thirsty in a bone dry land He drew us water with a strong right hand We came wearing rags, heads bowed down He made us beautiful garments, from His burial shroud Burst into jubilant song Fill the earth with the sound And join the celebration For He remembers His love And faithfulness to us The God of our salvation Let the seas, as they rise and fall Let the mountains, proud and tall Let every creature, let us all Rejoice in the chorus, in the presence of our God Burst into jubilant song Fill the earth with the sound And join the celebration For He remembers His love And faithfulness to us The God of our salvation He’ll rule over every land With mercy in his eyes and justice in His hands He’ll rule over every land With mercy in his eyes and justice in His hands Burst into jubilant song Fill the earth with the sound And join the celebration For He remembers His love And faithfulness to us The God of our salvation

about

This project grew out of the belief that worship within the church is the “work of the people.” As we discussed ideas, we gravitated toward allowing these songs to come from the scriptures, and specifically, the selected texts from the Lectionary for Holy Week. Our hope was that as we looked to these passages, the songs would grow organically out of who we are as a congregation. This year’s compilation truly reflects the collaborative and eclectic nature of the artists and musicians within and surrounding our worship ministry at Immanuel. We hope that as you listen, you will find a fresh approach to the Easter season, this year and in years to come. Enjoy.
