The Love of God by Rich Mullins (from the cd "Never Picture
Perfect")
Romans 8:18-39, Ephesians 3:14-21
there's a wideness in God's mercy
i cannot find in my own
and He keeps His fire burning
to melt this heart of stone
keeps me aching with a yearning
keeps me glad to have been caught
in the reckless raging fury
that they call the love of God
now i've seen no band of angels
but i've heard the soldier's songs
love hangs over them like a banner
love within them leads them on
to the battle on the journey
and it's never gonna stop
ever widening their mercies
and the fury of His love
oh the love of God
and oh, the love of God
the love of God
joy and sorrow are this ocean
and in their every ebb and flow
now the Lord a door has opened
that all Hell could never close
here i'm tested and made worthy
tossed about but lifted up
in the reckless raging fury
that they call the love of God
Peace (A Communion Blessing From St. Joseph's Square) by Rich Mullins
and Beaker (from the cd "A Liturgy, A Legacy, and A Ragamuffin
Band")
Matthew 26:26-30, John 6:32-58, Colossians 3:12-17
v1. though we're strangers, still i love you
i love you more than your mask
and you know you have to trust this to be true
and i know that's much to ask
but lay down your fears, come and join this feast
He has called us here, you and me
chorus. and may peace rain down from Heaven
like little pieces of the sky
little keepers of the promise
falling on these souls this drought has dried
in His blood and in His body
in His bread and in His wine
peace to you, peace of Christ to you
v2. and though i still love you, still we're strangers
prisoners in these lonely hearts
and though our blindness separates us
still His light shines in the dark
and his outstretched arms are still strong enough to reach
behind these prison bars to set us free
chorus
chorus
peace of Christ to you
