Living Water

Dry bones right now
Breathe in, breathe out
No more drinking the dirt I’m thirsty
Oh sprit of resurrection
Flowing through me
You’ve made me a new creation how can it be

Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Like a river break the levee
Let it overflow
I could never have to much of your love
Your love
Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Oh

One life soon past
Only what’s done for You will last
So break down this dry ground
Spring a well from the inside out

Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Like a river break the levee
Let it overflow
I could never have to much of your love
Your love
Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Oh

Holy spirit
Holy presence
You have changed the atmosphere here in my chest
Holy well spring
What’s in store
I am longing for more

Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Like a river break the levee
Let it overflow
I could never have to much of your love
Your love
Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Oh

Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Like a river break the levee
Let it overflow
I could never have to much of your love
Your love
Living water deep with me
Saturate my soul
Oh

Saturate my soul

Called Me Higher

I could just sit
I could just sit and wait for all Your goodness
Hope to feel Your presence
And I could just stay
I could just stay right where I am and hope to feel You
Hope to feel something again

And I could hold on
I could hold on to who I am and never let You
Change me from the inside
And I could be safe, oh
I could be safe here in Your arms and never leave home
Never let these walls down

But You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I’ll go where You will lead me Lord
You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I’ll go where You lead me Lord
Where You lead me
Where You lead me Lord

And I could hold on
I could hold on to who I am and never let You
Change me from the inside
And I could be safe, oh
I could be safe here in Your arms and never leave home
Never let these walls down

And I will be Yours, oh
I will be Yours for all my life

I will be Yours, oh
I will be Yours for all my life
So let Your mercy And

Oh, and I will be Yours, Lord
And I will be Yours for all my life
So let Your mercy light the path before me

‘Cause You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I’ll go where You will lead me Lord
‘Cause You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I’ll go where You will lead me Lord
Oh, ’cause You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I’ll go where You will lead me Lord
Oh, ’cause You have called me higher
You have called me deeper
And I’ll go where You will lead me Lord, where You lead me

Where You lead me Lord
Where You lead me
Where You lead me Lord

Bread Bread

Let us break bread together on our knees
Let us break bread together on our knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us drink wine together on our knees
Let us drink wine together on our knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us praise God together on our knees
Let us praise God together on out knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me.

Your Lord and King adore;

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;

His kingdom cannot fail;
he rules o’er earth and heaven;
the keys of earth and hell

Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us;

Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe

Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love;
to practice your acceptance until we know by heart
