The Way

I am leading worship this weekend as Mark goes up to Decatur to meet the church that has extended a call to him without ever even meeting him. We're introducing Paul Baloche's song "The Way". Give it a listen. Leadworship.com has charts for it.

We're also using Bob Stromberg's song "Lord you are Here". On CCLI I discovered a second and third verse. I have made tiny lyrical alterations for our weekend's emphasis, but here are the words:

Lord You are here, So near in this place
The warmth of Your presence, the fragrance of grace,
We breathe it like the air around us,
We love to feel Your love surround us.
Surely we know Your promise is true:
When we meet in Your name, We gather with You.
Holy, Holy Spirit, Hear our praise

Chorus:
Holy, holy, Only You are holy, Hallelujah.
Holy, holy, Holy Spirit hear our praise.

Lord, when You're here, Our hearts tell us so:
Your deep peace descending, Your love that we know,
We're silenced By this grace we're under,
We stand amazed In childlike wonder.
Surely we know Your promise is true:
When we meet in Your name, We gather with You.
Holy, Holy Spirit, Hear our praise.

Chorus

Lord, welcome here. Flow down from above,
A river of glory, An ocean of love,
Like desert sands, Our souls are thirsting;
Come Fill our hearts Till springs are bursting.
Praise to Your name; Praise shore to shore;
Praise in the highest; Praise evermore;
Holy, Holy Spirit, Hear our praise.

Chorus
