REFRAIN
We hold the death of the Lord deep in our hearts.
Living; now we remain with Jesus the Christ.
1. Once we were people afraid, lost in the night.
Then by your cross we were saved;
Dead became living,
Life from your giving.

We hold the death of the Lord...

1. All who hunger, gather gladly; holy manna is our bread.
Come from wilderness and wand'ring. Here, in truth, we will be fed.

Come from restlessness and roaming. Here, in joy, we keep the feast. ...

Salmo Responsorial La Santísima Trinidad 2018
Key D
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios (2x)
Sincera la palabra del Señor
y todas sus acciones son leales.
El ama la justicia y el derecho,
la tierra llena esta de sus bondades.
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios.
La palabra del Señor hizo los cielos
y su aliento los astros;
pues el Señor hablo y fue hecho todo;
lo mando con su voz y surgió el orbe.
Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios....

On Eagle's Wings
by Michael Joncas
1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord
"My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"
Author: Alexander John
1st Verse:
I try not to judge
But still cry when I love...
Even when it hurts I know GOD cares
For better or worse I try and give you my soul laid bare...
In these words and rhymes
In order for us to change the world it's gotta take time...
Because we are men and women only
I try and use my pen to love and defend not so lonely...
When GOD is with us
Tears become less than dust
With fears we can adjust...
To love and glory
I'm still trying to get my head around the whole story...
But the picture
Is in Biblical literature
And in return our spiritual is richer.

A new collaboration of Anthony Moran and Richard Schletty. Tony's daughter, Tara Moran (a Broadway stage singer), will sing the song soon, replacing my voice in this demo. Please listen to more "Songs of Faith for Liturgies and Devotions" sung by Tara. Please visit www.catholicliturgyinsong.org – or use the insong.org shortcut.
Which arrangement do you like – v5, v6 or v7? Please comment below.
We will be adding a chorus of voices singing the Alleluias.
"Queen of Heaven, Rejoice - Regina Coeli" is recited during the Easter season instead of the "Angelus."

1st Verse:
The life I chose didn't start well
Like a dying rose I was dark but then the hell...
In my life was too much to handle
In such a way I had to dismantle...
Then pick up the pieces
The whole time I got a lift up from Jesus
The ultimate gift that was given for a reason...
A second chance
We are all blessed in advance...
Just sometimes its hard to see
When it's dark we can still be free...
In our hearts and in our minds
We do what we can but its GODS art that is so divine...
Every step I feel his presence
From the day we all met his been as real as blessings
And as important as...

1st Verse:
The older I get
The less shoulders get wet...
Because I've cried a lifetime
I used to hide at night time...
Until I found GOD and I tried harder
I reach for the sky but I don't want to die a Martyr...
I just want to share some words
I just want to care in this world...
My heart spills through my pen
So this art won't kill what's in my head...
I have had demons in the past and they still linger
Trying to open my scars but these fingers...
Make the sign of the cross
Take some wine cos I'm not lost...
And communion
But realising at the same time I'm only human.

We are the body of Christ, Broken and poured out,
promise of life from death, we are the body of Christ.
1. Is not the bread of life we break a sharing in the life of God?
Is not the cup of peace outpoured the blood of Christ?
We are the body...
2. How shall we make a return to God, for goodness unsurpassing?This saving cup we shall...

Refrain: To you, O Lord, I lift up, I lift up my soul, my God.
1. Your ways, O Lord, make known to me;
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth, for you are my God,
and for you I will wait.
2. Good and upright is the Lord;
he shows us the way.
He guides the meek to justice,
he teaches the humble to follow his...

Thank you for accepting me as a new member. I feel that my faith is shaky; so much happening to test it. Music reaches depths words cannot plummet. Singing is said to be akin to praying twice. I have so much to atone for to praise God for and want to go forward once more. <3
