Winds of God (traditional)
I feel the winds of God today, today my sail I lift.
though heavy oft with drenching spray and torn with many a rift
if hope but light the water's crest and Christ my bark will use
I'll seek the seas at his behest and brave another cruise
It is the wind of God that dries my vain regretful tears
until with braver thoughts shall rise the purer brighter years
if cast on shores of selfish ease or pleasure I should be
Lord let me feel your freshening breeze and I'll put back to sea.
If ever I forget thy love and how that love was shown
lift high the blood red flag above, it bears thy name alone
great pilot of my onward way, though wilt not let me drift
I feel the winds of God today, today my sail I lift.
Prodigal words and music by Jodi Penner
Young boy ran through the door tosseled hair aglow
and he gave kisses and smiles pure and good
well he wandered far away hardened heart of a stone
breaking in the cold, dirty and alone
But he still belongs to you, he still belongs to you.
Like waves crash on the shore, he still belongs to yo-u
I remember Christmas day; red patterned tie.
And the blinking lights cast a glow on years to come
and he still belongs to you, he still belongs to you
Like waves crash on the shore, he still belongs to yo-u
Oh, Oh...
May your children rise and bless
May the Lord keep you in grace
May He hem you behind and before
May you go in love
And I still belong to you, I still belong to you
Like a bird in winter's flight, I still belong to yo-u
Oh, Oh...
Tree In a Storm words and music by Scott Baker
That cause can never be lost or stayed
which takes the course of what God has made
and is not trusting in walls and towers
but slowly growing from seed... to flowers.
Each noble service that has been wrought
was first conceived as a fruitful thought
each worthy cause with a future glorious
by quietly growing becomes...victorious.
Ah, ah...
Thereby itself like a tree it shows
that high it reaches as deep it goes
and when the storms are its' branches shaking
it deeper root in the soil...is taking.
Be then, no more by a storm dismayed.
for by it the full-grown seeds are laid.
and though the tree by its' might it shatters
What then, if thousands of seeds...it scatters.
Kyrie words and music by Scott Baker
Lord, Lord Jesus
Lord Jesus Christ, Have mercy.
On us, on us, have mercy.
Mercy, mercy, have mercy...

(Inspired by Henrik Górecki Symphony #3)
O my love, what have you done?
O my love where have you gone to?
My darling, my loved one
You are my heart you are my soul
You are the word that makes me whole
My darling, My loved one
My heart's as cold as all these blood stained stones
There's nothing left except your prayer... and your bones
O my love, what did they do?
And would they do it if they knew?
My darling, my loved one
You told me, "Mother don't you weep"
When they took you in the street
My darling, My loved one
This cup of bitterness sticks in my throat
This wine, these tears, your breathe...and this hope
In this palace prison cell, heaven descends into a hell
for my darling, my loved one
Won't you sing again for me?
Won't you blossom happily?
My darling, my loved one
O my love, what have you done?
O my love, where have you gone to?
They That Sow words and music by Scott Baker
When the Lord released our bonds, we were like the ones who dream
then our mouths filled with laughter and our tongues resounded with joy
They that sow in tears, they that sow in tears, they that sow in tears shall come
and reap again in joy.
Then said they to the nations, the Lord has done great things.
Turn again our captivity Lord as streams in the south flow free.
They that sow in tears, they that sow in tears, they that sow in tears shall come
and reap again in joy.
He that goes weeping on his way and beareth forth good seed
surely shall come again with joy, bringing with him his sheaves
They that sow in tears, they that sow in tears, they that sow in tears shall come
and reap again in joy.
I feel the winds of God today, today my sail I lift.
though heavy oft with drenching spray and torn with many a rift
if hope but light the water's crest and Christ my bark will use
I'll seek the seas at his behest and brave another cruise
It is the wind of God that dries my vain regretful tears
until with braver thoughts shall rise the purer brighter years
if cast on shores of selfish ease or pleasure I should be
Lord let me feel your freshening breeze and I'll put back to sea.
If ever I forget thy love and how that love was shown
lift high the blood red flag above, it bears thy name alone
great pilot of my onward way, though wilt not let me drift
I feel the winds of God today, today my sail I lift.
