A very poppy version of the Creed; A great way for youth to state their faith.

“send Your grace” (CCLI # 4957278) works well as a kind of all-purpose opening song. Today’s readings focus on God’s mercy, the song “please forgive me” (CCLI # 4957209) is an excellent prayer of personal penance.

This song was the fruit of several funerals I did. It made me realize how short life really is and reminded me to not take things for granted.

For this Sunday, the song “our offering” (CCLI # 4957182) would be a great preparation of gifts song. It echoes the themes of service and hospitality from the first reading and the Gospel. “for the body” (CCLI # 4956860) works well this week as it did last week. Finally, “it’s you” (CCLI # 4957113) would be a great communion meditation song - focusing not on being anxious, but rather on Jesus.

This is probably my favorite song of the entire 40 days! It works well as a communion song.
