Second Sunday of Easter, Rite Two – Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Somewhere Inside
Ben Ward, 2023

I’ve got a song somewhere inside
I know it’s there
But it’s out of reach tonight
In the middle of nowhere
If You could just plug it in
I can barely make it out
Turn it up
Doesn’t have to be loud
Or profound
I long to sing the song 
You put in me
Its melody
Aching with the sound

Oh….oh….
Ah…ah…
I sing to my Maker
Created to Creator
I sing to my Savior
Who’s poured on me His favor
Oh….oh….
Ah…ah…

Alive in Front of Me
Ben Ward, 2023

I don’t know why I doubt
But sometimes I do
I can come off highest highs
But then feel like I am losing
The thing that held me close to You
I’m needing something fresh and something new
You, I need You, Jesus
I need You to be
Somehow alive in front of me

Here You are
Before me now
And here I am
At Your feet I bow
Face to face
God to man
Holy here
With peace I don’t understand
