Fifth Sunday in Lent
March 21, 2010 .....10:55 a.m.

All who love and serve your city, all who bear its daily stress;
All who cry for peace and justice, all who curse and all who bless:
In your day of loss and sorrow, in your day of helpless strife,
Honor, peace and love retreating, seek the Lord who is your life.

Anthem .....On the Cross at Calvary ..... The Chancel Choir

Weeping, weeping, my Lord’s weeping by the tree for me...
Walking, walking, my Lord’s walking with his cross for me...
Dying, dying, my Lord’s dying on the cross for me.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Dying, dying, my Lord’s dying on the cross for me.

Patrick Liebergen
