Song Ideas for Friday, 4/18/2014 - Good Friday

Here are some song possibilities for April 18th - Good Friday: The Passion of the Lord

*Above All by Leblanc/Baloche (Integrity/CCLI) (found in the collection Voices As One vol. 2)

Behold the Lamb of God by Matt Maher (spiritandsong.com) (from the CD "Overflow") - I have found that the refrain from this song works well to further enhance the reading of the Passion, which is, of course, very lengthy. Together with your liturgist and priests, consider 3 or 4 points during the reading to pause and sing this refrain with the assembly.

Behold the Wood by Dan Schutte (OCP) (from the 2-CD set "Walking the Sacred Path")

I Put My Life In Your Hands by David Haas (GIA) (from the CD "No Longer Strangers")

In Christ Alone by Getty/Townend (CCLI #3350395)

*Nothing by Chris Rice (Word Music/CCLI #2424552) (found in the collection Voices As One vol. 2)

*Once Again by Matt Redman (EMI/CCLI) (found in the collection Voices As One vol. 2)

*Strength for the Journey by Michael John Poirier (found in the collection Voices As One vol. 1) - I have found that the refrain from this song works well to further enhance the reading of the Passion, which is, of course, very lengthy. Together with your liturgist and priests, consider 3 or 4 points during the reading to pause and sing this refrain with the assembly.

Take Up Our Cross by Hart/Stephan (spiritandsong.com) (from the CD "Amid Passing Things")
