Good Friday Gathering
Good Friday:
Psalms 22:
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer;
and by night but find no rest.
Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.
In you our ancestors trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
To you they cried and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
But I am a worm and not human,
scorned by others and despised by the people.
All who see me mock me;
they sneer at me; they shake their heads;
“Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver—
let him rescue the one in whom he delights!”
Yet it was you who took me from the womb;
you kept me safe on my mother’s breast.
On you I was cast from my birth,
and since my mother bore me you have been my God.
Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is no one to help.
Many bulls encircle me;
strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
they open wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax;
it is melted within my breast;
my mouth is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
For dogs are all around me;
a company of evildoers encircles me;
they bound my hands and feet.
I can count all my bones.
They stare and gloat over me;
they divide my clothes among themselves,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
But you, O Lord, do not be far away!
O my help, come quickly to my aid!
Deliver my soul from the sword,
my life from the power of the dog!
Save me from the mouth of the lion!
From the horns of the wild oxen you have rescued me.
I will tell of your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him;
stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
For he did not despise or abhor
the affliction of the afflicted;
he did not hide his face from me
but heard when I cried to him.
From you comes my praise in the great congregation;
my vows I will pay before those who fear him.
The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the Lord.
May your hearts live forever!
All the ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
shall worship before him.
For dominion belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
To him, indeed, shall all who sleep in the earth bow down;
before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,
and I shall live for him.
Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord
and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn,
saying that he has done it.
Have You Forsaken Me (Bb)
Oh God, have You forsake me?
Forsaken me, forsaken me
Oh God, have You forsaken me?
Forsaken me, forsaken me
My God, have You forsaken me?
Forsaken me, forsaken me
My God, have You forsaken me?
Forsaken me
Bridge
my groanings, my words are
so far from help
I cry out, all night long
there’s no answer, and I have no rest (2X)
My God, have You forsaken me?
Forsaken me, forsaken me
My God, have You forsaken me?
Forsaken me, forsaken me

Verses on hope and transition
Blown Away (D)
Verse 1
Oh troubled Messiah
You prayed through the night
Unbearable sorrow
The world on Your mind
Betrayed by the kiss of a friend
You were taken
By Your own free will
Rejected and disowned
By those You came to heal
Stripped of Your clothes
You were mocked
You were beaten
Made a King of fools
A crown of sorrow
Driven deep into your brow
Yet You made no sound
Chorus 1
What You went through to love me
I’ll never understand
What blows my mind away is
You love me as I am
Verse 2
They called for Barabbas
A King for a thief
Parading Your kindness
Like rags through the streets
Draped with the weight of the world
On Your shoulders
As You climbed that hill
A burden far too great
For flesh and bone to bear
You stretched out Your arms
As You welcomed those Roman nails
Your body frail
The very hands that shaped the world
Hung up to bleed
Lifted on high crucified
Him who knew no sin
The Nazarene
The Son of Man
The Lamb of God
Emmanuel
Given to die
Bridge
Precious Redeemer
Lamb that was slain
Hope for the hopeless
Lifter of shame
Friend to the sinner
Grace to my soul
Death is defeated
Now my sin is gone
And I’m blown away
Yeah I’m blown away
Verse 3
Crushed by the weight of the world
That You came to save
You took my place
Your blood as rivers flowing
Freely to the ground
Yielding Your spirit
You let out a holy cry
As You gave Your life
Oh Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani
Oh my Jesus Christ
Chorus 2
What You went through to love me
I’ll never understand
What blows my mind away is
You’d do it all again
​
Now Behold the lamb
now behold the Lamb
(Thank You) the Precious Lamb of God
Born into sin that I may live again
The Precious Lamb of God
now behold the Lamb
The Precious Lamb of God
(Thank You) born into sin that I may live again
The Precious Lamb of God
Holy is the Lamb
The Precious Lamb of God
Why You love me so, Lord
I shall never know
The Precious Lamb of God
Holy is the Lamb
The Precious Lamb of God
Why You love me so, Lord
I shall never know
The Precious Lamb of God
Well, I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
Nothing But The Blood
Verse 1
What can wash away my sins
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Chorus
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Verse 2
Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Not of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Verse 3
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For The Cross (Eb)
Verse 1
The life You gave
Your body was broken
Your love poured out
You bled and You died for me
There on the cross
You breathed Your last as You were crucified
You gave it all for me
Chorus 1
Hallelujah what a Savior
Hallelujah what a friend
Hallelujah King forever
We thank You for the cross
Verse 2
There in the ground
Sealed in the darkness
Lifeless laid
The frame of the Father's Son
In agony He watched His only Son be sacrificed
He gave it all for me
Verse 3
But on that day
What seemed as the darkest hour
A violent hope broke through and shook the ground
And as You rose
And the light of all the world was magnified
As You rose in victory
Chorus 2
Hallelujah it is finished
Hallelujah it is done
Hallelujah King forever
And we thank You for the cross
(REPEAT)
And we thank You for the cross
Bridge
Oh my sins are forgiven
You paid the ransom for me
Ending
Though our sins are scarlet
You have made us white as snow
