Gospel Mass

Soloists: Meredith Caskey, Carol Hunter, Ericka Kinsey, Beth Strausser,

Ken Chadwick, Keith Davis, Keith Staples

Instrumentalists: Julee An, piano; Noah Sapp, bass; Mark Carson, drum set

Louise Wilson, Director

I. Kyrie (Lord Have Mercy)

In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, in the name of the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Three in One. Oh, Lord have mercy. Kyrie eleison. Oh, Lord have mercy on me. Send us a Savior, set my soul free. Give us Your word and teach us to pray. I want to praise and serve You always. Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob look down, have mercy upon us. Oh, Christ have mercy. Christe eleison. Oh, Christ have mercy on me. Send us Your comfort, grant us Your peace. You are the way, the truth and the light. I love You more each day and each night. Jesus the Rock of salvation, the Light of the world, have mercy upon us. Oh, Lord have mercy.

II. Gloria (Glory to God in the Highest) Glory to God in the highest, peace to all men of good will. We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we adore Thee, we glorify Thee. We give thanks to Thee for Thy great glory. Lord God, King of heav’n, Father, Almighty One, Glory be to Jesus Christ, Lamb of God, the Father’s only Son. Glory to God in the highest, peace to all men of good will. Thou who takes away all the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Thou who takes away all the sins of the world, receive our prayers. Thou who sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty in heav’n have mercy on us. For only Thou art holy, only Thou art the Lord. Only Thou art holy, only Thou art most high. We come to praise Your name today, we want to serve You in ev’ry way. Let the loud hosannas ring, shouting the praises to God our King, in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, In the name of the Holy Ghost, The Blessed Three in One. Amen!

III. Credo (I Believe in God) I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost. Born of the Virgin Mary, suffer’d under Pontius Pilate, crucified, died and was buried, He descended into hell. On the third day, He arose. He ascended to heaven, from death He was set free. Now He sits at the right hand and He’s waitin’ for you and me. He will judge all the world. He will judge you and me. I believe in the Holy Spirit and the Holy catholic church. I believe Lord in one baptism for the remission of sin and rebirth. I believe in the resurrection and the communion of saints in this world. I believe when my life is over I’m going home just to live with my God. I believe in God.

IV. Acclamation (Hallelujah Praise the Lord) Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Let us praise the Lord. Praise Him with stringed instruments, Praise Him with dance. Praise Him on the psalt’ry and harp. Everything that has breath ought to praise Him. Hallelujah. Let us praise the Lord.

V. Sanctus (Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts)

Holy, holy Lord God of hosts. Hosanna be to Thee in the highest who gave me victory. There was a man sittin’ by the roadside; he was blind he could not see. Then, the Master of the earth and skies; touch’d his eyes and he look’d around saying Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts. Another man lay by a poolside; thirty-eight years with his infirmity. Then the Lord troubled the water; the man arose and he jump’d for joy saying Holy, holy Lord God of hosts. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, we will always sing Thy praise. Like the blind man and the lame man, I was lost, living in sin. Then I opened up my heart one day, I let the Savior in, Now I shout saying Holy, holy Lord God of hosts. Hosanna be to Thee in the highest Who gave me victory. Holy, holy Lord Jesus. Holy!

VI. Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. For You came to die for me, suffer’d, bled, and died, died on Calvary. In Your word You showed us how, we are trying Lord, hear our pray’r right now. Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, grant us Thy peace. Amen.
