Here is the sequence from our 2007 Celtic Selah Service Tour
BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD / ALLELUIA
(Bell / Johnson)
Behold the Lamb of God,
Behold the Lamb of God.
He takes away the sin,
The sin of the world.
PRAYER (from the Orthodox tradition)
O Lord, we look upon thy Cross with both grief and hopefulness. For upon it, thou, the life of all, wast nailed. O Saviour, thou hast opened paradise to the thief who turned to thee in faith, and thou hast counted him worthy of blessedness when he confessed to thee crying, ‘O Lord remember me’. Accept us like him, as we cry: We all have sinned, in thy merciful kindness despise us not.
JESUS, REMEMBER ME (Taizé)
Jesus, remember me,
When you come into Your kingdom
Jesus, remember me,
When you come into Your kingdom
RESPONSIVE PRAYER (St. Patrick)
–From Psalm 8
Leader: Our God is the God of all.
People: The God of heaven and earth,
of the sea and of the rivers;
The God of the sun and of the moon and of all the stars;
The God of the lofty mountains and of the lowly valleys.
Leader: He has His dwelling around heaven and earth,
and sea, and all that in them is.
People: He inspires all,
He gives life to all,
He dominates all,
He supports all.
He lights the light of the sun.
He furnishes the light of the night.
He has made springs in dry land . . .
Leader: He is the God of heaven and earth,
of sea and rivers, of sun, moon and stars,
of the lofty mountain and the lowly valley,
All: He is the God above heaven,
and in heaven and under heaven. Amen.
CHRIST BEFORE ME (Johnson)
-From St. Patrick and Psalm 139
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I rise.
Christ in my journey,
Christ in my heart.
Christ go before me,
Christ be my shield.
Christ deep within me,
Christ in my heart.
A QUIET KNOWING Instrumental (Johnson)
BE THOU MY VISION (Irish)
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Nought be all else to me, save that Thou art-
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true child;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever be fall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
VOWS Instrumental (Johnson & Dunning)
PRAYER (St. Columba)
The path I walk, Christ walks it.
May the Land in which I am in be without sorrow.
May the Trinity protect me wherever I stay;
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Bright angels walk with me.
Dear presence – in every dealing…
May every path before me be smooth;
May man, woman and child welcome me.
THE KING OF LOVE (Irish)
The King of Love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never.
I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine forever.
Confused and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me.
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing brought me.
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill,
With you, dear Lord, beside me.
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.
And so through all the length of days,
Your goodness fails me never.
Good Shepherd may I sing Your praise,
Within Your house forever.
DOWN BY THE GLEN (Irish)
BLESS THE LORD (Taizé)
Bless the Lord, my soul,
And bless God’s holy name.
Bless the Lord, my soul,
Who leads us into life.
THE LORD’S PRAYER – Matthew 6: 9-13
(Music by Johnson)
SILENT PRAYER
TOWARDS CALVARY Instrumental (Johnson)
REMEMBER (Moss)
Remember, remember, remember the grace divine.
Remember, remember, His Spirit is with us.
Remember the body, remember the blood,
Remember the grace divine.
Remember the Father, remember the Son,
His Spirit is with us.
PRAYER (David Adam)
Eternal God and Father,
we thirst for your love,
we long for your presence,
we yearn for your peace.
Come, Lord, restore us that we may live to your glory;
through him who gives us the water of life,
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
FLUTE SOLO (Dunning)
CREATOR OF THE STARRY HEIGHT (7th Century)
Creator of the starry height,
Thy people’s everlasting Light;
Jesu, Redeemer, save us all,
And hear thy servants when they call.
At Thy great name, exalted now,
All knees in lowly homage bow;
All things in heaven and earth adore,
And own Thee King forever more.
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might and glory be,
From age to age eternally.
WAYFARER Instrumental (Johnson & Dunning)
BENEDICTION (Johnson)
May your heart find grace,
May your soul know peace,
May your mind be renewed.
And may your eyes see the light,
May your ears hear the glory,
Of Jesus Christ in our midst.
PRAYER (based on an ancient Jewish prayer)
Christ – wherever I go – only Thou!
Christ – wherever I stand – only Thou!
Just Thou; again Thou! always Thou! Thou! Thou!
When things are good, Thou!
When things are bad – Thou! Thou, Thou.
Amen. Alleluia.
