Opening Song: 'The Lord Almighty Reigns'

Chorus:

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, The Lord reigns

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, The lord Almighty reigns

Refrain:

He has shown His awesome power, He has triumphed mightily.

He's the victor over darkness and the grave!

He has broken chains that bound us, He has set the pris'ner free!

By His own great mercy we are saved!

First Reading: Ezekiel 36: 24-28

'For I will take you away from among the nations, gather you from all the foreign lands, and bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle clean water upon you to cleanse you from all your impurities, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you, taking from your bodies your stony hearts and giving you natural hearts. I will put my spirit within you and make you live by my statutes, careful to observe my decrees. You shall live in the land I gave your fathers; you shall be my people, and I will be your God.'

Responsorial Psalm: 'For You Are My God' (Psalm 16)

For you are my God.

You alone are my joy: defend my, O Lord.

Second Reading: 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10

'Come to him, a living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God, and, like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Once you were no people

But now you are God's people;

You had not received mercy

But now you have received mercy.'

Gospel: Mark 10: 13-16

'And the people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.'

Let the poor man say I am rich in Him,

Let the river flow, Let the river flow.

Closing Song: 'Jesus Is the One Who Saves'

All glory to the Father of life.

Praise be to the Holy Spirit,

and to the shining light of this world.

Jesus is the one who saves.

You're the first-born of all of the sons,

King of the new creation.

You're the brother who makes us all one.

Jesus is the one who saves.

Thank you, Jesus, for rising for us,

The Father's love complete and glorious.

Now we claim the vict'ry you give to us.

Jesus is the one who saves.

Just call upon the name of the Lord.

Ask him for his Holy Spirit.

You'll find the one truth of this world.

Jesus is the one who saves.

Jesus is the one who saves.

Jesus is the one who saves.
