This is a great song by Matt Maher. I ordered the digital download, but the payment hasn’t cleared yet. The words are below. Note that we may have to change the song if I can’t get the music.
Recessional: Just Like You
Behold the Lamb of God
Verse
You are my Lord.
It’s you I adore.
Nothing on earth could ever take your place.
Your might humbles ev’ry heart;
the highest of heavens bow.
Nothing on earth could ever take your place.
And now we see your sacrifice,
the greatest gift, our greatest prize.
Refrain
Behold the Lamb of God!
Behold the Lamb of God
who takes away the sins of the world.
(1st time: to verse; 2nd time: to Bridge)
Bridge
We will not forget,
we will stay awake!
We will not abandon
the promise that you made.
We will not forget,
we will stay awake!
We will not abandon
the promise that you made.
Final Refrain
Behold the Lamb of God!
Behold the Lamb of God
who takes away the sins of the world.
Behold the Lamb of God!
Behold the Lamb of God
who takes away the sins of the world,
the sins of the world,
the sins of the world.

2nd Communion: Holy Is His Name -or- Mary Did You Know
Recessional: Your Grace Is Enough (SS II)
Let’s break out the drums and rock this joint!
If we decide on Mary Did You Know, we’ll work out an arrangement that the whole group can sing. This is a very powerful song that lends itself to be a solo. Considering that Kathy Mattea made this popular, and that her voice is pretty low, I’d like to try having Michele do the vocal lead for this song.
