Prayer Hymn Holy Ground Medley
This is holy ground,
we're standing on holy ground
For the Lord is present,
and where God is, is holy (repeat)
We are standing on holy ground
For I know that there
are angels all around.
Let us praise, Jesus now
We are standing in His presence,
oh holy ground
These are holy hands,
He's given us holy hands
The Lord works through us and
so these hands are holy. (repeat)

Thy Word, is a lamp unto my feet

still you're there right beside me.
Nothing will I fear
as long as you are near,
please be near to the end.

Words of Institution
L. For I received from the Lord
what I also delivered to you,
that the Lord Jesus on the night
he was betrayed took bread,
and when he had given thanks,
he broke it and said,
R: This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
L: In the same way also the cup, after supper saying,
R: This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
L: For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
