With ease my tongue will breathe deceitE'en as for truth I will entreat.You are that Truth! O make me beOne with you in sincerity.I fear my heart will be exposedIf, by these lies, it is not closed,And so my neighbor I misled;O, make me honest, Lord, I plead!How could I e’er your praises singAnd my life to you honor bringWhen oft I choose to live a lieRather than to your mercy fly?My heart, O Lord, to Truth attune,That with thy church I may commune;Restore thy fellowship of loveOn earth as at thy throne above.How could I e’er your praises singAnd my life to you honor bringWhen oft I choose to live a lieRather than to your mercy fly?To your mercy fly!Let the words of my mouthAnd the thoughts of my heartBe pleasing to you, O Lord!Chad Lloyd, bass; Lisa Goben, synth; Luke Morton, guitar/vocals; Oliver Lawford, drums.Words: Julia de Boer, 2020Music: Luke Morton, 2021Recorded live on Sunday, January 31st at the 11:15a service

You offer a feast, the finest of wine;You call me close, to drink and to dine.Still, I would trade the bread for the crumb,The joy of your face, to be comfortably numb.My heart's intentBroken and bent!So whatever it takes to be by your side—I’ll put it to death, my wandering eye—Just hold me, dear Jesus, keep me awake.I wanna be yours, I wanna be yoursWhatever it takes!Words & Music: Luke Morton in collaboration with students from RUF@UW, 2021.Lead vocal and synth recorded live on Sunday, January 17th 2021.

We are so foolish, you are so wise;Grant us your truth, enlighten our eyes.In our despairing, we look aboveWith expectation to your great love.O Father of glory, Reveal your powerThat brought your Beloved From cradle to grave,That ripped through the darkness To raise him from deathAnd give him the only Name that can save:Lord Jesus Christ, we hail our King!You took our place—an offering.We are impoverished; you overflowRiches beyond what we’ll ever know.In all our weakness you are so strong;We are your children, to you we belong.O Father of glory, Reveal your powerThat brought your Beloved From cradle to grave,That ripped through the darkness To raise him from deathAnd give him the only Name that can save:Lord Jesus Christ, we hail our King!You took our place—an offering.To you belongs all majesty,From age to age all authority.Hallelujah!

Dearest brother, dearest sister,Please hear and understand:We have seen him, we have touched him,Son of God and Son of Man.In the darkness we were trembling, Full of doubts and full of fears,When he came in tender mercy; With his hands he dried our tears. There is one name under heaven By which we must be saved:Jesus Christ, the King eternal, Great destroyer of the grave. There is one, there is one—One name.We’ll not hide what we’ve beheld: Spotless Lamb, for us, was slain;We’ll break the silence and will cry out,Make it known with this refrain:There is one name under heaven By which we must be saved:Jesus Christ, the King eternal, Great destroyer of the grave. There is one name under heaven By which we must be saved:Jesus Christ, the King eternal, Great destroyer of the grave. There is one, there is one—One name.Here alone is freedom and forgiveness;Here alone is refuge for the lost;Here alone is One who loves us wholly,Carried all our sin and bore the cost.There is one name under heaven By which we must be saved:Jesus Christ, the King eternal, Great destroyer of the grave. There is one name under heaven By which we must be saved:Jesus Christ, the King eternal, Great destroyer of the grave. There is one, there is one—There is one, there is one—There is one, there is one—One name.Alyssa Werner, keys; Jonathan Olson, engineer; Luke Morton, guitar and vocals.Recorded live on Sunday, November 22nd at the 11:15a service.
