[Bm] There's a question that's haunted me over the last couple of years and the question
[D] is this, what if the [G] way we worship is not [D] just an expression of our faith, [A] but is part
of what shapes our faith?
[Bm] The church has actually believed this about worship and prayer for [F#m] centuries.
They've known that the way we worship [G] becomes the way that we believe, which in turn becomes
the way that we live.
So [A] I've been taking a long [Bm] hard look at the way that I've been contributing to corporate
worship, [F#m] wanting to see if our songs and our stories are [G] really speaking of Jesus and the
gospel and salvation [A] in as clear of a way as they could.
And what [D] I've learned about the old [G] historic liturgies of the church [A] is that they were
all sort of put together in a way that told a story.
[Bm] They moved in a progression all the way leading up to [F#m] Christ and the [A] Eucharist.
We tell the story of our salvation.
[B] This project, The Mystery of Our Faith, is six songs put together in a narrative.
It moves through six moments.
It starts with celebration and then it moves [G#m] into proclamation where there's a song that
is based on a paragraph in the Nicene [F#] Creed called For the Life of the World.
And then we move into this moment of invocation with a song [E] called Grace Flows [A#] Freely Down,
asking the Lord [G#m] to turn his face toward us.
From there we come to a [B] place of confession with a song called We Confess.
The lyrics of the song are based from [G#m] an old prayer of confession from the Anglican Book
of Common Prayer.
And here is the moment where we say to God, [F#] yes, we need you, have mercy on us.
From there we move through a moment of absolution and forgiveness and [E] we come to this place
of invitation maybe, where we say to one another, the Lord be with you and also with [F#] you, and
we're reminded that we're coming together [B] to the table of the Lord.
The final song, The [E] Mystery of Faith, is a song [E] that tells a bit about the [F#] body and the
blood and the spirit of God and the second coming of Christ.
It's a song that speaks [B] of that very proclamation the church has said for [E] centuries, the memorial
acclamation, which are these [F#] words, Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again.
[F#m] [A] The songs on this project, I think, can be used in any worship set, in any setting, but
my hope is that you'll catch the larger story of this project, that you'll feel yourself
being moved along this journey, reenacting the great story of our salvation and by the
end of it, you too will be in awe and in adoration [D] of Christ and at [A] the great mystery of our faith.
