Poem from Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude by Ross Gay

Opening Song LIKE A VAMPIRE, YOU LOVE THE BLEEDING ROSE - Brylavia Midlewisette

YOU LEARN (Alanis Morissette)

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone

Yeah, oh

I recommend walking around naked in your living room

Yeah

Swallow it down (What a jagged little pill)

It feels so good (Swimming in your stomach)

Wait until the dust settles

You live, you learn

You love, you learn

You cry, you learn

You lose, you learn

You bleed, you learn

You scream, you learn

VAMPIRE (Olivia Rodrigo)

'Cause I've made some real big mistakes

But you make the worst one look fine

I should've known it was strange

You only come out at night

I used to think I was smart

But you made me look so naive

The way you sold me for parts

As you sunk your teeth into me, oh

Bloodsucker, fame fucker

Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire

THE ROSE (Bette Midler)

Some say love, it is a river

That drowns the tender reed

Some say love, it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger

An endless aching need

I say love, it is a flower

And you, its only seed

BLEEDING LOVE (Leona Lewis)

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you

They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth

My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding

Keep, keep bleeding love

I keep bleeding

I keep, keep bleeding love

Keep bleeding

Keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open

CUTS LIKE A KNIFE (Bryan Adams)

(Na na na na na na na)

Now it cuts like a knife!

But it feels so right

Yeah! It cuts like a knife

Oh, but it feels so right

Welcome

Song - TO RUN A THOUSAND MILES ON EMPTY (I’M GONNA BE BREATHLESS) - Jackessa Browlton & The Procorrchicks

BREATHLESS - The Corrs

(Go on, go on)

The daylight's fading slowly

But time with you is standing still

I'm waiting for you only

The slightest touch and I feel weak

I cannot lie

From you, I cannot hide

And I'm losing the will to try

Can't hide it

Can't fight it 

So go on, go on

Come on, leave me breathless

Tempt me, tease me

Until I can't deny this

Loving feeling

Make me long for your kiss

Go on, go on

Yeah, come on

READY TO RUN - The Chicks

When the train rolls by

I'm going to be ready this time

When the boy gets that look in his eye

I'm going to be ready this time

When my momma says I look good in white

I'm going to be ready this time

Oh yeah

Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready to run

All I'm ready to do is have some fun

What's all this talk about love

Ready to run

A THOUSAND MILES - Vanessa Carlton

And I need you

And I miss you

And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you tonight

I’M GONNA BE (500 MILES) - The Proclaimers

But I would walk five hundred miles

And I would walk five hundred more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand

Miles to fall down at your door

RUNNING ON EMPTY - Jackson Browne

I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Running on, running on empty

Running on, running blind

Running on, running into the sun

But I'm running behind

Song - STARTING A LIGHT CARDIGAN PLACE - Chraylorgie Muswaplegers

STARTING OVER - Chris Stapleton

Well, the road rolls out like a welcome mat

To a better place than the one we're at

And I ain't got no kind of plan

But I've had all of this town I can stand

And this might not be an easy time

There's rivers to cross and hills to climb

Some days, we might fall apart

And some nights might feel cold and dark

And it don't matter to me

Wherever we are is where I wanna be

And, honey, for once in our life

Let's take our chances and roll the dice

I can be your lucky penny

You can be my four-leaf clover

Starting over

CARDIGAN - Taylor Swift

'Cause I knew you

Stepping on the last train

Marked me like a bloodstain, I

I knew you

Tried to change the ending

Peter losing Wendy, I

I knew you

Leaving like a father

Running like water, I

And when you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs

The smell of smoke would hang around this long

'Cause I knew everything when I was young

I knew I'd curse you for the longest time

Chasing shadows in the grocery line

I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired

And you'd be standing in my front porch light

And I knew you'd come back to me

You'd come back to me

And you'd come back to me

And you'd come back

LIGHT ON - Maggie Rogers

If you keep reaching out

Then I'll keep coming back

But if you're gone for good

Then I'm okay with that

If you leave the light on

Then I'll leave the light on (Light on, light on, light on)

And I am finding out

There's just no other way

That I'm still dancing at the end of the day

If you leave the light on

Then I'll leave the light on (Light on, light on, light on)

I KNOW A PLACE - MUNA

'Cause I know

I know a place we can go

Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon

Lay down their weapon

Just give me trust and watch what'll happen

'Cause I know

I know a place we can stay

Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon

Lay down their weapon

Don't you be afraid of love and affection

Just lay down your weapon

Music during Communion

Closing Song -WHAT’S THE TRUSTFALL WAY OF MY LIFE? IT IS LOUD TEARS GOING ON FOR ME - Marvnonnafer Chesterley D!blonk

WHAT’S GOING ON - Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother

There's too many of you crying

Brother, brother, brother

There's far too many of you dying

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some loving here today

WHAT’S UP – 4 Non Blondes

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out what's in my head

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

And I take a deep breath and I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

"What's going on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

I said "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey

Hey-ey-ey

I said "Hey, what's going on?"

DON’T CRY FOR ME, ARGENTINA - Madonna

And as for fortune, and as for fame

I never invited them in

Though it seemed to the world, they were all I desired

They are illusions

They're not the solutions they promised to be

The answer was here all the time

I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me, Argentina

The truth is, I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance

DON’T CRY OUT LOUD - Melissa Manchester

Don't cry out loud

Just keep it inside

And learn how to hide your feelings

Fly high and proud

And if you should fall

Remember you almost had it all

TRUSTFALL - P!nk

Jump with me, come with me, burn like the sun

We'll talk, then we'll cry, then we'll laugh 'til we're done, oh my

It's like we're out our minds

We've been running for our lives

We've been hiding from the light

We've been far too scared to fight for what we want tonight

Close your eyes and leave it all behind

Go where love is on our side

It's a trust fall, baby

It's a trust fall, baby

You and I and everyone alive

We can run into the fire

It's a trust fall, baby

Yeah, it's a trust fall, baby

What if we just fall?

THAT’S THE WAY IT IS - Céline Dion

Oh, when you want it the most

There's no easy way out

When you're ready to go

And your heart's left in doubt

Don't give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that's the way it is

(I’VE HAD) THE TIME OF MY LIFE - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes

Because

I've had the time of my life

No, I never felt this way before

Yes, I swear it's the truth 

And I owe it all to you

'Cause I had the time of my life

And I've searched through every open door

'Til I found the truth

And I owe it all to you

Benediction
