MORE SONGS:

*Above All by Leblanc/Baloche (Capitol CMG/LenSongs Publishing, Inc./CCLI) found in Voices As One vol. 2 and on the CD Jesus, Hope for the World  listen from SongSelect  “Crucified, laid behind the stone, you lived to die…”  (Preparation / Communion / Closing) – it actually works well for a closing song at this Liturgy.

Behold the Lamb of God by Matt Maher (spiritandsong.com) from the CD Overflow – I have also found that the short refrain from this song works well to further enhance the reading of the Passion, which is, of course, very lengthy. Together with your liturgist and priests, consider 3 or 4 points during the reading to pause and sing this refrain with the assembly.  listen on YouTube
