	Cross	Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song; sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful. --Psalm 149:1
	Invitatory Bead	Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. --James 5:13b
	Cruciform Bead	Sing with me, Lord.
	Week Beads	Clear my mind that I may understand the music set before me. Steady my breathing that my notes may be sure. Soften my lips that my words will come naturally. Open my ears that I may hear the beauty of these tones. Lift up my soul that I may feel the music within me. Strengthen my voice that I may sing with conviction. Bring forth from me the song of your love.
	Exit Cross	Creator of all beauty. As you have given melodies, tunes and great harmonies of sound, be with us as we join in practice, that our voices will compliment, our range of sound be unique and our temperament be focused on giving joyful praise. We ask that you fill us with the awareness of the voices around us, knowing that without them our songs of praise would not be as sweet. All this we ask in your name that we may be better able to make a joyful noise.  Amen.
