Today is the Feast of the Exultation of the Holy Cross. You can find the scriptures for today's mass here.
When I'm feeling down and out, Lord,
help me lift high your Cross
and sing your saving love...
When I'm lost in sin and failure
help me lift high your Cross, Lord
and sing of your sweet mercy...
When I don't know where to turn, Lord,
help me lift high your Cross
and sing in praise of your fine wisdom...
When my body's weak and broken,
help me lift high your Cross, Lord
and sing your healing grace...
When I'm tempted to give up, Lord,
help me lift high your Cross
and sing with hope in your great love...
When I'm sunk in grief and sorrow
help me lift high your Cross, Lord
and sing the joy that you have promised...
When I'm worried, Lord, and fearful,
help me lift high your Cross,
and sing my faith, my trust in you...
When I'm stumbling in the darkness,
help me lift high your Cross,
and sing the glory of your light...
When I rise to live this day, Lord,
help me lift high your Cross
and sing my thanks for all your blessings...
Amen.
This is a truly fine arrangement of a well known hymn- don't miss it!

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his holy name.
1. Come, Christians, follow where our Savior trod,
our King victorious, Christ the Son of God.
2. Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
the hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.
3. Set up thy throne that earth's despair shall cease
beneath the shadows of its healing peace.
4. For thy blest Cross which does for all atone
Creation's praises rise before thy throne.
5. Each newborn servant of the Crucified
bears on the brow the seal of him who died.
