Entrance | Table of Plenty

Come to feast of Heaven and earth
Come to the table of plenty
God will provide for all that we need
Here at the table of plenty

O come and eat without money
Come to drink without price
My feast of gladness will feed
your spirit with faith and fullness of life

Come to feast of Heaven and earth
Come to the table of plenty
God will provide for all that we need
Here at the table of plenty

Offertory | Better Than a Hallelujah

God loves a lullaby
in a mother’s tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah, sometimes

God loves the drunkard’s cry
The soldier’s plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah, sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

A woman holding on for life
A dying man giving up the fight
are better than a Hallelujah. sometimes

Tears of shame for what’s been done
the silence when the words won’t come
are better than a Hallelujah, sometimes

And we pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
are better than a Hallelujah

Communion | There Will Be Bread

There was a gathering of thousands
but no food to satisfy them
when a child was brought before the Lord
with only loaves and fishes

Though the gift appeared too little
the Lord increased it by a thousand
as the off’ring filled___the masses with___
the love of God among them

There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received
our God is come to earth

For we are bread and drink and blessing
we are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread

We hear the empty cries of millions
with no food to satisfy them
And we ask what we alone can do
We feel so very helpless

Though our gifts appear too little
We must have faith He will increase them
For the God of loaves and fishes is
the Lord of earth and Heaven

There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received
our God is come to earth

For we are bread and drink and blessing
we are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread

When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread

We give thanks

Entrance | We Gather In Love

We come to gather in our weakness
to reconnect as seekers
and worship one true God

We come to gather with the broken
whose words may go unspoken
We gather all as one

United in one Spirit
Each different in appearance
All are welcomed in the house of God
We gather in love

We come to claim the truth in Jesus
who gave His life to free us
and show us how to love

We come to light our lives on fire
With mercy, we inspire
And gather all as one

United in one Spirit
Each different in appearance
All are welcomed in the house of God
We gather in love

Mercy, justice truth
with more than words, we worship You
Thank You, God, for we are blessed
What we seek is holiness

United in one Spirit
Each different in appearance
All are welcomed in the house of God
We gather in love
We gather in love

Reflection | Prayer of St. Francis (for Leonie, Aiko, Jhen, Dennis, JR, Hendrie)

Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace

Where there is hatred
let me so love
Where there is injury
Thy pardon, Lord
Where there is doubt
let there be faith

O Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace

Where there’s despair
let me bring hope
Where there is darkness
let there be light
Where there is sadness
Let there be joy

O Divine Master
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled
as to console

To be understood
as to understand
To be loved
as to love

O Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace

Where there is hatred
let me so love
For it is in giving
that we receive
And it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned

And it is in dying (it is in dying)
that we are born (that we are born)
to eternal life
to eternal life

Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
An instrument
of Thy peace
Amen
