Entrance | Our God Is Here

Here in this time
here in this place
here we are standing face to face

Here in our hearts
here in our lives
our God is here

Here for the broken
here for the strong
here in this temple we belong

Here in our hearts
here in our lives
our God is here

And we cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy are You!”
We cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy and true!”
Amen, we do believe our God is here
Our God is here

Here in the Word
God is revealed
here where the wounded can be healed

Here in our hearts
here in our lives
our God is here

Here we become
what we receive
here in this Eucharistic feast

We are His body
living as one
our God is here

And we cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy are You!”
We cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy and true!”
Amen, we do believe our God is here
Our God is here

Offertory | In Every Age

Long before the mountains came to be
and the land and sea and stars of the night
through the endless seasons of all time
You have always been
You will always be

In ev’ry age, O God
You have been our refuge
In ev’ry age, O God
You have been our hope

Destiny is cast, and at Your silent word
we return to dust and scatter to the wind
A thousand years are like a single moment gone
as the light that fades
at the end of day

In ev’ry age, O God
You have been our refuge
In ev’ry age, O God
You have been our hope

Teach us to make use of the time we have
Teach us to be patient even as we wait
Teach us to embrace our ev’ry joy and pain
to sleep peacefully
and to rise up strong

In ev’ry age, O God
You have been our refuge
In ev’ry age, O God
You have been our hope

Communion | So Beautiful

Lord, gather Your people
to the table of everlasting life
Blessed and broken, You’ve poured out
Your body and blood

So beautiful
so wonderful
So beautiful
Your sacrifice

Bread from Heaven
Cup of everlasting life
In this meal we share
the Body of Christ

So beautiful
so wonderful
So beautiful
Your sacrifice

Nothing else can satisfy
It’s for You alone I hunger
Spirit and life You provide
for Your people

So beautiful
so wonderful
So beautiful
Your sacrifice
