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

Offertory | Christify

Christify the gifts we bring to You,
bounty of the earth receive anew.
Take and bless the work of our hands.
Christify these gifts at Your command.

Sun and moon and earth and wind and rain:
all the world’s contained in every grain.
All the toil and dreams of humankind,
all we are we bring as bread and wine.

Turn the bread and wine, our hearts implore,
to the living presence of the Lord.
Blessed and broken, shared with all in need;
all our hungers, sacred bread will feed.

With this bread and wine You Christify,
now our deepest thirst You satisfy.
We who by this bread You sanctify
draw the world for You to Christify.

We who by this bread You sanctify
draw the world for You to Christify.

Communion | Our Father

Hear our pray’r
We are Your children
and we’ve gathered here today
We’ve gathered here to pray

Hear our cry
Lord, we need Your mercy
And we need Your grace today
Hear us as we pray

Our Father, who art in Heaven
hallowed be Thy name
Our Father, hear us from Heaven
Forgive our sins, we pray

Hear our song
as it rises to Heaven
May Your glory fill the earth
As the waters cover the sea

See our hearts
And remove anything
that is standing in the way
of coming to You today

Our Father, who art in Heaven
hallowed be Thy name
Our Father, hear us from Heaven
Forgive our sins, we pray

Recessional | Give Thanks

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now, let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich”
Because of what the Lord has done for us

Give thanks
We give thanks
We give thanks
