Preparation of the Gifts | Love Never Fails

If I speak with the tongues of the earth
if the angels fill my mouth
yet do not have love
I am but a sound

If I prophesy___and understand all things
If mountains shake by my faith
without love, I am nothing at all

Love is patient
love is kind
love rejoices in the truth

It bears all things
believes all things
it hopes all things
endures all things
Love never fails

If I give away everything I own
give my body to be burned
yet do not have love
I gain nothing more

Prophecies will cease
Tongues will be silent
knowledge will be no more
the partial will pass away

Love is patient
love is kind
love rejoices in the truth

It bears all things
believes all things
it hopes all things
endures all things
Love never fails

When I was a child
I talked, thought and lived like a child
But now that I have grown
I have put these things aside

My knowledge is imperfect now
then I’ll know as I am known
that faith, hope, and love remain
and the greatest of these is love

Love is patient
love is kind
love rejoices in the truth

It bears all things
believes all things
it hopes all things
endures all things
Love never fails

We walk by faith

Nor follow where He trod
Yet in the promise we rejoice
and cry, we cry

“My Lord and God”
“You are my Lord and God”
“You are my Lord and God”
“You will always be the Lord of all of me”

Help then, O Lord
our unbelief
And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near
and seek where You are found

Then when our life
of faith is done
In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are
in full and endless sight

“My Lord and God”
“You are my Lord and God”
“You are my Lord and God”
“You will always be the Lord of all of me”

harden not your hearts
Harden not your hearts

For ours is a wondrous God
a greater King than others
His hands hold the depths of the earth
and the tops of the mountains are His

He is the Lord of our lives
He is the Lord of our lives
and we pray

If today___if today
you hear the voice of God
Open up___your heart
and listen to His word

If today___if today
you hear the voice of God
harden not your hearts
Harden not your hearts

Communion | Renew

Our Father, Maker of the heavens and the earth,
Author of the universe who imagined us,
God All-Seeing: into our humanity come;
let your kingdom be with us,
oh, let your will be done.

Lord Jesus, Son of God who sits at his right hand,
Perfect Love that became man sacrificed for us,
Pure Redeemer: into our iniquity come;
let forgiveness sweetly fall,
have mercy on us all.

Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you.
Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you, Lord, renew.

Holy Spirit, Gift of risen hope, abiding peace,
Comforter who intercedes, carries ev’ry prayer,
Moving Presence, Living Breath of living God: come,
stir the passion in our hearts;
breathe new life into us.

Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you.
Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you, Lord, renew.
Lord, renew, Lord renew.
Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you.
Renew your people, renew your promise,
renew our hearts for you.

Closing | There’s A Wideness In God’s Mercy

There is a wideness in God’s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
There’s a kindness in God’s justice
Which is more than liberty
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head

There is welcome for the sinner
And a promised grace made good
There is mercy with the Savior
There is healing in Christ’s blood
There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss

So be merciful
Just as our God is merciful
Be merciful
Just as our God is merciful to us
Let there be a wideness in our mercy
Let there be a kindness in our hearts
O___may our lives be merciful
