Gathering | The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my life, my life’s refuge
of whom should I be afraid

Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call
be gracious and answer me
For You, O Lord, my heart is longing
With all my heart
Your face I seek

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my life, my life’s refuge
of whom should I be afraid

[Skip to 2:19]

I believe that I shall see the goodness
of the Lord in the land of the living
Be strong; let your heart take courage
Wait for the Lord
Wait for the Lord

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is my life, my life’s refuge
of whom should I be afraid

Repeat

Preparation | We Bring Our Gifts to Your Altar

We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
We lay them at the foot of Your throne
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
We offer them to praise You alone
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord

We bring our hearts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
Unite them with the heart of Your Son
For He offered His life as a ransom for sin
By His death the victory is won
We bring our hearts to Your altar, O Lord

Prepare our hearts to receive You, O Lord God of hosts
Cleanse us and wash away our sins
We sing Your praise with the angels and saints at Your throne
For this is where Heaven enters in
Prepare our hearts to receive You, O Lord

We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
May our sacrifice be pleasing in Your sight
Fruit of the earth and work of human hands
Which will become for us the Bread of Life
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord

We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord

Communion | You Are My All In All

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
Seeking You as a precious fool
Lord, to give up, I’d be a fool
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising again, I bless Your name
When I fall down, You pick me up
When I am dry, You fill my cup

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Repeat then modulate

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Worthy is Your name
Worthy is Your name

Closing | Give Thanks

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

Repeat

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

Repeat

Give thanks
We give thanks
We give thanks
