Gathering | Christ In Me, Arise
Christ in me arise and dispel all the darkness
Christ in me arise with Your power and Your strength
Christ in me pour out Your blessing and healing
Christ in me arise
and I shall rise with You
Be now my vision
Open these eyes
showing me all that I must see
Onward to the Kingdom
You are the way
Arise in me and I shall rise with You
Christ in me arise and dispel all the darkness
Christ in me arise with Your power and Your strength
Christ in me pour out Your blessing and healing
Christ in me arise
and I shall rise with You
Be now my footsteps
leading the way
taking me where I must go
Onward to the Kingdom
You are the way
Arise in me and I shall rise with You
Christ in me arise and dispel all the darkness
Christ in me arise with Your power and Your strength
Christ in me pour out Your blessing and healing
Christ in me arise
and I shall rise with You
Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.
R./ The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.
He lets me rest in open fields so green.
He leads me to the quiet streams.
He gives me strength and guides me in His ways.
He renews His promises each day.
R./ The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.
He is my guide, my shepherd and my king,
and in my fear He offers peace.
Though I walk through the valley, I will not be afraid.
You will protect me; I’ll be saved.
R./ The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want,
The Lord is my shepherd:
there is nothing I shall want.
Preparation | Altar of Hope (Be Still)
Quiet your spirit
Open your heart
Draw close and enter
just as you are
All are invited
together with Heaven
and witness the myst’ry
at the altar of hope
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Though earth be shaken
though mountains quake
God is our refuge
where fear fades away
Rest in the silence
and be filled with His peace
as grace overtakes us
at the altar of hope
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
We place at the altar
the gifts of ourselves
Our prayers of thanksgiving
together are blessed
With anticipation
in the stillness we wait
Our off’ring returns to
us at the altar of hope
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Communion | Here I Am
Refrain
Here I am, standing right beside you
Here I am; do not be afraid
Here I am, waiting like a lover
I am here; here I am
Verses
Do not fear when the tempter calls you
Do not fear even though you fall
Do not fear; I have conquered evil
Do not fear; never be afraid
I am here in the face of ev’ry child
I am here in ev’ry warm embrace
I am here with tenderness and mercy
Here I am; I am here
I am here in the midst of ev’ry trial
I am here in the face of despair
I am here when pardoning your brother
Here I am; I am here
Reflection | I Know That My Redeemer Lives
I know that my Redeemer lives
the One who calls me home
I long to see God face to face
to see with my own eyes
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
I know that I shall one day see
the goodness of the Lord
when God will wipe away our tears
and death will be no more
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
The last day I shall rise again
shall be remade like God
My home shall be by God’s own side
the dying, rising Lord
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives
that I shall rise again
Closing | On Eagle’s Wings
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
who abide in His shadow for life
say to the Lord, “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust”
And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
And hold you in the palm of His hand
The snare of the fowler will never capture you
and famine will bring you no fear
under His wings your refuge
His faithfulness your shield
And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
And hold you in the palm of His hand
