Gathering | We Gather In Love

We come to claim the truth in Jesus
who gave His life to free us
and show us how to love

We come to light our lives on fire
With mercy, we inspire
And gather all as one

United in one Spirit
Each different in appearance
All are welcomed in the house of God
We gather in love

Preparation | We Are Called to Serve

Called to be a light amid the darkness
called to help a doubting world believe
“Empowered by My Spirit
anointed with My love
you are called to give and share what you believe”

We are called to serve
We are called by grace
To cherish Christ
In ev’ry face

We are called to serve
We are called by name
And in all we are
God’s love proclaim

Communion | Where Charity and Love Abide

Ubi caritas et amor
Deus ibi est
Deus ibi est
Where charity and love abide
There God is found
There God is found

No greater love is there than this
than to lay down your life
than to lay down your life
No greater love is there than this
than to lay down your life
than to lay down your life

Ubi caritas et amor
Deus ibi est
Deus ibi est
Where charity and love abide
There God is found
There God is found

The love of Christ has made us one
Let us rejoice in Him
Let us rejoice in Him
The love of Christ has made us one
Let us rejoice in Him
Let us rejoice in Him

Ubi caritas et amor
Deus ibi est
Deus ibi est
Where charity and love abide
There God is found
There God is found

As we are gathered into one
May we be one in heart
May we be one in mind
As we are gathered into one
May we be one in heart
May we be one in mind

Ubi caritas et amor
Deus ibi est
Deus ibi est
Where charity and love abide
There God is found
There God is found

Closing | We Are Your Love

Where You lead us
we will follow
and where You send us we shall go
With hearts wide open
we bring Your loving presence
Your light shall lead us as we go
Each step we take brings Your mercy
Each move we make brings Your love

We are Your hands, Your hands
reaching out with mercy
We are Your voice, Your voice
speaking words of freedom
Light in the dark for all to see
life-giving water for the thirsty
we are Your body
we are Your love
we are Your presence
