Gathering | O Come, O Come Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice
Emmanuel___shall come to thee, O Israel
Preparation of the Gifts | 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.
Communion | There Will Be Bread
There was a gathering of thousands
but no food to satisfy them
when a child was brought before the Lord
with only loaves and fishes
Though the gift appeared too little
the Lord increased it by a thousand
as the off’ring filled___the masses with___
the love of God among them
There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received
our God is come to earth
For we are bread and drink and blessing
we are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread
We hear the empty cries of millions
with no food to satisfy them
And we ask what we alone can do
We feel so very helpless
Though our gifts appear too little
We must have faith He will increase them
For the God of loaves and fishes is
the Lord of earth and Heaven
There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received
our God is come to earth
For we are bread and drink and blessing
we are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread
When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread
Closing | Thank You, Lord
I come before You today
And there’s just one thing that I want to say
Thank You Lord
Thank You Lord
For all You’ve given to me
For all the blessings I can not see
Thank You Lord
Thank You Lord
With a greatful heart
With a song of praise
With an outstreched arm
I will bless Your name
Thank You Lord
I just wanna thank You Lord
Thank You Lord
I just wanna thank You Lord
Thank You Lord
