Gathering | Gather Us In

Here in this place
new light is streaming
now is the darkness
vanished away

See in this space
our fears and our dreamings
brought here to You
in the light of this day

Gather us in
the lost and foresaken
Gather us in
the blind and the lame

Call to us now
and we shall awaken
we shall arise
at the sound of our name

Preparation of the Gifts | All We Like Sheep

All we like sheep
have gone astray
Each of us turning our own sep’rate way
We have all sinned
and fallen short of Your glory

But Your glory is what we desire to see
And in Your presence is where
we long to be

O Lord, show us Your mercy and grace
Take us to Your holy place
Forgive our sin
and heal our land
We long to live___in Your presence once again

Communion | We Are One Body

We are one body, one body in Christ
And we do not stand alone
We are one body, one body in Christ
And He came that we might have life

For he tells us
When you eat My body and you drink My blood
I will live in you and you will live in My love
When you eat My body and you drink my blood
I will live in You and you will live in My love

We are one body, one body in Christ
And we do not stand alone
We are one body, one body in Christ
And He came that we might have life

For he tells us
Can you hear them crying, can you feel their pain
Will you feed my hungry, will you help my lame
See the unborn baby, the forgotten one
They are not forsaken, they are not unloved

We are one body, one body in Christ
And we do not stand alone
We are one body, one body in Christ
And He came that we might have life

For he tells us
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life
I am the Final Sacrifice
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life
He who believes in Me will have eternal life
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life
I am the Final Sacrifice
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life
He who believes in Me will have eternal life

I have come, your Savior, that you might have life
Through the tears and sorrow, through the toils and strife
Listen when I call you, for I know your need
Come to me, your Shepherd, for My flock I feed

We are one body, one body in Christ
And we do not stand alone
We are one body, one body in Christ
And He came that we might have life

Closing | We Are the Light of the World

Blessed are they who are poor in spirit
Theirs is the kingdom of God
Bless us, O Lord, make us poor in spirit
Bless us, O Lord, our God

We are the light of the world
may our light shine before all
that they may see the good that we do
and give glory to God
