Gathering | Awake, O Sleeper

In the darkest times of life
when our lights refuse to shine
You are there
You are there

Don’t let your hearts be troubled
Don’t let your hearts be troubled

Awake, O sleeper
Arise from slumber
Christ is calling your name

Preparation of the Gifts | We Bring Our Gifts to Your Altar

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 | Take My Life

Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise
Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for Thee

Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from Thee
Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
ev’ry power as You choose

Here am I___all of me
Take my life___it’s all for Thee

Repeat

Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine
Take my heart, it is Thine own
it shall be Thy royal throne
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
at Your feet it’s treasure story
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee

Closing | A Rightful Place

Beauty ever ancient and new,
breaking through our deafness so we hear you.
Shattering the darkness of night,
a new dawn is rising to bring your light
to all the world.

Let us live our lives so that all might see
that our hearts are restless till they rest in thee.
Let us build your kingdom in truth and grace
so that all might know they have a rightful place.
so that all might know they have a rightful place.
so that all might know they have a rightful place.
