Posted: July 31, 2022 in Uncategorized

Gathering | Song of Farewell

May the choirs of angels
come to greet you
May they speed you to paradise
May the Lord enfold you
in His mercy
May you find eternal life

The Lord is my light and my help
it is He who protects me from harm
The Lord is the strength of my days
before whom should I tremble with fear

May the choirs of angels
come to greet you
May they speed you to paradise
May the Lord enfold you
in His mercy
May you find eternal life

Mass Setting | Mass of Christ the Savior

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

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
In verdant pastures, He gives me repose
Beside restful waters, He leads me
He refreshes my soul

R./ The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want
The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want

He guides me in right paths for His name’s sake
Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil for You are at my side
with Your road and Your staff that give me courage

R./ The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want
The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want

You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes
You anoint my head with oil
my cup overflows

R./ The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want
The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want

Only goodness and kindness
follow me all the days of my life
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
for years to come

R./ The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want
The Lord is my shepherd
there is nothing I shall want

Preparation of the Gifts | Offering of Love

You saved me and brought me to life,
You clothed me and brought back my sight.
I’ll be what you want. I’ll go where You lead
For You are my saviour, my God

My days and nights I offer You
my life, my soul I give to You
My dreams, my thoughts, my everything
in joy and praise i’ll sing Your name.
This offering I give I offer You myself.
My Lord receive this offering of love
My Lord receive this offering of love

Communion | Be With You

Savior of my soul
I confide in You through all my darkest moments
In You, I find my peace
My comfort when I’m weak
I trust in You, through storm and raging seas

Faithful, You’re my God
You’re the glory and the lifter of my head
Your light, it fills my days
It leads me in Your ways
Forever, I surrender all to You

Refrain
And I live to worship You
My Jesus, You’re the only one for me
Nothing will ever take Your place
My precious savior
Who can stand between my Lord and me

Lord, I live to honor You
And I long to bring my life an offering
Take me higher
Draw me deeper
I give all to be with You

Return to Top and repeat refrain

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 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

Gathering | Better Is One Day

How lovely is Your dwelling place
O Lord almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for You
For here my heart is satisfied
within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
than thousands elsewhere

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
than thousands elsewhere, than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek
To see Your beauty
to find You in the place Your glory dwells

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
than thousands elsewhere

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
than thousands elsewhere, than thousands elsewhere

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 15 He Who Does Justice

He who does justice
will live in the presence
of the Lord, of the Lord

R./ He who does justice
will live in the presence
of the Lord, of the Lord

One who walks blamelessly and does justice;
who thinks the truth in his heart
and slanders not with his tongue.


R./ He who does justice
will live in the presence
of the Lord, of the Lord


Who harms not his fellow man,
nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;
by whom the reprobate is despised,
while he honors those who fear the LORD.

R./ He who does justice
will live in the presence
of the Lord, of the Lord

Who lends not his money at usury
and accepts no bribe against the innocent.
One who does these things
shall never be disturbed.


R./ He who does justice
will live in the presence
of the Lord, of the Lord

Preparation of the Gifts | 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
Be still, be still and know that He is God
Be still, be still and know that He is God

Communion | Adonai

One single drop of rain
Your salty tear became blue ocean
One tiny grain of sand turning in your hand
A world in motion
You’re out beyond the furthest Morning Star
Close enough to hold me in Your arms

Adonai, I lift up my heart and I cry
My Adonai
You’re the Maker of each moment
Father of my hope and freedom
Oh, my Adonai

One timid faithful knock
Resounds up the Rock of Ages
One trembling heart and soul
Becomes a servant bold and courageous
You call across the mountains and the seas
I answer from the deepest part of me

Adonai, I lift up my heart and I cry
My Adonai
You’re the Maker of each moment
Father of my hope and freedom
Oh, my Adonai

From age to age you reign in Majesty
And today You’re making miracles in me

[Modulate]

Adonai, I lift up my heart and I cry
My Adonai
You are the Maker of each moment
Father of my hope and freedom
Oh, my Adonai

Closing | I Love to Be In Your Presence

I love to be in Your presence
With Your people singing praises
I love to stand and rejoice
Lift my hands and raise my voice

I love to be in Your presence
With Your people singing praises
I love to stand and rejoice
Lift my hands and raise my voice

You set my feet to dancing
You fill my heart with song
You give me reason to rejoice, rejoice.

I love to be in Your presence
With Your people singing praises
I love to stand and rejoice
Lift my hands, lift my hands, lift my hands
and raise my voice
