Gathering | I Am the Way
Do not let your hearts be troubled
You have faith in God; have faith also in me
In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places
If there were not, would I have told you so?
And where I am going, you know the way
Thomas said, “How can we know the way?”
“I am the Way,
And I am the Truth,
And I am the Life,” says the Lord,
says the Lord
Do you not believe that I am in the Father
And that the Father is dwelling in me?
The words that I speak to you, I do not speak on my own
But the Father is speaking through
“Amen, I say to you, if you believe in Me,
what you ask in My name, I will do.”
‘Cause “I am the Way,
And I am the Truth,
And I am the Life,” says the Lord,
says the Lord

Preparation of the Gifts | Let It Be Done

The instrument He needed
To bring our world the King of Kings

Calling him to stand
And take the virgin as his wife
And teach her child to be a man

Reflection | Lady of Knock
There were people of all ages
gathered ’round the gable wall
Poor and humble men and women
little children at your call
We are gathered here before you
and our hearts are just the same
Filled with joy at such a vision
as we praise your name
Golden rose
Queen of our land
All my cares and troubles cease
As we kneel with love before you
Lady of Knock
my Queen of Peace
Though your message was unspoken
still the truth in silence lies
As we gaze upon your vision
and the truth I try to find
Here I stand with John the teacher
and with Joseph at your side
and I see the Lamb of God
And the altar glorified
Golden rose
Queen of our land
All my cares and troubles cease
As we kneel with love before you
Lady of Knock
my Queen of Peace
Closing | With One Voice
Take the Word and go out to every land
Shine the light of Christ for all to see
May the lives of those we touch
Sing praise to God above
Let us sing; we’ll sing
With one voice, we’ll pass the Word along
With one voice, bring justice to the world
And with all the angels, we’ll spread the goodness of God
With all power and glory, the Word of God shall reign
Repeat Refrain
