Gathering | Our God Is Here

Here in this time
here in this place
here we are standing face to face

Here in our hearts
here in our lives
our God is here

Here for the broken
here for the strong
here in this temple we belong

Here in our hearts
here in our lives
our God is here

And we cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy are You!”
We cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy and true!”
Amen, we do believe our God is here
Our God is here

Here in the Word
God is revealed
here where the wounded can be healed

Here in our hearts
here in our lives
our God is here

Here we become
what we receive
here in this Eucharistic feast

We are His body
living as one
our God is here

And we cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy are You!”
We cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy and true!”
Amen, we do believe our God is here
Our God is here

Preparation of the Gifts | Graves Into Gardens

I searched the world
But it couldn’t fill me
Man’s empty praise
And treasures that fade
Are never enough

Then You came along
And put me back together
And every desire
Is now satisfied
Here in Your love

Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You

I’m not afraid
To show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord, You’ve seen ’em all
And You still call me friend

‘Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
There’s not a place
Your mercy and grace
Won’t find me again

Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You

Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You

Our Father, hear us from Heaven
forgive our sins, we pray

Communion | Let Me Hear Your Voice

Your voice is loud enough to make the mountains tremble
Your voice is soft enough to calm the raging sea
Your voice is firm enough to start the first creation
Your voice is whispering Your mysteries to me

Your voice proclaims Your goodness from the highest heavens
Your voice is roaring as I face my enemies
Your voice is gentle as You calm my greatest worries
Your voice was meant to simply speak words just to me

For You, O Lord, I wait in the dark
Deep in the silence of my heart

Let me hear Your voice
Let me hear Your voice
Deep in the silence of my heart
let me hear Your voice

Your voice is living in the sound of children laughing
Your voice is on our lips as we say our last goodbyes
Your voice is hidden in the lines of every scripture
For it is in our hearts that Your voice comes alive

For You, O Lord, I wait in the dark
Deep in the silence of my heart

Let me hear Your voice
Let me hear Your voice
Deep in the silence of my heart
let me hear Your voice

[Instrumental]

For You, O Lord, I wait in the dark
Deep in the silence of my heart

I can hear Your voice
I can hear Your voice
Deep in the silence of my heart
let me hear Your voice

Deep in the silence of my heart
let me hear Your……voice
