Gathering | Trading My Sorrows
I’m trading my sorrows
I’m trading my shame
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord
I’m trading my sickness
I’m trading my pain
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord
We say, “Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord. Amen!”
Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord. Amen!”

Preparation of the Gifts | Here I Am, Lord
I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in deepest sin
My hand will save
I, who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear My light to them
Whom shall I send
Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord
if You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart
I will hold Your people in my heart

Closing | We Are Your Love
Where You lead us
we will follow
and where You send us we shall go
With hearts wide open

Each step we take brings Your mercy
Each move we make brings Your love
We are Your hands, Your hands

We are Your voice, Your voice
speaking words of freedom
Light in the dark for all to see
life-giving water for the thirsty
we are Your body
we are Your love
we are Your presence
We are Your body
we are Your love
we are Your presence
