Gathering | Many and One
Refrain
We are many, yet we are one.
We are sep’rate, yet bound in his love.
And together we are all his hands and his feet,
bringing mercy and peace to this world.
We are many and one.
Verse 1
We are fallen but we are forgiven;
broken and scattered, yet being made whole
by our redeemer, one Lord and one savior,
the shepherd who gathers us all,
gathers us all.

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
Communion | Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
Where there is hatred
let me so love
Where there is injury
Thy pardon, Lord
Where there is doubt
let there be faith
O Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
Where there’s despair
let me bring hope
Where there is darkness
let there be light
Where there is sadness
Let there be joy
O Divine Master
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled
as to console
To be understood
as to understand
To be loved
as to love
O Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
Where there is hatred
let me so love
For it is in giving
that we receive
And it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned
And it is in dying (it is in dying)
that we are born (that we are born)
to eternal life
to eternal life
Lord, make me
an instrument
of Thy peace
An instrument
of Thy peace
Amen
