Gathering | The Summons
Will you come and follow me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don’t know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown
In you and you in me?
Preparation of the Gifts | We Bring Our Gifts to Your Altar
Prepare our hearts to receive You, O Lord God of hosts
Cleanse us and wash away our sins
We sing Your praise with the angels and saints at Your throne
For this is where Heaven enters in
Prepare our hearts to receive You, O Lord
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
May our sacrifice be pleasing in Your sight
Fruit of the earth and work of human hands
Which will become for us the Bread of Life
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord
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
Closing | Can We Love
It’s more than shouting God’s name
It’s more than singing His praise
It’s bringing forgiveness to injury’s wound
and hope to those imprisoned by shame
Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down
We must lay down
We must lay down
our lives
