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.

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 | I Am the Bread of Life (Come and Follow Me)

(Men)
I am the bread of Life
I am the hope in night
I am the door wide open
I am the shepherd’s might
I am the truth and light
I am the way and life
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me

(Women)
I am bread for the world
hope for the hopeless
Come to me, and know that I’ll always be there
with my arms open wide
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me

(Parts together)
I am the bread of Life
I am the hope in night
I am the door wide open
I am the shepherd’s might
I am the truth and light
I am the way and life
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me

I give my heart to those in sorrow
I come to those who are in need
hope for today and for tomorrow
light for all who want to see

(Parts together)
I am the bread of Life
I am the hope in night
I am the door wide open
I am the shepherd’s might
I am the truth and light
I am the way and life
I am who am and I am for you
Come and follow me

Closing | We Are Your Love

We are Your hands, Your hands
reaching out with mercy
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
