Gathering | My Soul Is Thirsting

Refrain
My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord
Thirsting for You, my God
My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord
Thirsting for You, my God
Thirsting for You, my God

Verses
O God, You are my God
And I will always praise You
In the shadow of Your wings
I cling to You
And You hold me high

Through the day You walk with me
All the night Your love surrounds me
To the glory of Your name
I lift my hands
I sing Your praise

I will never be afraid
For I will not be abandoned
Even when the road grows long
And weary Your love will rescue me

Mass Setting | Mass of St. Ann

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd

(Start at 4:39)

The Lord is my shepherd
There is nothing I shall want

R./ The Lord is my shepherd
There is nothing I shall want

He lets me rest
In open fields so green
He leads me to the quiet streams
He gives me strength and guides me in His ways
He renews His promises each day

R./ The Lord is my shepherd
There is nothing I shall want

Repeat

He is my guide
My shepherd and my king
And in my fear, He offers peace
Though I walk through the valley
I will not be afraid
You will protect me; I’ll be saved

R./ The Lord is my shepherd
There is nothing I shall want

Repeat

You set a table before me
My cup overflows
Goodness and love will follow me
Ev’ry where I go

R./ The Lord is my shepherd
There is nothing I shall want

Repeat

I shall not want
I shall not want

Preparation of the Gifts | I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say

I heard the voice of Jesus say
“Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon My breast”
I came to Jesus as I was
So weary, worn, and sad
I found Him in a resting place
And He has made me glad

I heard the voice of Jesus say
“Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one;
Stoop down, and drink, and live”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life giving stream
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived
And now I live in Him

I will rest,
I will rest in,
I will rest in You

I heard the voice of Jesus say
“I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto Me, your morn shall rise
and all your day be bright”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my star, my sun
And in that light of life, I’ll walk
’til traveling days are done

I will rest,
I will rest in,
I will rest in You

Communion | All We Like Sheep

All we like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us turning our own separate way.
We all have sinned and fallen short of Your glory,
But Your glory is what we desire to see,
And in Your presence is where we long to be.

O Lord, show us Your mercy and grace,
Take us to Your holy place.
Forgive us our sins and heal our land,
We long to live in Your presence once again.

Taking our sickness and taking our pain,
Jesus, the sacrifice, the Lamb has been slain.
He was despised, rejected by men. He took our sin.
Draw us near to You, Father, through Jesus, Your Son,
Let us worship before You, cleansed by Your blood.

O Lord, show us Your mercy and grace,
Take us to Your holy place.
Forgive us our sins and heal our land,
We long to live in Your presence once again.

O Lord, show us Your mercy and grace,
Take us to Your holy place.
Forgive us our sins and heal our land,
We long to live in Your presence once again.

Forgive us our sins and heal our land,
We long to live in Your presence once again.

Reflection | With All I Am

Into Your hands
I commit again
with all I am
for You, Lord

You hold my world
in the palm of Your hand
and I am Yours
forever

Jesus, I believe___in You
Jesus, I belong___to You
You’re the reason that I live
the reason that I sing
with all I am

Closing | Heart of My God

Above my joys, beneath my sorrows
Lives a peace greater than my need
Before the dawn, beyond tomorrow
Love has been and evermore shall be

Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Oh, the wonderful, merciful heart of my God
Oh, the wide, wide hope of my Savior
Oh, the wonderful, beautiful heart of my God

Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Oh, the wonderful, merciful heart of my God
Oh, the wide, wide hope of my Savior
Oh, the wonderful, beautiful heart of my God
