Gathering | Our God Is Here
Here in the Word
God is revealed
here where the wounded can be healed
Here in our hearts
here in our lives
Our God is here
Here we become
what we receive
here in this Eucharistic feast
We are His body
living as one
Our God is here
And we cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy are You!”
We cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy and true!”
Amen, we do believe our God is here
Our God is here
And we cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy are You!”
We cry, “Holy! Holy! Holy and true!”
Amen, we do believe our God is here
Our God is here
Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 78 The Lord Gave Them Bread From Heaven
The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
R./ The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
What we have heard and know,
and what our fathers have declared to us,
We will declare to the generation to come
the glorious deeds of the LORD and his strength
and the wonders that he wrought.
R./ The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
He commanded the skies above
and opened the doors of heaven;
he rained manna upon them for food
and gave them heavenly bread.
R./ The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
Man ate the bread of angels,
food he sent them in abundance.
And he brought them to his holy land,
to the mountains his right hand had won.
R./ The Lord gave them bread from heaven. (x2)
Preparation of the Gifts | We Walk by Faith
We walk by faith and not by sight
No gracious words we hear
From Christ who spoke as none e’er spoke
But we believe Him near
We may not touch the hands and side
Nor follow where He trod
Yet in the promise we rejoice and cry
We cry, “My Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You will always be the Lord of all of me”
Help then O Lord our unbelief
And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near
And seek where You are found
Then when our life of faith is done
In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are
In full and endless sight
“My Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You will always be the Lord of all of me”
Repeat Refrain if necessary
