Gathering | We Fall Down

We fall down, we lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus

And we cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
Is the Lamb

Repeat all

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 54 The Lord Upholds My Life

The Lord upholds my life.
The Lord upholds my life.

R./ The Lord upholds my life.
The Lord upholds my life.

O God, by your name save me,
and by your might defend my cause.
O God, hear my prayer;
hearken to the words of my mouth.

R./ The Lord upholds my life.
The Lord upholds my life.

For the haughty men have risen up against me,
the ruthless seek my life;
they set not God before their eyes.

R./ The Lord upholds my life.
The Lord upholds my life.

Behold, God is my helper;
the Lord sustains my life.
Freely will I offer you sacrifice;
I will praise your name, O LORD, for its goodness.

R./ The Lord upholds my life.
The Lord upholds my life.

Preparation of the Gifts | We Are Called to Serve

We are called to serve
We are called by grace
To cherish Christ
In ev’ry face
We are called to serve
We are called by name
And in all we are
God’s love proclaim

Called beyond our human understanding
Called before the world came into view
Within your mother’s womb
Your name was known to me
For you did not choose me
No, I chose you

We are called to serve
We are called by grace
To cherish Christ
In ev’ry face
We are called to serve
We are called by name
And in all we are
God’s love proclaim

Called to be a light amid the darkness
called to help a doubting world believe
“Empowered by My Spirit,
anointed with My love,
you are called to give and share what you believe.”

We are called to serve
We are called by grace
To cherish Christ
In ev’ry face
We are called to serve
We are called by name
And in all we are
God’s love proclaim

Communion | You Alone

You alone are holy,
you alone are Lord.
You alone are worthy to be honored and adored.
Mercy you have given,
kindness you have shown.
Love is you alone.

Who of us is sinless in this place?
Who of us deserves your saving grace?
Who of us is good at all
without your blessed love
that falls upon our hearts
to heal our brokenness?

You alone are holy,
you alone are Lord.
You alone are worthy to be honored and adored.
Mercy you have given,
kindness you have shown.
Love is you alone.

What is there to do but thank You then
for the gift that we might call You friend
Greater love has not been known
than that for which You gave Your only son,
that You might see us pure and blessed

You alone are holy,
you alone are Lord.
You alone are worthy to be honored and adored.
Mercy you have given,
kindness you have shown.
Love is you alone.
Love is you alone.

Reflection | We Cry Out

Father of love, never failing to forgive
Each moment is a gift from You to live
We’re only here to tell the world about Your grace
Until the day You take us all away

We will cry out Your Name, El Shaddai, God of grace
Lord Most High, Jesus Christ
We rely on Your grace, Adonai, crowned in praise
Lord Most High, Jesus Christ

O, so we cry out Your Name, El Shaddai, God of grace
Lord Most High, Jesus Christ
We rely on Your grace, Adonai, crowned in praise
Lord Most High, Jesus Christ

Closing | Give Glory

We walk by faith, not sight
In all Your wondrous glory
Proclaiming from on high
Your sacrifice, our vict’ry

We walk by Christ the light
Our lives are for the glory
Of our King who reigns on high
Proclaiming of His vict’ry

And we will run
tell all the world that
our God has won and reigns___for___e___ver___

Give glo___ry___to___our___God
who is___and al___ways was
Singing “Al___le___lu___ia!”
Give glo___ry to___our God
