Gathering | We Gather In Love
We come to claim the truth in Jesus
who gave His life to free us
and show us how to love
We come to light our lives on fire
With mercy, we inspire
and gather all as one
United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
We gather in love
Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 103 The Lord Is Kind and Merciful
The Lord is kind and merciful
The Lord is kind and merciful
R./ The Lord is kind and merciful
The Lord is kind and merciful
Bless the Lord, o my soul
And all my being
Bless His holy name
Bless the Lord, o my soul
And forget not all His benefits
R./ The Lord is kind and merciful
The Lord is kind and merciful
He pardons all your iniquities
Heals all your ills
He redeems your life from destruction
Crowns you with kindness and compassion
R./ The Lord is kind and merciful
The Lord is kind and merciful
Merciful and gracious is the Lord
Slow to anger and abounding in kindness
Not according to our sins does He deal with us
Nor does He requite us according to our crimes
R./ The Lord is kind and merciful
The Lord is kind and merciful
Preparation of the Gifts | Lord, Make Me An Instrument
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow Your love
Where there is injury, let me bring pardon
And wherever there is doubt, bring faith
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there’s despairing, let me bear Your hope
Where there is darkness, may I be light
And wherever sorrow is, always joy
O Divine Master, grant that I may seek
Not to be consoled, but to console
Not to be understood, but to understand
Not to be loved, but to love
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace
For it is in giving we receive
And in forgiving, we are forgiven
And in dying we are raised to new life
Oh, wherever there is need, let Your love be
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace

Closing | Can We Love
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 our lives
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 our lives
