Gathering | The Wideness of God’s Mercy
There is a wideness in God’s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
There’s a kindness in God’s justice
Which is more than liberty
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head
There is welcome for the sinner
And a promised grace made good
There is mercy with the Savior
There is healing in Christ’s blood
There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss
So be merciful
Just as our God is merciful
Be merciful
Just as our God is merciful to us
Let there be a wideness in our mercy
Let there be a kindness in our hearts
O___may our lives be merciful
Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 126 The Lord Has Done Great Things For Us
The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
R./ The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
When the Lord brought back the captives of Zion
we were like men dreaming
Then our mouth was filled with laughter
and our tongue with rejoicing
R./ The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
Then they said among the nations
The Lord has done great things for them
The Lord has done great things for us
we are glad indeed
R./ The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
Restore our fortunes, O Lord
like the torrents in the southern desert
Those that sow in tears
shall reap rejoicing
R./ The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
Although they go forth weeping
carrying the seed to be sown
They shall come back rejoicing
carrying their sheaves
R./ The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
The Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
Preparation of the Gifts | Grace
My heart is so proud.
My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me
as great things I have done.
And now You gently break me,
then lovingly You take me
And hold me as my Father
and mold me as my maker.
I ask you: “How many times will You pick me up,
When I keep on letting You down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?”
And You answer: ” My child, I love you.
And as long as you’re seeking My face,
You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace.”
At times I may grow weak
and feel a bit discouraged,
Knowing that someone, somewhere
could do a better job.
For who am I to serve You?
I know I don’t deserve You.
And that’s the part that burns in my heart
and keeps me hanging on.
I ask you: “How many times will You pick me up,
When I keep on letting You down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?”
And You answer: ” My child, I love you.
And as long as you’re seeking My face,
You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace.”
You are so patient with me, Lord.
As I walk with You, I’m learning
what Your grace really means.
The price that I could never pay
was paid at Calvary.
So, instead of trying to repay You,
I’m learning to simply obey You
By giving up my life to You
For all that You’ve given to me.
I ask you: “How many times will You pick me up,
When I keep on letting You down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?”
And You answer: ” My child, I love you.
And as long as you’re seeking My face,
You’ll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace.”
Communion | Who You Say I Am
Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me?
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Oh His love for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God
Yes I am
Free at last
He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes, He died for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father’s house
There’s a place for me
I’m a child of God
Yes I am
I am chosen not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me not against me
I am who You say I am
I am chosen not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me not against me
I am who You say I am
I am who You say I am
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father’s house
There’s a place for me
I’m a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father’s house
There’s a place for me
I’m a child of God
Yes I am
There is no Closing song for Lent.
