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
Communion | O Come to the Altar
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
the Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
the precious blood of Jesus Christ
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there’s no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes, a new life is born
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
the Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
the precious blood of Jesus Christ
Repeat
Oh, what a Savior
isn’t He wonderful
Sing alleluia
Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
for He is Lord of all
Sing alleluia
Christ is risen
Repeat as many times as necessary
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you’ve found…
Closing | There’s a Wideness in 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
