Preparation of the Gifts | Here I Am, Lord
I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in deepest sin
My hand will save
I, who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear My light to them
Whom shall I send
Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord
if You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart
I, the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people’s pain
I have wept for them, they turn away
I will break their hearts of stone
Give them hearts for love alone
I will speak My word to them
Whom shall I send
Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord
if You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart
I, the Lord of wind and flame
I will tend the poor and lame
I will set a feast for them
My hand will save
Finest bread I will provide
’til their hearts be satisfied
I will give My life to them
Whom shall I send
[Final modulation]
Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord
if You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart
I will hold Your people in my heart
Communion | What A Beautiful Name
You were the Word at the beginning
One With God the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in You our Christ
What a beautiful name it is
What a beautiful name it is
the name of Jesus Christ, my King
What a beautiful name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a beautiful name it is
the name of Jesus
You didn’t want heaven without us
So Jesus, You brought heaven down
My sin was great, Your love was greater
What could separate us now
What a wonderful name it is
What a wonderful name it is
the name of Jesus Christ, my King
What a wonderful name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful name it is
the name of Jesus
What a wonderful name it is
the name of Jesus
Death could not hold You,
the veil tore before You
You silenced the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring,
the praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again
You have no rival, You have no equal
Now and forever, God, You reign
Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the glory
Yours is the name above all names
What a powerful name it is
What a powerful name it is
the name of Jesus Christ, my King
What a powerful name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus
You have no rival, You have no equal
Now and forever, God, You reign
Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name, above all names
What a powerful name it is
What a powerful name it is
the name of Jesus Christ, my King
What a powerful name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus
Closing | I Will Sing Forever
I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
I will celebrate the wonder of Your name
For the word that You speak is a song of forgiveness
And a song of gentle mercy and of peace
Let us wake at the morning and be filled with Your love
And sing songs of praise all our days
For Your love is as high as the heavens above us
And Your faithfulness as certain as the dawn
I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
I will celebrate the wonder of Your name
For the word that You speak is a song of forgiveness
And a song of gentle mercy and of peace
I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
For You are my refuge and my strength
You fill the world with Your life-giving spirit
That speaks Your word
Your word of mercy and of peace
[Coda]
And I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
Yes I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
