Gathering | You Are Welcome Here
Come, all you wounded and weary
Come, all you heavy of heart
Come with your fear and your burden
Come with your pain and your scars
Come to the ocean of mercy
Be revived, renewed and refreshed
Wherever you are, no matter how far
come, find your peace and your rest
You are welcome here; come as you are
You are welcome here with open arms
Bring your burdens, bring your pain
bring your sorrow and shame
You are welcome here; come as you are

Preparation of the Gifts | There Will Be Bread
There was a gathering of thousands
But no food to satisfy them
When a child was brought before the Lord
With only loaves and fishes
Though the gift appeared to little
The Lord increased it by a thousand
As the off’ring filled the masses with the love of
God among them
There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received,
our God is come to earth
For we are bread and drink and blessing
We are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed,
there will be bread
We hear the empty cries of millions
With no food to satisfy them
And we ask what we alone can do
We feel so very helpless
Though our gifts appear too little
We must have faith He will increase them
For the God of loaves and fishes is
the Lord of earth and Heaven
There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received,
our God is come to earth
For we are bread and drink and blessing
We are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed,
there will be bread
Taste the body, drink the cup,
Know it is more than enough
To fill the hearts of humankind
With new life
There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received,
our God is come to earth
For we are bread and drink and blessing
We are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed,
there will be bread
