Gathering | Many and One

We are many, yet we are one.
We are sep’rate, yet bound in his love.
And together we are all his hands and his feet,
bringing mercy and peace to this world.
We are many and one.

We are fallen but we are forgiven;
broken and scattered, yet being made whole
by our redeemer, one Lord and one savior,
the shepherd who gathers us all,
gathers us all.

We are many, yet we are one.
We are sep’rate, yet bound in his love.
And together we are all his hands and his feet,
bringing mercy and peace to this world,
We are many and one.

Preparation of the Gifts | Loving and Forgiving

Loving and forgiving are You, O Lord
Slow to anger, rich in kindness
Loving and forgiving are You

All my being bless the Lord
Bless the holy name of God
All my being bless the Lord
Remembering the goodness of God

Loving and forgiving are You, O Lord
Slow to anger, rich in kindness
Loving and forgiving are You

God forgives us all our sins
Healing those who live in pain
Saving us from final death
God fills us with goodness and love

Loving and forgiving are You, O Lord
Slow to anger, rich in kindness
Loving and forgiving are You

Good and gracious is the Lord
Slow to anger, rich in love
God remembers not our sins
Forgiving and loving is God

Slow to anger, rich in kindness
Loving and forgiving are You

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…

Reflection Song | My Soul Proclaims (In honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary)

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
My spirit rejoices in my savior
For He has seen the lowliness of me
And in my heart, His love has found favor.
And holy, holy is His name
And holy is His name

His mercy is a refuge for his own
A word singing through generations
With strength he casts the mighty from their thrones
And to the lowly ones brings salvation
And holy, holy is His name
And holy is His name
And holy, holy is His name
And holy is His name

Oh who am I…that God should dwell within me
To bring this new beginning…to the world

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
The sweetness of the one who has delivered
And comes to take the sin of us away
So we may live within His light forever
And holy, holy is His name
And holy is His name
And holy, holy is His name
And holy is His name

Closing | You Are Good

Lord, You are good and Your mercy endureth forever
Lord, You are good and Your mercy endureth forever
People from every nation and tongue
From generation to generation

We worship You, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We worship You for who You are
We worship You, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We worship You for who You are
And You are good

[Instrumental Break]

People from every nation and tongue
From generation to generation

We worship You, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We worship You for who You are
We worship You, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We worship You for who You are
for who You are
for who You are
You are good!
