Mass Setting | Mass of Renewal

Preparation of the Gifts | We Bring Our Gifts to Your Altar

We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
We lay them at the foot of Your throne
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
We offer them to praise You alone
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord

We bring our hearts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
Unite them with the heart of Your Son
For He offered His life as a ransom for sin
By His death the victory is won
We bring our hearts to Your altar, O Lord

Prepare our hearts to receive You, O Lord God of hosts
Cleanse us and wash away our sins
We sing Your praise with the angels and saints at Your throne
For this is where Heaven enters in
Prepare our hearts to receive You, O Lord

We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord God of hosts
May our sacrifice be pleasing in Your sight
Fruit of the earth and work of human hands
Which will become for us the Bread of Life
We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord

We bring our gifts to Your altar, O Lord

Communion | Miracle of Grace

Miracle of grace
mystery of faith
calling us to venture to the deep
Though our senses fail
Your graces still prevail
and we become that love that we receive

Bread of Life
Bread of Life
Those who eat this bread shall live and never die
Bread of Life
Bread of Life
Your true presence in this holy sacrifice
Bread of Life

Unworthy though we are
You feed the hungry heart
with bread come down from heaven above
And like a grain of wheat
we fall down at Your feet
dying here with You, Oh, let us rise

Bread of Life
Bread of Life
Those who eat this bread shall live and never die
Bread of Life
Bread of Life
Your true presence in this holy sacrifice
Bread of Life
Bread of Life
Bread of Life

Your faithfulness revealed
in this covenant You’ve sealed
with Your very body and Your blood
Come claim your bride again
with love that cannot end
for what God joins no one can divide

Bread of Life

Those who eat this bread shall live and never die
Bread of Life

Your true presence in this holy sacrifice

Closing | With One Voice

Take the Word and go out to every land
Shine the light of Christ for all to see
May the lives of those we touch
Sing praise to God above
Let us sing; we’ll sing

With one voice, we’ll pass the Word along
With one voice, bring justice to the world
And with all the angels, we’ll spread the goodness of God
With all power and glory, the Word of God shall reign…shall reign…shall reign
