Joyful | Trading My Sorrows

I’m trading my sorrows
I’m trading my shame
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord

I’m trading my sickness
I’m trading my pain
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord

We say, “Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord. Amen!”

Repeat all then bridge

I’m pressed but not crushed
persecuted not abandoned
struck down but not destroyed

I’m blessed beyond the curse
for His promise will endure
His joy’s gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

I’m trading my sorrows
I’m trading my shame
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord

I’m trading my sickness
I’m trading my pain
I’m laying them down
for the joy of the Lord

We say, “Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord.”
“Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes Lord. Amen!”

Reflection | Make Me A Channel of Your Peace

Make me a channel of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me bring you love,
Where there is injury your pardon Lord,
And where there’s doubt true faith in you.

O Master grant that I may never seek,
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving of ourselves that we receive.
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

Gathering | We Gather In Love

We come to gather in our weakness
to reconnect as seekers
and worship one true God
We come to gather with the broken
whose words may go unspoken
We gather all as one

United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love

United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
We gather in love

Mass Setting | Mass of Renewal

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 95 If Today You Hear His Voice

R./ If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to him.

R./ If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For he is our God,
and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.

R./ If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
“Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as in the day of Massah in the desert,
where your fathers tempted me;
they tested me though they had seen my works.”

R./ If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Preparation of the Gifts | Lord, Make Me An Instrument

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow Your love
Where there is injury, let me bring pardon
And wherever there is doubt, bring faith

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there’s despairing, let me bear Your hope
Where there is darkness, may I be light
And wherever sorrow is, always joy

O Divine Master, grant that I may seek
Not to be consoled, but to console
Not to be understood, but to understand
Not to be loved, but to love

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace
For it is in giving we receive
And in forgiving, we are forgiven
And in dying we are raised to new life

Oh, wherever there is need, let Your love be
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace

Closing | Can We Love

Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives

It’s more than raising our hands
It’s more than singing this song
It’s saying “yes” to the Giver of life
It’s righting the ways that are wrong

Can we love?
Can we lay down our lives?
Can we wear His crown of thorns?
Can we drink the cup that He drinks?
We must lay down our lives
