Christify the gifts we bring to You,
bounty of the earth receive anew.
Take and bless the work of our hands.
Christify these gifts at Your command.

Sun and moon and earth and wind and rain:
all the world’s contained in every grain.
All the toil and dreams of humankind,
all we are we bring as bread and wine.

Turn the bread and wine, our hearts implore,
to the living presence of the Lord.
Blessed and broken, shared with all in need;
all our hungers, sacred bread will feed.

With this bread and wine You Christify,
now our deepest thirst You satisfy.
We who by this bread You sanctify
draw the world for You to Christify.

We who by this bread You sanctify
draw the world for You to Christify.

Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous
Teach me to serve You as I should
To give and not to count the cost
To fight and not to heed the wounds
To toil and not to seek for rest
To labor and ask not for reward
Save that of knowing that I do Your most holy will

->Repeat

Refrain
I will choose Christ,
I will choose love,
I choose to serve.
I give my heart, I give my life,
I give my all to you.

Verse 1
How many times
must he call my name
and show to me that he is God?
And as a servant he calls to me,
“You must serve too.”

->Refrain

Verse 2
Christ, my teacher and healer,
teach my heart and heal my soul.
And as I walk this road with you,
teach me to love.

->Refrain

Verse 3
As I look upon your cross,
so too must I die with you.
And with the death of my
own desires,
I’ll rise with you.

There Will Be Bread

Verse 1
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

Refrain
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

Verse 2
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

->Refrain

Bridge
Taste the body, drink the cup,
Know it is more than enough
To fill the hearts of humankind
With new life

->Refrain
