Entrance | Table of Plenty


Refrain
Come to the feast of heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

1. Your fields will flower in fullness;
your homes will flourish in peace.
For I, the giver of home and harvest,
will send my rain on the soil.

2. My bread will ever sustain you
through days of sorrow and woe.
My wine will flow like a sea of gladness
to flood the depths of your soul.

Offertory | Parable


Refrain
To ev’ry thing there is a season
A time to be born
And a time to die
[A time to plant
And a time for harvest
A time to meet
And a time to part]

Replace brackets after 1st verse
[A time to speak
And a time for silence
A time to wound
And a time to heal]

Replace brackets after 2nd verse
[A time for joy
And a time for grieving
A time to seek
And a time to loose]

1. A sower went out to sow the seed
Some of it fell upon the path
Some fell on shallow, rocky soil
And some among choking thorns

2. Nothing can grow in barren soil
Briars and ravens take their toll
Still there is grain a hundred fold
From seed that took root and grew

3. God’s word is like the farmer’s seed
Rooted in joyful, loving hearts
Growing like grain in fertile ground
A harvest that overflows

Communion | Remembrance


Verse 1
Oh, how could it be
That my god would welcome me
into this mystery?
Say ‘eat this bread, take this wine’
Now the simple made divine
for any to receive
By your mercy, we come to your table,
By Your grace you are making us faithful

Chorus
Lord, we remem-ber You,
And remembrance leads us to worship
And as we wor-ship You,
Our worship leads to communion
We respond to your invitation;
We remem-ber you

Verse 2
See his body, his blood-
Know that he has overcome
Every tril we will face
None to lost to be saved
None too broken or ashamed
All are welcome in this place.
By your mercy, we come to your table,
By Your grace you are making us faithful

Chorus

Bridge
Dying, you destroyed our death
Rising, you restored our life
Lord Jesus, come in glory
Lord Jesus, come in glory
Lord Jesus, come in glory
Lord Jesus, come in glory

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise
The city of our God, the holy place
The joy of the whole earth
Great is the Lord in whom we have the victory
He aids us against the enemy
We bow down on our knees

And Lord, we want to thank You for the works
You’ve done in our lives
And Lord, we trust in Your unfailing love
For You alone are God eternal
Throughout earth and Heaven above
