Processional Hymn

HERE I AM LORD (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
I the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
my hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Refrain
Here I am Lord. Is it I Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people's pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my word to them.
Whom shall I send?       Refrain

I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
'til their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?       Refrain

A NEW COMMANDMENT (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
A new commandment I give unto you,
that you love one another as I have loved you,
that you love one another as I have loved you.
By this shall everyone know that you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.
By this shall everyone know that you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.

REFRESH MY HEART LORD (Sunday 9am & 5pm)

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring Your love;
where there is injury, Your pardon Lord
and where there’s doubt, true faith in You.

Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, only light,
and where there’s sadness, ever joy.

Oh, 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 unto all that we receive,
and in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

Recessional Hymn

THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS MAY FALL (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
Refrain            
Though the mountains may fall
and the hills turn to dust,
yet the love of the Lord will stand
as a shelter for all
who will call on his name.
Sing the praise and the glory of God.

Could the Lord ever leave you?
Could the Lord forget his love?
Though a mother forsake her child,
He will not abandon you.    Refrain

Should you turn and forsake Him,
He will gently call your name.
Should you wander away from Him,
He will always take you back.    Refrain

Go to him when you’re weary;
He will give you eagles’ wings.
You will run, never tire,
For your God will be your strength.    Refrain
