Gather Us In (Marty Haugen)
Here in this place new light is streaming
Now is the darkness vanished away
See in this space our fears and our dreamings
Brought here to you in the light of this day
Gather us in, the lost and forsaken
Gather us in, the blind and the lame
Call to us now and we shall awaken
We shall arise at the sound of our name
We are the young, our lives are a mystery
We are the old who yearn for your face
We have been sung throughout all of history
Called to be light to the whole human race
Gather us in, the rich and the haughty
Gather us in, the proud and the strong
Give us a heart so meek and so lowly
Give us the courage to enter the song
Here we will take the wine and the water
Here we will take the bread of new birth
Here you shall call your sons and your daughters
Call us anew to be salt for the earth
Give us to drink the wine of compassion
Give us to eat the bread that is you
Nourish us well and teach us to fashion
Lives that are holy and hearts that are true
Glory to God
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will
We praise You, we bless You, we adore You
We glorify You
We gi-ve you- thanks for your great glo-ry
Lord God heavenly King, O God almighty Father
Lord Jesus Christ, Only begotten Son
Lord God Lamb of God, Son of the Father
You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us
You take away the sins of the world, receive our pray’r
You are seated at the right hand of the Father
Have mercy on us
For You alone are the Holy One
You alone are the Lord
You alone are the most high Jesus Christ
With the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father.

OFFERTORY:
Center of My Life (Paul Inwood)
Refrain:
O Lord, you are the center of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.
Keep me safe, O God, I take refuge in you.
I say to the Lord: ‘You are my God.
My happiness lies in you alone;
My happiness lies in you alone.’ [Refrain]
I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,
who even at night directs my heart.
I keep the Lord ever in my sight:
Since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm. [Refrain]
And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;
even in safety shall my body rest.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead,
nor let your beloved know decay. [Refrain]
You will show me the path of life,
the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand, at your right hand
happiness for ever [Refrain]

COMMUNION:
I Will Choose Christ (Tom Booth)
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
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]
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]
And 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. [Refrain]
I give my all to you.
A New Commandment I Give Unto You (Roy Crabtree)
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 may all know
That you are My disciples,
If you have love one for another.
By this shall all know
That you are My disciples,
If you have love one for another.
SEND FORTH:
Whatsoever You Do (Willard F. Jabusch)
Refrain:
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me.
When I was hungry, you gave me to eat;
when I was thirsty, you gave me to drink.
Now enter into the home of my Father. [Refrain]
When I was homeless, you opened your door;
when I was naked, you gave me your coat.
Now enter into the home of my Father. [Refrain]
When I was weary, you helped me find rest;
when I was anxious, you calmed all my fears.
Now enter into the home of my Father. [Refrain]
