Gather Us In (Marty Haugen)

YouTube link to the song


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. 

A-men

YouTube link to the song


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]

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

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,

That you love one another As I have loved you,

Whatsoever You Do (Willard F. Jabusch)

YouTube link to the song


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]
