ENTRANCE SONG
Christ be Our Light (Bernadette Farrel)
Longing for light, we wait in darkness Longing for truth, we turn to You Make us Your own, Your Holy people Light for the world to see
Christ, be our Light Shine in our hearts
Shine through the darkness Christ, be our Light
Shine in Your church gathered today
Longing for peace, our world is troubled. Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow’r to save us. Make us your living voice.
Longing for food, many are hungry. Longing for water, many still thirst. Make us your bread, broken for others, shared until all are fed.
Longing for shelter, many are homeless. Longing for warmth, many are cold. Make us your building, sheltering others, walls made of living stone.
Many the gifts, many the people, many the hearts that yearn to belong. Let us be servants to one another, making your kingdom come.

Here I Am, Lord (Dan Schutte)
VERSE 1
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?
CHORUS
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.
VERSE 2
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 words to them. Whom shall I send?
VERSE 3
I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will send the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them.
