OPENING

1.    Lord, whose love in humble service    

Bore the weight of human need,    

Who upon the cross, forsaken,    

Offered mercy's perfect deed:    

We, your servants, bring the worship    

Not of voice alone, but heart,    

Consecrating to your purpose    

Ev'ry gift that you impart.

2.    Still the children wander homeless,    

Still the hungry cry for bread.    

Still the captives long for freedom,    

Still in grief we mourn our dead.    

As you Lord, in deep compassion,    

Healed the sick and freed the soul,    

Use the love your Spirit kindles    

Still to save and make us whole.

3.    As we worship, grant us vision,    

Till your love's revealing light    

In its height and depth and greatness    

Dawns upon our human sight,    

Making known the needs and burdens    

Your compassion bids us bear,    

Stirring us to faithful service,   

Your abundant life to share.

4.    Called from worship into service,    

Forth in your great name we go    

To the child, the youth, the aged,    

Love in living deeds to show.    

Hope and health, goodwill and comfort,   

 Counsel, aid, and peace we give    

That your children, Lord, in freedom,    

May your mercy know, and live.

What Wondrous Love Is This
WONDROUS LOVE

1. What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul?

2. What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
To send this precious peace
to my soul, to my soul,
To send this precious peace to my soul?

3. To God and to the Lamb
I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb,
who is the great I AM,
While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

4. And when from death I’m free,
I'll sing on, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free,
I'll sing and joyful be,
And through eternity,
I'll sing on, I'll sing on!
And through eternity, I'll sing on.

COMMUNION

Bread for the World
Bernadette Farrell

Refrain
Bread for the world:
a world of hunger.
Wine for all peoples:
people who thirst.
May we who eat
be bread for others.
May we who drink
pour out our love.

1. Lord Jesus Christ,
you are the bread of life,
broken to reach
and heal the wounds
of human pain.
Where we divide your people,
you are waiting there
on bended knee
to wash our feet with endless care.

2. Lord Jesus Christ,
you are the wine of peace,
poured into hearts once broken
and where dryness sleeps.
Where we are tired and weary,
you are waiting there
to be the way which beckons us
beyond despair.

3. Lord Jesus Christ,
you call us to your feast,
at which the rich and pow’rful
have become the least.
Where we survive on others
in our human greed,
you walk among us
begging for your ev’ry need.

SENDING FORTH

Alleluia! Raise the Gospel
Bernadette Farrell

Refrain
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Raise the Gospel over the earth!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Peace and justice bringing to birth!

1. Blessed those whose hearts are gentle.
Blessed those whose spirits are strong.
Blessed those who choose to bring forth
right where there is wrong.

2. Blessed those who work for justice.
Blessed those who answer the call.
Blessed those who dare to dream of
lasting peace for all.

3. Tremble, you who build up riches.
Tremble, you with opulent lives.
Tremble, when you meet the poor and
see Christ in their eyes.

4. Tremble, you who thirst for power.
Tremble, you who live for acclaim.
Tremble, when you find no comfort
in your wealth and fame.

5. Glory like the stars of heaven—
Glory like the sun in the sky—
Glory shines upon all people,
equal in God’s eyes.

6. Glory to the Word of Justice.
Glory to the Spirit of Peace.
Glory to the God of Love whose
blessings never cease.

Alternate Verses
1. Speak, Lord, for your servant’s list’ning,
Speak, Lord, for we’re longing to hear
Good News, that at last the promised
reign of God is near!

2. Listen to the Word now spoken,
Harden not your hearts to the call.
Jesus comes to offer
everlasting life for all!

3. Wisdom is the gift you give, Lord,
Wisdom is the blessing we seek,
Wisdom that confounds the strong and
raises up the weak!

4. Faithful, Lord, in all your words and
Faithful, Lord, in all that you do.
Faithful, in your promise to
create our world anew!

5. Joyful, Lord, the hearts that know you,
Joyful in the words that you speak:
Freedom, hope and comfort, life and
light to all who seek!

6. Holy is the gift now given,
Holy is the peace it imparts.
Holy is the Word God’s planted
deep within your hearts!

Chorus

Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

PRESENTATION AND PREPARATION OF THE GIFTS

Verse 1

Take my life and let it be consecrated
Lord to Thee
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee

Verse 2

Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my King
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee
Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
Ev'ry power as You choose

Chorus

Here am I all of me
Take my life it's all for Thee

Verse 3

Take my will and make it Thine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart it is Thine own
It shall be Thy royal throne
Take my love my Lord I pour
At Your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
Ever only all for Thee

Oh how could it be
That my God would welcome me
Into this mystery
Say take this bread take this wine
Now the simple made divine
For any to receive

See His body His blood
Know that He has overcome
Ev'ry trial we will face
And none too lost to be saved
None too broken or ashamed
All are welcome in this place
