Hymns for Mass

Entrance

Search Me, O God

Verse 1
Search me, O God, and know my heart today
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray
See if there be some wicked way in me
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free
Verse 2
Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide

Offertory Hymn

Prodigal son

Verse 1
Father I have sinned,
help me find my way.
Remember not my sins,
just let me hear you say:
Refrain
I forgive you, I love you
You are mine, take my hand.
Go in peace, sin no more,
Beloved one.
Verse 2
Father I have turned,
my back and walked away
Depended on my strength
and lived life my own way
Verse 3
Father I have closed,
my heart to those in need.
Thought only of myself,
a victim of my greed.
Verse 4
Father I have loved,
if love’s the word to use.
I’ve played so many games,
they’ve left me so confused.
Verse 5
Father I’ve returned,
I’m home with you to stay.
Standing at your door,
knowing that you’ll say

Communion

With All I Am

Verse 1
Into Your hands, I commit again
With all I am, for You, Lord
You hold my world in the palm of Your hand
And I am Yours forever
Refrain
Jesus, I believe in You
Jesus, I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing
With all I am
Verse 2
I'll walk with You wherever You go
Through tears and joy, I'll trust in You
And I will live in all of Your ways
Your promises forever

Recessional

Hosea

Verse 1
Come back to me with all your heart.
Don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, 'though straight and tall;
so must we to others' call.
Long have I waited for your coming home to me
and living deeply our new life.
Verse 2
The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice,
With tenderness, you shall know.
Long have I waited for your coming home to me
and living deeply our new life.
Verse 3
You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy.
Long have I waited for your coming home to me
and living deeply our new life.
