Entrance

Save Your People

Refrain
Save your people, O Lord!
Show us the way to come home
We have been wandering far from your love
Save your people, O Lord!
Verse 1
One thing I ask, O Lord, this I seek
To dwell forever in your house
That I may gaze on your loveliness
All the days of my life

Offertory

Only a Shadow

Verse 1
The love we have for you, O Lord,
Is only a shadow of your love for us;
Only a shadow of your love for us,
Your deep abiding love.
Refrain
Our lives are in your hands,
Our lives are in your hands;
Our love for you will grow, O Lord;
Your light in us will shine.
Verse 2
The bread we take and eat, O Lord,
Is your body broken and shared with us;
Your body broken and shared with us,
The gift of your great love.

Communion

Centre of My Life

Refrain
O Lord, you are the centre of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.
Verse 1
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."
Verse 2
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.

Recessional

Christ be beside me

Verse 1
Christ be beside me,
Christ be before me,
Christ be behind me,
King of my heart;
Christ be within me,
Christ be below me,
Christ be above me
never to part.
Verse 2
Christ on my right hand,
Christ on my left hand,
Christ all around me
shield in the strife;
Christ in my sleeping,
Christ in my sitting,
Christ in my rising
light of my life.
