Here in this time, here in this place
Here we are standing face to face
Here in our hearts, here in our lives
Our God is here
Here for the broken, here for the strong
Here in this temple, we belong
Here in our hearts, here in our lives
Our God is here
And we cryRefrain
"Holy! Holy! Holy are you!"
We cry: "Holy! Holy! Holy and true!"
Amen, we do believe our God is here
Our God is here

What Thou Gavest
Verse 1
What Thou gavest for the taking,
Now as works of human making.
Let us Lord give back to Thee.
Let us Lord give back to Thee.Verse 2
These our gifts by Christ made royal,
Come from hearts contrite and loyal.
Take them Father with our love.
Take them Father with our love.Verse 3
May this bread and may this wine, then,
Born of earth be made divine when
They become Christ’s sacrifice.
They become Christ’s sacrifice.

The Lord is my Light
Verse 1
The Lord is my light, my help, my salvation.
Why should I fear?
With God I fear no one.
God protects me all my life.
With the Lord what should I dread?Refrain
The Lord is my light,
the Lord is my help,
the Lord is my salvation.Verse 2
There is one thing I ask of the Lord that I long for:
all of my days with God to be dwelling,
gazing with awe at the beauty of God,
and in wonder look on God's house.
