Brother, sister, let me serve you
Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too.  (enter instruments)

We are pilgrims on a journey
We are trav'llers on the road;
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load

I will hold the Christ-light for you
In the night-time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
Speak the peace you long to hear.

When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony,
Borne of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony.

Brother, sister, let me serve you
Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YculmbiRhME

Refrain:
Glory and praise to our God,
Who alone gives light to our days.
Many are the blessings He bears,
To those who trust in His ways.

We the daughters and sons of Him,
Who built the valleys and plains.
Praise the wonders our God has done,
In every heart that sings.

In His wisdom He strengthens us,
Like gold that's tested in fire.
Though the power of sin prevails,
Our God is there to save.

Every moment of every day,
Our God is waiting to save.
Always ready to seek the lost,
To answer those who pray.

God has watered our barren land
And spent his merciful rain
Now the rivers of life run full for
Anyone to drink.

Offertory 609 In bread we bring you Lord 
http://youtu.be/4kwps6rU1NA
http://youtu.be/heXlciNl2CU

In bread we bring you Lord, our body's' labour
In wine we offer you our spirit's grief.
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour,
But stand united now, one in belief.

O we have gladly heard your word, your holy word
And now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring.
Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew,
Our life belongs to you, our Lord and King.

The bread we offer you is blessed and broken,
And it becomes for us our spirit’s food.
Over the cup we bring your Word is spoken;
Make it your gift to us your healing blood.

Take all that daily toil plants in our heart’s poor soil,
Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream.
The chances we have missed, the graces we resist,
Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

Not to be served but to serve
And give Your life that we might live

REFRAIN:
This is our God, the Servant King.
He calls us now to follow Him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King.

There in the garden of tears
My heavy load He chose to bear;
His heart with sorrow was torn,
Yet not my will, but Yours he said.

Come see His hands and his feet,
The scars that speak of sacrifice
Hands that flung stars into space
To cruel nails surrendered

So let us learn now to serve,
And in our lives enthrone Him
Each other's needs to prefer
For it is Christ we're serving

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3hkmFu1JCM

Cantor:
If you would follow me,
follow where life will lead:
Do not look for me among the dead,
For I am hidden in pain, risen in love;
There is no harvest without sowing of grain.

Refrain (all:)
All that is hidden will be made clear.
All that is dark now will be revealed.
What you have heard in the dark
proclaim in the light;
What you hear in whispers
proclaim from the housetops.

Cantor:
If you would honour me,
Honour the least of these:
You will not find me dressed in finery.
My Word cries out to be heard;
breaks through the world:
My Word is on your lips and lives in your heart.
Refrain)

Choir:
If you would speak of me,
live all your life in me.
my ways are not the ways that you would choose;
my thoughts are far beyond yours,
as heaven from earth:
If you believe in me my voice will be heard.
(Refrain)

Choir:
If you would rise with me,
rise through your destiny:
do not refuse the death which brings you life,
for as the grain in the earth
must die for rebirth,
So I have planted your life deep within mine.

http://youtu.be/7RGgS4kyGWI

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, thy morn shall rise,
and all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my Star, my Sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till traveling days are done.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

His word my hope secures.

As long as life endures.

As the deer pants for the water
So my soul longs after you
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship you

Refrain:
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone will my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship you

Only you can satisfy

You're my friend and you are my Father
Even though you are my King
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything

203 As earth that is dry
http://youtu.be/e2eEmih8vHw

As earth that is dry and parched in the sun lies
Waiting for rain,
My soul is a desert, arid and waste;
It longs for your word, O Lord.

Refrain:
Come to the waters, all you who thirst,
Come, now, and eat my bread.

Though you have no money,
come, buy my corn
and drink my red wine.
Why spend precious gold on what will not last?
Hear me, and your soul will live. (refrain)

As one on a journey strays from the road
and falls in the dark,
my mind is a wanderer, choosing wrong paths
and longing to find a star. (refrain)

The Lord is your light,
the Lord is your strength;
Turn back to him now.
For his ways are not the ways you would choose,
And his thoughts are always new. (refrain)

As rain from the mountains falls on the land
and brings forth the seed,
the word of the Lord sinks deep in our hearts,
creating the flower of truth. (refrain)

Final 721 O Lord my God (how great thy art)
http://youtu.be/nhvaDJTUmrU

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
(refrain)

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
(refrain)

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
(refrain)
