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

I want you more than gold or silver
Only you can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye

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

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
who abide in His shadow for life,
say to the Lord: "My refuge,
my rock in whom I trust!"

Refrain:
And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear:
under His wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.  (Refrain)

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come. (Refrain)

For to His angels He's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Refrain)

And hold you in the palm of His hand.



Offertory: 360 As I Kneel Before You

As I kneel before you,
as I bow my head in prayer,
take this day, make it yours
and fill me with your love.

Refrain:
Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu.

All I have I give you,
Ev'ry dream and wish are yours;
mother of Christ, mother of mine,
present them to my Lord.

As I kneel before you,
and I see your smiling face,
ev'ry thought, ev'ry word
is lost in your embrace.


Communion: 
When it's all been said & done (soloist)


Your Grace is sufficient (soloist)



808 The love I have for you (Only a shadow)

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.

 

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.

 

3. Our own belief in you, O Lord,

is only a shadow of your faith in us,

only a shadow of your faith in us,

your deep and lasting faith.

 

4. The dreams we share today, O Lord,

is only a shadow of your dreams for us:

only a shadow of your dreams f:r us:

if we but follow you.

 

4. The joy we share today, O Lord,

is only a shadow of your joys for us,

only a shadow of your joys for us,

when we meet face to face.

May the Lord enfold you in his mercy.
May you find eternal life.
