Entrance: 475 Gather us in
http://youtu.be/ruaV6pmFGAM
Here in this place,
new light is streaming,
Now is the darkness vanished away,
See in this space our fears and our dreamings,
Brought here to you in the light of this day.
Gather us in-
the lost and forsaken,
Gather us in-
the blind and the lame;
Call to us now,
and we shall awaken,
We shall arise at the sound of our name.
We are the young-
our lives are a myst’ry,
We are the old –
who yearn for your face,
We have been sung throughout all of hist’ry,
Called to be light to the whole human race.
Gather us in-
the rich and the haughty,
Gather us in-
the proud and the strong;
Give us a heart so meek and so lowly,
Give us the courage to enter the song.
Here we will take the wine and the water,
Here we will take the bread of new birth,
Here you shall call your sons and your daughters,
Call us anew to be salt for the earth.
Give us to drink the wine of compassion,
Give us to eat the bread that is you;
Nourish us well, and teach us to fashion
Lives that are holy and hearts that are true.
Not in the dark of buildings confining,
Not in some heaven, light-years away,
But here in this place the new light is shining,
Now is the Kingdom, now is the day.
Gather us in and hold us forever,
Gather us in and make us your own;
Gather us in-
all peoples together,
Fire of love in our flesh and our bone.

Refrain:
Take our bread, we ask You,
Take our hearts, we love You,
Take our lives, oh Father,
We are Yours, we are Yours.
Yours as we stand at the table You set,
Yours as we eat the bread our hearts can't forget.
We are the signs of Your life with us yet;
We are Yours, we are Yours.
Your holy people stand washed in Your blood,
Spirit filled, yet hungry, we await Your food.
Poor though we are, we have brought
Ourselves to You:
We are Yours, we are Yours.

889 Jesus Christ is waiting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5b15lTnGm0
Jesus Christ is waiting, waiting in the streets;
no one is his neighbour, all alone he eats.
Listen, Lord Jesus, I am lonely too.
Make me, friend or stranger,
fit to wait on you.
Jesus Christ is raging, raging in the streets,
where injustice spirals
and real hope retreats.
Listen, Lord Jesus, I am angry too.
In the Kingdom’s causes
Let me rage with you.
Jesus Christ is healing,
healing in the streets;
Curing those who suffer,
touching those he greets.
Listen, Lord Jesus, I have pity too.
Let my care be active, healing just like you.
Jesus Christ is dancing, dancing in the streets,
where each sign of hatred
He, with love, defeats.
Listen, Lord Jesus, I should triumph too.
On suspicion’s graveyard
let me dance with you.
Jesus Christ is calling, calling in the streets,
‘Who will join my journey?
I will guide their feet.’
Listen, Lord Jesus, let my fears be few.
Walk one step before me; I will follow you.
688 Abundant life
https://myspace.com/martyhaugenmusic/music/song/abundant-life-45448065-52564690
INTRO: (violin solo with light guitar, keyboard)
(guitar, keyboard)
1. We cannot own the sunlit sky, the moon, the wild-flowers growing,
For we are part of all that is within life's river flowing.
(violin descant)
With open hands receive and share the gifts of God's creation,
That all may have abundant life in every earthly nation.
(flute solo)
2. When bodies shiver in the night, and weary, wait for morning,
When children have no bread but tears, and war horns sound their warning.
(all instruments)
God calls humanity to awake, to join in common labour,
That all may have abundant life, oneness with their neighbor.
3. God calls humanity to join as partners in creating
A future free from want or fear. Life's goodness celebrating,
That new world beckons from afar, Invites our shared endeavor
That all might have abundant life and peace endure forever.

892 The Lord hears the cry of the poor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI9h7B8L71U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k8iV2gp0eU
Refrain:
The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Blessed be the Lord
I will bless the LORD at all times;
with praise ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the LORD;
Who will hear the cry of the poor
(refrain)
Let the lowly hear and be glad:
the Lord listens to their pleas;
and to hearts broken, God is near,
Who will hear the cry of the poor (refrain)
Ev'ry spirit crushed God will save;
will be ransom for their lives;
will be safe shelter for their fears,
and will hear the cry of the poor (refrain)
We proclaim your greatness, O God,
your praise ever in our mouth;
ev'ry face brightened in your light
for you hear the cry of the poor (refrain)
