Offertory - 609  In bread we bring you, Lord
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD2XY6SNXwM

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.

Holy Holy:  Mass of Light
http://youtu.be/BzuVF1rwamA (go to 5:30)

Holy, Holy, Holy,
Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are
full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest

Memorial Acclamation: We proclaim - (Mass of Light) (go to 6:20)

Refrain:
In the breaking of the bread
We have known him; we have been fed.
Jesus the stranger, Jesus the Lord,
Be our companion, be our hope.

Bread for the journey, strength for our years,
manna of ages of struggle and tears.
Cup of salvation, fruit of the land,
bless and receive now the work of our hands. (refrain)

Bread for the promise, people of hope,
wine of compassion, life for the world.
Gathered at table, joined as his body,
sealed in the Spirit, sent by the Lord. (refrain)

I say to the Lord "You are my God,
My happiness lies in you alone,
My happiness lies in you alone." (refrain)

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. (refrain)

3. And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad
Even in safety shall my body rest
For you will not leave my soul among the dead,
Nor let your beloved know decay. (refrain)

The fullness of joy in your presence,
At your right hand, at your right hand
Happiness forever. (refrain)

COMMUNION    
284 We walk by faith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hk_7EUvwv8

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
no gracious words we hear
of Him who spoke as none e'er spoke;
but we believe Him near.

We may not touch his hands and side,
nor follow where he trod;
yet in his promise we rejoice;
and cry, "My Lord and God!"

Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
and may our faith abound,
to call on you when you are near,
and seek where you are found:

that, when our life of faith is done,
in realms of clearer light
we may behold you as you are,
with full and endless sight.

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
no gracious words we hear
of Him who spoke as none e'er spoke;
but we believe Him near.

Take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.

Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.

chords: http://www.worshiparchive.com/song/in-christ-alone

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

(a capella or very light instrumentation)
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
(increasing volume/crescendo)
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
(enter instruments, Forte)
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

He is King, He is King.
He has risen from the dead
And He is King.
Ev’ry knee shall bow,
Ev’ry tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is King.

He is love, He is love.

749 Servant King


From heaven You came, helpless babe
entered our world, Your glory veiled
not to be served but to serve
and give Your life that we might live

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 how to serve,
and in our lives enthrone Him
each other's needs
to prefer for it is Christ
we're serving

and when you do,
do it in love for me.

We carry the saving cross through
The roads of the world.
Through the alleys of poverty and misery.
Marching to a dawning day to freedom and victory,
To God’s life and endless glory.

Christ, bread of life, the self-giving Lord of all
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, sent by God, obedient to the father’s will
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ truth and life, condemned by falsehood
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, son of Mary immolated for all of us
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, humble servant aided by Simon
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, of the poor, condemned though innocent
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, lamb of God, for us sinners crucified
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, our healer, consoler of those who grieve
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, redeemer, crowned with piercing thorns
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, son of David, stripped of his glory
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, good shepherd, on the cross crucified
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, lamb of God, for us sinners crucified
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, victor through the saving cross
He leads the way of the cross.

Christ, our saviour in the tomb laid to rest

He leads the way of the cross.

How Deep the Father's love for us
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9FG12eTSbI

How deep the Father’s Love for us
How deep the Father's
love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
to make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss,
the Father turns His face away
as wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the Man upon a cross,
my sin upon His shoulders
ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there
until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that
it is finished

I will not boast in anything
no gifts, no power no wisdom
but I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
but this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom

There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord,

Offertory:  906  If we are living - (by Haugen) - NEW SONG
https://myspace.com/martyhaugenmusic/music/song/pues-si-vivimos-if-we-are-living-48880030-52564696

If we are living, we are in the Lord,
and if we die we are in the Lord,
For if we live or if we die
We belong to God, we belong to God.

Throughout our lives we have fruit to bear.
All of our good works are for us to share.
Whether we give, or we receive
we belong to God, we belong to God.

When there is sadness, when there is pain,
in Christ the Lord, we have love to gain.
Whether we suffer or we rejoice,
we belong to God, we belong to God.

And in this world we will always find
those who are weeping, sick in heart and mind.
They need our help, they need our care.
we belong to God, we belong to God.

Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest

You who come to Me shall not hunger;
and who believe in Me shall not thirst
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father draw him

And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day

The bread that I will give
is My flesh for the life of the world
and if you eat of this bread
you shall live for ever
you shall live for ever (refrain)

Unless you eat
Of the flesh of the Son of Man
And drink of His blood
And drink of His blood
You shall not have life within you                
(refrain)

I am the resurrection
I am the life
If you believe in Me
Even though you die,
You shall live for ever (refrain)

That You are the Christ
The Son of God
Who has come
Into the world (refrain)

The Spirit lives to set us free,
walk, walk in the light.
He binds us all in unity,
walk, walk in the light.

Walk in the light,
walk in the light,
walk in the light,
walk in the light of the Lord

Jesus promised life to all,
walk, walk in the light.
The dead were wakened by his call,
walk, walk in the light.

He died in pain on Calvary,
walk, walk in the light,
to save the lost like you and me,
walk, walk in the light.

We know his death was not the end,
walk, walk in the light.
He gave his Spirit to be our friend,
walk, walk in the light.

By Jesus' love our wounds are healed,
walk, walk in the light.
The Father's kindness is revealed,
walk, walk in the light.

The Spirit lives in you and me,
walk, walk in the light.
His light will shine for all to see,
walk, walk in the light
