Be Light for Our Eyes (David Haas)
Come and be light for our eyes;
be the air we breathe, be the voice we speak
Come, be the song we sing, be the path we seek
Your life was given; food for all people,
body and blodd, new life in our midst
Death is no longer, life is our future;
Jesus, Messiah, name of all names
We hold your presence, risen for ever
Your name now names us people of God
Filled with your vision, people of mission,
healing, forgiveng; light for the world
Lead us to justice, light in the darkness;
singing, proclaiming Jesus is Lord
Teach us to speak, and help us to listen
for when your truth and our dreams embrace
Come Journey, Come Worship (David Haas / John Michael Talbot)
(Come and Journey With Me – David Haas)
Come to the song, come to the dance
Bring all you are, bring all you be
Come with your voice, come with your heart
Come and journey with me, come and journey with me
Come let the sun fill up your eyes
Take the time to look around
and love just love and walk with each other
Come and journey with me, come and journey with me
(Come Worship the Lord – John Michael Talbot)
Come and worship the Lord
for we are his people the flock that he shepherds
Alleluia
And come let us sing to the Lord
and shout with joy to the rock who saves us
Let us come with thanksgiving
and sing joyful songs to the Lord
So come and worship the Lord
Come and see, come and be
for we are his people
Be all you are, and all you can be
the flock that he shepherds
and leave all behind, and calm your mind
Alleluia
Come and journey with me
Alleluia
Come and journey with me
We Are One (Marc Coderre)
We were lost, we were scattered,
we were along and afraid
You came and you found us
and you showed us the way
You taught us how to give
with a love that has no price
To love unconditionally
no matter the sacrifice
There is one, One Lord
There is one, One Spirit
There is one, One Father of all
And we are one, One faith
We are one, One people
We are one, One body in Christ
May we live by your example
and praise you with every breath
Let you love empower us,
for your love is stronger than death
Lord you loved your people
as the Father loved you
Let your people be one
as the Father is one with you
Unum corpus, unus spiritus, unus dominus, una fides
Unum baptisma, unes deus, pater omnium
Inspiration (Marc Coderre)
a) LIVE FOR ME
Sisters and brothers, please love one another
I love each of you, so love for me
I gave my life for you to save your life for you
I live on in you, so live for me
Veni sancte spiritus
There is nothing to fear, for I will always be near
I believe in you, so believe in me
I who make all this new have given new life to you
I live on in you, so live for me
b) YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION
You are my inspiration
I see the light of God reflected in your eyes
Remain in My Love (Marc Coderre)
This is my commandment:
love one another as I have loved you
If you do what I command
you will remain in my love
I have told you this so that my joy
may be in you and your joy be complete
If you do what I command
you will remain in my love
It’s never too late for peace
It’s never too late to forgive
It’s never too late for mercy
It’s never too late to stop the hate
As the Father has loved me
so I have loved you. Remain in my love.
If you do what I command
you will remain in my love.
If we hate our neighbour,
how can we claim to love you?
O Lord forgive us,
we know not what we do
I Will Be With You (James E Moore)
I will be with you. That is my promise
I will be with you forevermore
Trust in my love. Bring me all your care,
for I will be with you forevermore
You are my people, and I am your God
I made you a promise, to be with you always
because I really love you
I really love you
and I will be with you forevermore
You have received me, now go and spread my word
You are within me and I am in you
because I really love you
I really love you
and I will be with you forevermore
You and I are Forever (Marc Coderre)
Words alone could never express
what you are to me
If not for you I would not be
half the man you see
You and I are forever
You’re my past, present, and future
Through it all and come whatever,
You and I are forever one
One life we share now together,
that is the promise we made:
To share all the joy and share all the pain
’til the end of our days
I was searching for something to believe in
Love found me and gave my life new meaning
Even if the shadow of death
physically sets us apart
The love we shared will never die
Ever will it live in my heart
Give Me Hope (Marc Coderre)
Give me a ray of hope
Give me a fighting chance
Show me there’s a reason for this pain
How did it come to this?
Is there a point to this?
I know things will never be the same.
Give me hope. Give me faith
Give me strength. Give me grace
Don’t want to live in fear
I sick of disappointment,
fighting a losing battle
I’ve gone beyond my breaking point
I’m weary with frustration,
imprisoned by despair
I don’t know why I try anymore
It’s not the load that breaks us down,
it’s the way we carry it
Only in God (Psalm 62) (John Michael Talbot)
Only in God is my soul at rest,
in Him comes my salvation
He only is my rock,
my strength and my salvation
My stronghold, my saviour
I shall not be afraid at all
My stronghold, my saviour
I shall not be moved
Only in God is found safety
when my enemy pursues me
Only is God is found glory
whem I am found meek and found lowly
Days of Innocence (Marc Coderre)
I turned my back on you and every one
I thought I didn’t need you or anyone
I had all the answers I thought I was wise,
But now I see I’m just a fool, blinded by my pride
Gone are the days of innocence
Now I long for the days of forgiveness
I’m climbing but the ground is sliding
I’m swimming hard, but I’m against the tide
The further I go the more I fall behind.
Have I lost my way? Was it really mine?
I put my faith in things that didn’t last
I’m burdened by the mistakes of my past
I want to come home
Redeemer Lord (John Foley SJ)
You are our Father;
redeemer Lord are you
Why must we wander,
so far away from your truth?
Open the heavens, return to our side
You are our Father, Lord, our guide
Come back to your servants now,
give back, O Lord, your light
The pathways are parting now we choose,
yet you hide from our sight;
rupture the heavens, come back to our lives:
come down to your people, Lord of life
My shepherd is the Lord, there is nothing I shall need
Fresh and green are the pastures where he’ll lead
Your world doesn’t know you now,
they close their eyes to you
O where are the wondrous deeds you’d do,
all for those who were true?
Sunder the heavens, and come to our aid
Lord, look how your people stand afraid
Where is your answer?
I cry my days to you
A worm and no man am I,
dispised by all in my gloom
Lord, will you hear me, take head of my heart?
O why must you let your love depart?
Song of the Risen One (David Haas)
Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here: he has been raised to new life
Alleluia. Alleluia
Come and see. The one who you seek is no longer here:
Who is risen among you, who goes now before you alive
Alleluia. Alleluia
Every tear will be driven away; no more pain:
No more weeping and mourning, “Behold, I make all things new”
Alleluia. Alleluia
Strength to the weak. New sight for the blind: Jesus alive
Go and tell all the nations the wondrous deeds of our God
Alleluia. Alleluia
Rejoice (Marc Coderre)
This is the day the Lord has made,
let us rejoice and be glad
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
his mercy endures forever
In my hour of need I called upon the Lord,
he answered me and set me free
I shall not die but I shall live
and declare the works of the Lord
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the corner stone
By the Lord has this been done,
it is wonderful to our eyes
Rejoice, rejoice, sing alleluia
Rejoice, rejoice, glorify the Lord
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
He is risen, he is risen, he is risen, he is risen
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
You are my God, I give thanks to you
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
his kindness endures forever
If I’m in Your Heart (Marc Coderre)
If I’m in your heart we can change the world together
If I’m in your heart we can change the world forever
ver1
In a world full of sorrow, suffering, death, and fear
It is hard to believe that God is really here
In a world full of anger, violence, and mistrust
It is hard to suppose that there is any hope for us
Be not afraid, you’re not alone,
for I have claimed you as my own
In a world of injustice, misery, war, and pain
It is hard to imagine that things could ever change
You’ve got to believe in the power of love
These Alone are Enough (Dan Schutte)
Take my heart, O Lord, take my hopes and dreams
Take my mind with all its plans and schemes
Give me nothing more than your love and grace
These alone, O God, are enough for me
Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory
Take my tears, my joys, my liberty
Give me nothing more than your love and grace
These alone, O God, are enough for me
I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold
I return to you your gifts untold
Give me nothing more than your love and grace
These alone, O God, are enough for me
When the darkness falls on my final days,
take the very breath that sang your praise
Give me nothing more than your love and grace
These alone, O God, are enough for me
