We Are Called

We Are Called
Davis Haas

1. Come! live in the light!
Shine with the joy and the love of the Lord!
We are called to be light for the kingdom,
to live in the freedom of the city of God!

Refrain: We are called to act with justice.
We are called to love tenderly.
We are called to serve one another, to walk humbly with God.

2. Come! Open your heart!
Show your mercy to all those in fear!
We are called to be hope for the hopeless,
so all hatred and blindness will be no more!

3. Sing! Sing a new song!
Sing of that great day when all will be one!
God will reign and we'll walk with each other as sisters and brothers united in love!

The King of Love My Shepherd Is

The King Of Love My Shepherd Is

The king of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine for ever.

Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth.

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home rejoicing brought me.

In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!

And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never:
Good shepherd, may I sing thy praise
Within thy house for ever.

Baptized in Water

Baptized in Water

Baptized in water,
sealed by the spirit
cleansed by the blood of Christ our king;
heirs of salvation,
trusting his promise -
faithfully now God's praise we sing.

Baptized in water,
sealed by the Spirit,
dead in the tomb with Christ our king;
one with his rising,
freed and forgiven
thankfully now God's praise we sing.

Baptized in water,
sealed by the Spirit,
marked with the sign of  Christ our king;
born of one Father,
we are his children -
joyfully now God's praise we sing.

Canticles Of The Sun

Canticles Of The Sun
Marty Haugen

Refrain 


The heavens are telling the glory of God, 


And all creation is shouting for joy! 


Come, dance in the forest, come, play in the field, 


And sing, sing to the glory of the Lord! 




Verse One


Praise for the sun, the bringer of day, he carries the light of the Lord in his rays; the moon 

and the stars who light up the way unto your throne!




Verse Two


Praise for the wind that blows through the trees, the seas' mighty storms, the gentlest 

breeze; they blow where they will, they blow where they please to please the Lord!




Verse Three


Praise for the rain that waters our fields, and blesses our crops so all the earth yields; from 

death unto life her mystery revealed springs forth in joy!




Verse Four


Praise for the fire who gives us his light, the warmth of the sun to brighten our night; he 

dances with joy, his spirit so bright, he sings of you!

Bread Of Life

Bread Of Life

Refrain.

Bread of life, hope of the world,

Jesus Christ, our brother;

feed us now, give us life,

lead us to one another.



Verse 1

As we proclaim your death as we recall your life,

We remember your promise to return again.



Verse 2

The bread we break and share was scattered once as grain:

Just as now it is gathered, make your people one.



Verse 3

We eat this living bread, we drink this saving cup:

Sign of hope in our broken world, source of lasting love.


Verse 4

Hold us unity, in love for all to see;

That the world may believe in you, God of all who live.



Verse 5

You are the bread of peace, you are the wine of joy,

Broken now for your people, poured in endless love.

Christ Be Beside Me

Christ Be Beside Me


Christ be beside me, Christ be before me,

Christ be behind me, King of my heart.


Christ be within me, Christ be below me,


Christ be above me, never to part.



Christ on my right hand, Christ on my left hand,


Christ all around me, shield in the strife.


Christ in my sleeping, Christ in my sitting,


Christ in my rising, light of my heart.




Christ be in all hearts thinking about me,


Christ be on all tongues telling of me.


Christ be the vision in eyes that see me,


In ears that hear me Christ ever be.

The Summons

The Summons

John L. Bell & Graham Maule

Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown? Will you let my name be known,
will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?

Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?

Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean and do such as this unseen,
and admit to what I mean in you and you in me?

Will you love the "you" you hide if I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found to reshape the world around,
through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?

Lord your summons echoes true when you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In Your company I'll go where Your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow in you and you in me.
