Go Tell Everyone

1. God’s Spirit is in my heart.
He has called me and set me apart.
This is what I have to do, what I have to do.

Refrain:
He has sent me to give the Good News to the poor,
Tell prisoners that they are Pris'ners no more,
Tell blind people that they can see,
And set the downtrodden free.
And go tell everyone the news,
That Kingdom Of God Has Come,
And go tell everyone the news,
That the Kingdom has come.

2. Just as the Father sent me,
So I’m sending you out 
To be my witnesses throughout the world,
The whole of the world. Refrain.

3. Don’t worry what you have to say.
Don’t worry because on that day God’s Spirit.
Will speak in your heart.
Will speak in your heart. Refrain.

Gather Us In

1. Here in this place, new light is streaming.
Now is the darkness, vanished away.
See, in this space, our fears and our dreaming.
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.

2. We are the young, our lives are a mystery.
We are the old who yearns for your face.
We have been sung throughout all of history.
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.

3. Here we will take the wine and the water,
Here we will take the bread of new birth.
Here you shall call your children at table,
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.

4. 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 bones.

Marty Haugen

Forty Days And Forty Nights

1. Forty days and forty nights
You were fasting in the wild.
Forty days and forty nights tempted,
and yet undefiled.

2. Shall not we your sorrow share
and from worldly joys abstain.
Fasting with unceasing prayer,
strong with you to suffer pain?

3. Then if satan on us press,
flesh or spirit to assail.
Victor in the wilderness,
grant we may not faint nor fail!

4. So shall we have peace divine:
holier gladness ours shall be.
Round us, too, shall angels shine,
such as served you faithfully.

5. Keep, O keep us, Savior dear,
ever constant by your side,
That with you may appear
at th'eternal Eastertide.

Heinlein

Fill The World With Love

1. In the morning of my life,
I shall look to the sunrise,
At a moment in my life when the world is new.
And the blessing I shall ask,
Is that God will grant me:
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.

(Chorus)
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love my whole life through

2. In the noontime of my life 
I shall look to the sunshine,
At a moment in my life,
When the sky is blue.
And the blessing I shall ask 
Will remain unchanging:
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.

(Chorus)
And to fill the world with love,
And to fill the world with love,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.

3. In the evening of my life,
I shall look to the sunset,
At a moment in my life 
when the night is due.
And the question I shall ask 
Only I can answer:
Was I brave and strong and true,
Did I  fill the world with love 
My whole life through?

Petula Clark

Take the time to look around, and love, just love, & walk with each other,

And leave all behind and calm your mind.

Choose Life

O Lord, you came to bring us life
That we might have it more and more.
We who share your love, your life
We choose life, choose life.

1. You set before us life or death
A blessing or a curse.
We choose life that we may live
In the land of the living forever.

May live and grow in love of our God.
Heeding his voice, we will cling to him
We will share his life, his love forever.

3. For it is you, Lord that we choose
You, who bring abundant life.
To whom else, Lord, can we go?
You are the Way, the Truth, the Life.

As The Deer Longs

Refrain: As the deer longs for running streams,
so I long, so I long for you.

1. Athirst my soul for you, the God who is my life!
When shall I see, when shall I see, see the face of God?

over my head, all your mighty waters, sweeping over me.

"Where is God, where is your God?"
Where, O where are you?

they will lead me to your holy mountain, to your dwelling place.

5. Then I shall go unto the altar of my God.
Praising you, O my joy and gladness,
I shall praise your name.

All that I Am

Refrain:
All that I am, all that I do,
All that I'll ever have,
I offer now to you.
All that I dream, all that I pray,
All that I'll ever make,
I give to you today.

Take and sanctify these gifts
For your honor, Lord.
Knowing that I love and serve you
Is enough reward. 
Refrain:

All Our Joy

Refrain:
All our joy, Lord, all our pain,
All the times we've met you,
Lord, we recall again.
Now we wish to show our love;
Through gifts, we make it known.
Take what we bring; make us your own.

Like the dew that carpets dawn,
Your love for us pervades the morn;
And meets us at each corner, in each smile.
And though it lingers through the day,
Our minds will turn and drift away, 
So here we come to thank and to recall.
Refrain.

To touch our hearts and make them feel,
That all the love you claim is real.
You sent your Son in laughter and in tears.
But he not only talked; he died
His bruises showed the love inside,
And through our gifts the love we feel
appears.
Refrain.

Darryl Ducote

Again We Keep This Solemn Fast

1. Again we keep this solemn fast,
A gift of faith from ages past.
This Lent which binds us lovingly
To faith and hope and charity.

2. The law and prophets from of old,
In figured ways this Lent foretold,
Which Christ, all ages Lord and Guide,
In these last days He sanctified.

3. More sparing, therefore, let us make
The words speak, the food we take,
Our sleep, our laughter, ev’ry sense.
Learn peace through holy penitence.

4. Let us avoid each harmful way
That lures the careless mind astray,
By watchful prayer our spirits free
From scheming of the enemy.

5. We pray, O blessed Three in One,
Our God while endless ages run,
That this, our Lent of forty days,
May bring us growth and give you praise.

A Song of Love, My God

I want to show you I'm alive
I want to praise you;
I want to sing you a song of love,
My God. Refrain
2. I want to thank you for the call.
I'd like to serve with all my soul.
I want to praise you.
I want to sing you a song of love, 
My God. Refrain.
3. I'd like to sing a song for you, my God(Sing allelu).
I'd like to sing a song for you, my God(Sing allelu).
Sing allelu, sing allelu, sing alleluia,
Sing alleluia, sing alleluia!


Mother Mary, Hold Me Closer

Oh how I need your love,
I need you in my life.

Don't ever let me go
Hold me now in your embrace
I just want to be with you
Always with you.

Repeat All. Repeat Chorus

You're the one that I can turn to. Oblate Apostles of the Two Hearts
