How can we sing of joy to God,
how can we pray to him;
When we are far away from God,
in selfishness and sin?.
How can we claim to do God's will
when we have turned away,
from things of God to things of earth,
and willed to disobey?
How can we praise the love of God,
which all his works make known,
when all our works turn from his love,
to choices of our own?
God knows the sinful things we do,
the godless life we live,
yet in his love he calls to us,
so ready to forgive.
So we will turn again to God,
his ways will be our ways,
his will our will, his love our love,
and he himself our praise!

Peace in heaven
and glory in the highest heavens!

Father you call us,
With a love that is steadfast,
And mercy, tender mercy
You hear the sinner's confession
With a heart of compassion
And draw us into your embrace

Father you are merciful
Forever you are merciful
Only by your Grace
Can we gaze upon the face of your mercy

Poured out in Jesus
Such mercy, perfect mercy
Lamb of God, our redemption
In the plan of Salvation
You paid the price we could not pay

Forever you are merciful
We're humbled by your Grace
As we see in Christ the face of your mercy

Take our lives, Lord and use us
For mercy, for your mercy.
Give us eyes of compassion
For the lost and broken
Help us lead them back to your embrace

as Father you are merciful
Lead us by your Grace
So that we may be the face of your mercy

Mass of The Holy Trinity | Music by Mike Stanley & Andy Ross © CJM MUSIC
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love You above all things
and I passionately desire
to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to You
now and forever. Amen.
Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit
1. I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God
CHORUS:
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
2. I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest nights
You are close like no other
I've known You as a father
I've known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God
(To Chorus...)
BRIDGE: (x2)
Your goodness is running after,
It's running after me.
Your goodness is running after,
It's running after me.
With my life laid down I'm surrendered now
I give You everything.
Your goodness is running after,
It's running after me.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears re - lieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
