1. Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people,
light for the world to see.
REFRAIN:
Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church gathered today.
2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow’r to save us.
Make us your living voice.
3. Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others,
shared until all are fed.
4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others,
walls made of living stone.
5. Many the gifts, many the people,
many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
making your kingdom come.

Psalm 66
RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)
R/Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
Verses (Spoken)
I waited, I waited for the Lord
And he stooped down to me;
He heard my cry.
He put a new song into my mouth,
Praise of our God.
R/Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings,
But an open ear.
You do not ask for holocaust and victim,
Instead, here am I.
R/Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
In the scroll of the book it stands written
That I should do your will.
My God, I delight in your law
In the depth of my heart.
R/Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
Your justice I have proclaimed
In the great assembly.
My lips I have not sealed;
You know it, O Lord.
R/Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.
Here I am, Lord!
I come to do your will.

Take our hearts, we love you,
Take our lives, oh Father,
We are yours, we are yours.

We are yours, we are yours. (to refrain)

Spirit-filled, yet hungry, we await your food.

have mercy on us.

Mass of Holy Trinity| Music by Mike Stanley
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. Behold the Lamb of God, Behold, the body of my Lord
Behold, the greatest sacrifice made for all time
We come to be made new, to eat from the table of the Lord
Only by grace is our worthiness restored and we behold!
Refrain:
Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb,
behold the Lamb of God (repeat all)
2. Father, let your glory shine in this Eucharist, for us a sign
of heavens mercy, poured out in Je - sus your Son.
Jesus, Saviour of the world by your dying you destroyed our death
by rising you have restored us to life and we be - hold
Middle Section:
Je sus, body of my Lord,
Jesus, Saviour of the world.
Jesus, blood for us outpoured,
Jesus, Saviour of the world.
Words & Music: Joanne Boyce, Mike Stanley
Church of God, elect and glorious,
holy nation, chosen race;
called as God's own special people,
royal priests and heirs of grace:
know the purpose of your calling,
show to all his mighty deeds;
tell of love which knows no limits,
grace which meets all human needs.
God has called you out of darkness
into his most marvellous light;
brought his truth to life within you,
turned your blindness into sight.
Let your light so shine around you
that God’s name is glorified;
and all find fresh hope and purpose
in Christ Jesus crucified.
Once you were an alien people,
strangers to God’s heart of love;
but he brought you home in mercy,
citizens of heaven above.
Let his love flow out to others,
let them feel a Father’s care;
