VERSE 1:
Come back to me with all your heart,
don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, tho' straight and tall;
so must we to others' call.
REFRAIN
Long have I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life.
VERSE 2:
The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice
with tenderness you shall know. (refrain)
VERSE 3:
You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy.

Psalm 125 r.3
RESPONSE: (Cantor, then all)
What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
1. When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage,
it seemed like a dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
on our lips there were songs.
R/ What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
2. The heathens themselves said: ‘What marvels
the Lord worked for them!’
What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
R/ What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
3. Deliver us, O Lord, from our bondage
as streams in dry land.
Those who are sowing in tears
will sing when they reap.
R/ What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.
4. They go out, they go out, full of tears,
carrying seed for the sowing:
they come back, they come back, full of song,
carrying their sheaves.
R/ What marvels the Lord worked for us!
Indeed we were glad.

Verse: (sung)
Glory and praise to you O Lord.
Mass of St Luke | Music by Mike Stanley © CJM MUSIC
O the love of my Lord is the essence
Of all that I have here on earth
All the beauty I see he has given to me
And his giving is gentle as silence
Every day, every hour, every moment,
Has been blessed by the strength of his love
At the turn of each tide he is here at my side
And his touch is as gentle as silence
There have been times when I’ve turned from his presence
And I have walked other paths, other ways
But I’ve called on his name in the dark of my shame
And his mercy was gentle as silence

Mass of Creation | Marty Haugen
We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection until you come again, until you come again.
Mass of Creation| Music by Marty Haugen
Spoken
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
Chorus:
Remember not the things of the past;
Now I do something new,
Do you not see it?
Now I do something new, says the Lord. (repeat 1st , final time)
Verse 1:
In our distress, God has grasped us by the hand,
Opened a path in the sea,
And we shall pass over,
We shall pass over, free at last.
Verse 2:
In our parched land of hypocrisy and hate,
God makes a river spring forth,
A river of mercy, truth and compassion;
Come and drink.
Verse 3:
And who among us is sinless in God's sight?
Then who will cast the first stone,
When He who was sinless
Carried our failings to the cross?
Verse 4:
Pressing ahead, letting go what lies behind,
May we be found in the Lord,
And sharing his dying,
Share in his rising from the dead.

VERSE 1:
God forgave my sin in Jesus' name
I've been born again in Jesus' name
And in Jesus' name I come to you
To share His love as He told me to
CHORUS:
He said: "Freely, freely, you have received
Freely, freely give
Go in My name, and because you believe
Others will know that I live."
VERSE 2:
All power is giv'n in Jesus' name
In earth and heav'n in Jesus' name
And in Jesus' name I come to you
To share His power as He told me to
