I Will Be The Vine

I Will Be The Vine
By:  Liam Lawton

Refrain:
I will be the vine and you will be the branches;
All you who live in me will never, never die.
I will be the sign, I will offer many chances;
So live, Oh live in me and you shall have new life.

                       I
Remain in me as I remain in you.
You may ask what you will,
Ask what you will and you shall receive. (Refrain)

                      II
As the Father loved me, so have I loved you.
Remain in my love, remain in my love,
And I will give you life. (Refrain)

                      III
If you are my friends, you will my commands.
There is no greater love, no greater love
Than to lay down your life for your friends. (Refrain)

I Watch the Sunrise

I WATCH THE SUNRISE
By: John Glynn

                        I
I watch the sunrise lighting the sky,
Casting its shadows near.
And on this morning, bright thought it be,
I feel those shadows near me.

Refrain:
But you are always, close to me,
Following all my ways.
May I be always close to you,
Following all your ways, Lord.

                        II
I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds,
Warming the earth below.
And at the mid-day, life seems to say:
I feel your brightness near me.
For you are always…. (Refrain)

                        III
I watch the sunset fading away,
Lighting the clouds with sleep.
And as the evening closes it eyes,
I feel your presence near me.
For you are always…. (Refrain)

                        IV
I watch the moonlight guarding the night,
Waiting till morning comes.
The air is silent, earth is at rest
Only your peace is near me.
Yes, you are always….. (Refrain)

How Great Thou Art

HOW GREAT THOU ART

                                 I
O Lord, my God!  When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the works thy hand has made.
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy powr throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee,
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee,
How great thou art! How great thou art!

                            II
And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in:
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

                               III
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God how great thou art!

Here I Am, Lord

HERE I AM, LORD
By: Dan Schutte, S.J.

                          I
I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin. My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them! Whom shall I send?

Refrain:
Here I am, Lord.  Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you, calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.

                       II
I the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne My peoples pain.
I have wept for love of them.  They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them.  Whom shall I send? (Refrain)

                        III
I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame. 
I will set a feast for them. My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide, till their hearts be satisfied.

I will give My life to them.  Whom shall I send? (Refrain)
