Longing For Light

LONGING  FOR LIGHT

By Bernadette Farrell

Refrain:

                     I

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.

                    II

Longing for peace, our world is troubled.

Longing for hope, many despair.

Your word alone has power to save us.

Make us your living voice. (Refrain)

                   III

Longing for food, many are hungry.

Longing for water, many still thirst.

Make us your bread, broken for others,

Shared until all are fed. (Refrain)

                  IV

Longing for shelter, many are homeless.

Longing for warmth, many are cold.

Make us your building, sheltering others,

Walls make of living stone. (Refrain) 

                  V

Many the gifts, many the people,

Many the hearts that yearn to belong.

Let us be servants to one another,

Making your kingdom come. (Refrain)

Verses can be sung as solo...:)

Lay Your Hands

LAY YOUR HANDS

By: Carey Landry

Refrain:

Lay your hands gently upon us,

Let there touch render you peace,

Let them bring your forgiveness and healing

Lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

                        I

You were sent to free the broken hearted.

You were sent to give sight to the blind.

You desire to heal all our illness.

Lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

                        II

Lord, we come to you through one another,

Lord, we come to you in all our need.

Lord, we come to you seeking wholeness.

Lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

Lady of Knock

LADY OF KNOCK

Words and Music by: Dana & Damien Scallon

                    I  

There were people of all ages

Gathered round the gable wall

Poor and humble men and women

Little children that You called,

We are gathered here before You

And our hearts are just the same.

Filled with joy at such a vision

As we praise Your name.

Chorus:

Golden Rose, Queen of Ireland

All my cares and troubles cease.

As we kneel with love before You.

Lady of Knock, my Queen of Peace.

                   II

Oh your message was unspoken,

But the truth is silence lies.

So I gaze upon your vision,

And the truth I try to find.

Here I stand with John the teacher,

And with Joseph at your side.

And I see the Lamb of God,

On the altar glorified.  (Chorus)

Coda:

And the Lamb will conquer

And the woman clothed in the sun

Will shine her light on every one.

And the Lamb will conquer

And the woman clothed in the sun

Will shine her light on every one.

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 pow’r 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!
