Bring Forth the Kingdom

You are salt for the earth, O people,

salt for the city of God!

Share the flavor of life, O people:

life in the kingdom of God!

Bring forth the kingdom of mercy,

bring forth the kingdom of peace.

Bring forth the kingdom of justice,

bring forth the city of God!

You are a light on the hill, O people,

light for the city of God!

Shine so holy and bright, O people:

shine for the kingdom of God!

You are a seed of the word, O people,

bring forth the kingdom of God!

Seeds of mercy and seeds of justice,

grow in the kingdom of God!

Jesus You are Bread for us

Refrain

Jesus, you are bread for us.

Jesus, you are life for us.

In your gift of Eucharist we find love.

you are there with us, Jesus.

Thank you for the friend you are.

Thank you for the love we share.

2. When we feel that we need love

you are there with us, Jesus.

Thank you for the friend you are.

Thank you for the love we share.

3. When we feel that things aren’t fair

you are there with us, Jesus.

Thank you for the friend you are.

Thank you for the love we share.

4. In communion we believe

you are there with us, Jesus.

Thank you for the friend you are.

Thank you for the love we share.

Take and Receive

Take and receive, O Lord, my liberty

Take all my will, my mind, my memory

All things I hold and all I own are Thine

Thine was the gift, to Thee I all resign

Do Thou direct and govern all and sway

Do what Thou wilt, command, and I obey

Only Thy grace, Thy love on me bestow

These make me rich, all else will I forego.

Praise to the Lord the Almighty

1. Praise to the Lord,
the Almighty, the King of creation.
O my soul, praise him,
for he is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear,
now to his temple draw near;
join me in glad adoration!

2. Praise to the Lord!
O let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath life and breath,
come now with praises before him!
Let the amen sound from his people again;
gladly forever adore him.
