Our Lady of the Way (Be with us Mary)

No man can live as island;
Journey through life alone;
Since we’re most loved by a mother
Jesus gave us his own

Ref:      Be with us Mary along the Way
            Guide every step we take
            Lead us to Jesus your loving son;
            Come with us Mary, come

When Jesus met with rejection, 
Mary stood by the Cross;
How can a mother desert her Son? 
She’ll also stand by us

Help us, O star of the Ocean, 
be with us in our strife,
When we are faced with temptation, 
tossed by the storms of life.

Alleluia Alleluia Give Thanks to the Risen Lord

Alleluia, Alleluia
Give thanks to the risen Lord
Alleluia, alleluia, give praise to His name

Jesus is Lord of all the earth
He is the King of creation

Spread the good news o'er all the earth
Jesus has died and has risen

We have been crucified with Christ
Now we shall live forever
God has proclaimed the just reward
Life for all men, alleluia!

Come let us praise the living God
Joyfully sing to our Saviour

Sing a New Song

Refrain
Sing a new song unto the Lord;
let your song be sung from mountains high.
Sing a new song unto the Lord,
singing alleluia.

1. Yahweh's people dance for joy.
O come before the Lord.
And play for him on glad tambourines,
and let your trumpet sound.

2. Rise, O children, from your sleep;
your Savior now has come.
He has turned your sorrow to joy,
and filled your soul with song.

3. Glad my soul for I have seen
the glory of the Lord.
The trumpet sounds; the dead shall be raised.
I know my Savior lives.

We Walk by Faith

Walk with Jesus - always! - http://youtu.be/6hk_7EUvwv8

1. We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
Of him who spoke as none e'er spoke;
But we believe Him near.

2. We may not touch His hands and side,
Nor follow where He trod;
Yet in His promise we rejoice,
And cry, "My Lord and God!"

3. Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound,
To call on You when You are near,
And seek where You are found:

4. That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are,
In full and endless sight.

Jesus Christ is Risen Today Alleluia

1. Jesus Christ Is risen today,
Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day,
Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross
Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss.
Alleluia!

2. Hymns of praise, then, let us sing
Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King,
Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave
Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save.
Alleluia!

3. But the pains which He endured
Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured.
Alleluia!
Now above the sky He's King,
Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing.
Alleluia!

4. Sing we to our God above,
Alleluia!
Praise eternal as His love:
Alleluia!
Praise Him, all ye heavenly host,
Alleluia!
Father, Son. and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia!

Mass Hymns for 23 March 2014

Entrance: Table of Plenty
Offertory: We Remember
Communion: Come to the Water
Final: How Great Thou Art

Table of Plenty

Listen to the song here

Refrain
Come to the feast of heaven and earth!
Come to the table of plenty!
God will provide for all that we need,
here at the table of plenty.

1. O come and sit at my table
where saints and sinners are friends.
I wait to welcome the lost and lonely 
to share the cup of my love.

2. O come and eat without money;
come to drink without price.
My feast of gladness will feed your spirit 
with faith and fullness of life.

3. My bread will ever sustain you
through days of sorrow and woe.
My wine will flow like a sea of gladness 
to flood the depths of your soul.

4. Your fields will flower in fullness;
your homes will flourish in peace.
For I, the giver of home and harvest, 
will send my rain on the soil.

How Great Thou Art

Listen to the song here

O LORD my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made; 
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder, 
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed:

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!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander 
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze:

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:

Come to the Water (you who are thirsty)

Refrain

Come to the water! You who are thirsty!
Though you have nothing, I bid you come!
And be filled with the goodness I have to offer!
Come! Listen! Live.

Why spend your money on what cannot fill
The emptiness deep in your heart?
Listen to My word and you will enjoy
Goodness and peace in your heart!

Just as the heavens are high above earth;
My ways and thoughts beyond you!
Call me your Father and know I am near!
I will be Father to you!

Just as the rain falls to water the earth;
Just as a seed becomes bread
My word upon you can never return
Until My longing is filled!
