Mary's Song by Millie Rieth

My soul doth glory in your love, O Lord.
My soul doth glory in your love, O Lord. 
For you gazed on your servant with compassion, 
And you reached out and took me by the hand.

Great are you, God, and holy is your name.
Your mercy reaches to the end of time.
Ah, the lowly you raise to the heavens,
And the proud-hearted have no part with you.

Ah, how you fill the hungry with your love.
With empty hands the rich are sent away.
You will always be mindful of your mercy, 
As you promised your people long ago.

My soul doth glory in your love, O Lord.
My soul doth glory in your love, O Lord. 
For you smiled on your servant with compassion, 
And you reached out and took me by the hand.

We will rise again

Another beautiful composition by David Haas
Key: F

1. Like a shepherd I will feed you; I will gather you with care.
I will lead you and hold you close to my heart.

Refrain : We will run and not grow weary, for our God will be our strength,
and we will fly like the eagle, we will rise again.

2. I am strength to the weary; to the weak I am new life.
Though the young may grow weary, I will be their hope.

3. Lift up your eyes, and see who made the stars.
I lead you, and I know you, I call you each by name.

4. Fear not, I am with you; I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; uphold you with my hand.

The Lord is my Shepherd and I want to follow

Verse 1
The Lord is my Shepherd, and I want to follow,
wherever he leads me, wherever he goes.
Over the mountains, the waters and by-ways,
valleys and highways he’s waiting for me.
Refrain
I want to go to meet him there, to lay myself down in his love.
The Lord is my shepherd, and I want to follow,
wherever he leads me, wherever he goes.
Verse 2
And while on the journey to where we are going,
he promised to be there to help us along.
And over the mountains we’ll walk on together,
to know all the wonders he’s given to me
Refrain

Gift of Finest Wheat

Listen to the song here - http://youtu.be/DvPCjVWFXJw

Chorus:
You satisfy the hungry heart
with gift of finest wheat,
come give to us O saving Lord,
the bread of life to eat.

1) As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
they know and heed his voice;
so when You call Your family Lord,
we follow and rejoice.

2) With joyful lips we sing to You,
Our praise and gratitude,
that You should count us worthy Lord,
to share this heavenly food.

3) Is not the cup we bless and share,
the blood of Christ outpoured?
Do not one cup, one loaf declare
Our oneness in the Lord?

4) The mystery of Your presence Lord,
no mortal tongue can tell;
whom all the world cannot contain
comes in our hearts to dwell.

5) You give yourself to us o Lord,
then selfless let us be,
to serve each other in Your name
in truth and charity.

Words: Omer Westendorf (1977)
Music: Robert E. Kreutz (1977)

Lamb of God - Paul Mason

Lamb of God
Lamb of God, lamb of God
You take away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us, Lamb of God

Lamb of God, lamb of God,
You take away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us, Lamb of God

Lamb of God, lamb of God,
You take away the sins of the world,

Grant us, grant us, peace
