Sanctuary
03:46
|
|||
Let us be a people,
and let this be a place
where anyone may gather,
to encounter Jesus’ grace.
For if He is our shelter,
a haven safe and sure,
then on this firm foundation
let us open up our doors.
Let us be a sanctuary,
a place of belonging in His name,
where doubts and fears,
where Joy and tears
will not be met with shame.
Let us be a sanctuary,
a place where the grace of God flows free,
where those with burdens,
the whole, or hurting
will find a welcome here.
Guide us in compassion,
lead us to Your heart,
to love without condition
and come just as we are,
to make a space for questions,
for laughter and for grief,
to sit within the tension
of our feelings and beliefs.
May all who search,
those scarred by church,
come find a welcome here.

Forgive us
04:25
|

Forgive us for each time we fail
to love our neighbours as ourselves,
for every time our hearts resist your call.
Forgive our pride and apathy,
and when our eyes neglect to see
the image of our Maker in us all.
Come, and search the heart
of your church, Oh God.
Set our feet to always walk your way.
May each footstep show your righteousness and grace.
Forgive us when our habits lead
to exploitation, sin, and greed,
when lesser things distract us with desire.
Forgive us when our daily lives
complicitly consume the lies
that you will not provide all we require.
Come, and search the heart
of your church, Oh God.
Set our feet to always walk your way.
May each footstep show your righteousness and grace.
Teach us to treasure mercy
act with justice,
to walk in humility with You.
(Repeat)
May each footstep show your righteousness and grace.

On the night he was betrayed
Jesus took the paschal bread,
and as he broke the loaf apart
we hear what He said:
"This is my body, broken, given for you.
Take, and eat in remembrance of me".
Then He lifted high the cup;
sign of Covenantal grace,
now a symbol of the new:
Jesus in our place.
“This is my blood now poured out, given for you.
Take and drink in remembrance of me"
So we break this bread,
and we take this wine.
We proclaim his death
until the end of time.
(Repeat)
"This is my body, broken, given for you.
Take, and eat in remembrance of me".
“This is my blood now poured out, given for you.
Take and drink in remembrance of me".
“Eat and drink in remembrance of me”.
