Hearts On FireWords & music: Michael Mangan

©1999 Litmus Productions, Australia & WLP for North America

We come from Ancient Dreamtime,From the bush or by the sea.We come from a thousand city streets.We are the rich and lowly, We are the poor and strong.We come to share this moment,Gathering here, singing one song.



With our hearts on fire With the love of Jesus.Hearts on fire, let’s spread the Word.Hearts on fire, feel the Spirit blazing.Hearts on fire, Called to live the Good News in this land.Setting hearts on fire, With our hearts on fire,Setting hearts on fire.

We long to live in freedom, We yearn for unity.We dream of justice, joy and peace.Spirit fill us with your power.Jesus help us live your call.O Creator give us wisdom,So we will be Good News for all.

With our hearts on fire With the love of Jesus.Hearts on fire, let’s spread the Word.Hearts on fire, feel the Spirit blazing.Hearts on fire, Called to live the Good News in this land.Setting hearts on fire, With our hearts on fire,Setting hearts on fire.

We are the voice of Jesus, We are his heart & hands.We are his body in our land.Stand up! Live the story. To all the world proclaim.Go out! to all creation,Lighting the fire, fanning the flames.



With our hearts on fire With the love of Jesus.Hearts on fire, let’s spread the Word.Hearts on fire, feel the Spirit blazing.Hearts on fire, Called to live the Good News in this land.Setting hearts on fire, with our hearts on fire,Setting hearts on fire.

Moving On, Reaching OutWords & music: Michael Mangan

© 2001 Litmus Productions, Brisbane, Australia

The time has come to say goodbye,How the years have slipped away.It seems like only yesterdayThat we started on our journey in this place.Sharing laughter, love and tearsIn good times and in bad,We just can’t help but feel a little sad.

We’re moving on, reaching out,We’re gonna fly up to the stars,The time has come to make a bold new start.We’re moving on, reaching out,Setting sail for new horizons,But wherever we go, we’ll always holdThese memories deep in our hearts.

We thank our God for such great gifts,All the treasures in our hearts.We’ve heard Good News of Jesus ChristTo lead us on the way and light the path.We’ve been guided to this moment,Together you and me,We thank all you who helped us on our journey.

As the seasons roll byAnd we’re scaling new heights,You know that we’ll treasure these times.As we’re soaring new skiesWe’ll know deep insideThis is where we learned how to fly.

Make A Little DifferenceWords & music: Michael Mangan


We don’t have to move mighty mountains,We don’t have to swim stormy seas.We don’t have to change the world overnight,We don’t have to do famous deeds.

Wherever we are, whoever we meet,In everything we do and say.If we get in the groove & let the Spirit moveWe can make a little difference every day.

It takes a million years to make one diamond,It needs a billion grains of sand to make a beachIt takes a thousand years for a forest to grow,We just have to plant the tiny seeds.

Just a single step begins each journey,A race that’s never started can’t be won,Every drop of rain helps the mighty river flow,We can live the power of one.

Just a helping hand or a friendly smile,Doing what we know is right,Standing strong against the tide,These little things can change somebody’s life.

Cosmic Hymn Of PraiseWords & music: Michael Mangan


Sun and moon, Praise God. Shining stars, Praise God.Highest heavens, Praise God.Let all creation sing.

Alleluia! Lift your voices!Join creation’s cosmic hymn of praise.

Hills and mountains, Praise God.Rivers, forests, Praise God.Living creatures, Praise God.Let all creation sing.


Men and women, Praise God.Little children, Praise God.Old people, Praise God.Let all creation sing.


Every nation, Praise God.Mighty rulers, Praise God.Lowly people, Praise God.Let all creation sing.

Jesus Is The LightWords & music: Michael Mangan


We don’t want to walk in darkness,We don’t want to live in pain.We know one who lights the darkness,Jesus is his name.

He is the Light, the Light of Life.If we follow him We’ll always share in God’s own life.He is the Light, the Light of Life.He lights our way each and every day.Jesus is the Light. Jesus is the Light.

We need help to make our journey,Someone strong to lead the way.We know one to guide our journey,Jesus is his name.

We need peace when we are troubled,To lift the load and break the chains.We know one who gives us freedom,Jesus is his name.

St Teresa’s PrayerWords & music: Michael Mangan

© 2001 Litmus Productions, for Australia & World Library Publcations for North America

Christ has no body now but mine,No hands, no feet on Earth but mine.Christ has no body now but mine,Let me be Christ, let me shine.

Mine are the eyes with which he looks,Looks with love upon this world.Mine are the feet with which he walks,Walks to do good in this world.

Mine are the hands with which he works,Works for peace here in this world.Mine is the voice with which he speaks,Speaks his message to this world.

Mine is the face with which he smiles,Smiles a welcome to this world.Mine is the heart with which he loves,Loves all people in this world.

I Am The WayWords & music: Michael Mangan

© 2001 Litmus Productions, for Australia & World Library Publcations for North America

I am the Way. I am the Truth.If you want to know God,Come with me, I am the Life.I am the Way. I am the Truth.I am the Way, I am the Truth,I am the Life.

Do not let your hearts be troubled.Trust in God and trust in me.I have prepared a place for you,A place where you can always live with me.

I am one in God and God is in me.All who believe can do great things.Come to know God by knowing me,For I’m in God and God is here in me.

I will not leave you orphans.I will come back to you.Even if the world cannot see me,You will live in me and I in you.

Jesus Our SaviourWords & music: Michael Mangan


When the day is long And the night is dark and dreary.When we’re feeling lost and alone.When our dreams lie shatteredAnd sorrow fills our hearts,Hold us close, carry us back home.

Jesus Our Saviour,Help us to see your face.Show us your guiding light.You will show the way.You will show the way.

When the storm clouds gatherAnd we just can’t see the sun.When are hearts are broken and in pain.When we feel abandonedAnd drifting in despair,Lift us up, give us hope again.

When everything seems hopelessAnd we’re tired and afraid.When the darkness drowns another day.When the load is heavy And the road seems far too long,Give us strength, lead us on your way.

Given For YouWords & music: Michael Mangan Based on Matthew 26:26-29


O take, take and eat.O take, take and drink.This is my body, this is my blood.O eat of this breadAnd drink from this cup.This I have given for you.

We are called to share This table of new life:Old and young, weak and strong.Come and eat, Come and drink from the cup of life.Come and lift your voices, join the song.

We are called to share The story of our lives:Rich and poor, blind and lame.Sharing together in this mystery of life,As we gather here in Jesus' name.

We are called to share The journey of our lives :Lost and lonely, broken hearts.Bringing our joys and hurts, Our hopes and dreams.Though one body, we are many parts.

The Bread O LifeWords & music: Michael Mangan Based on Matthew 26:26-29


I am the bread of life.Those who believe in me shall not hunger.Those who believe will never thirst.I am the bread, The bread of life.

Take and eat of my body.Take and drink Of my blood poured out for you.I have come to give life.

Take this bread freshly broken.Grown from grain Scattered on the ground to die.Death gives way to new life.

Take this cup of salvation.Take and drink Of this fruit crushed from the vine.Death gives way to new life.

Many parts of one body.Gathered here as the people of God.Sharing in Jesus the Christ.

Come to me you who labour.Come and rest, I will hold you in my heart.I have come to give life.

One Body, One PeopleWords & music: Michael Mangan


For we are one body, one people,Sharing our journey.For we are one body, one people,Sharing in Christ.

We are as many as the stars.We are the children of God’s love.We are the tellers of the story.Though many we are one.

We are the sand upon the shore,Part of time’s eternal tide.Ebbing, flowing, growing, changing.Through the seasons of our lives.

The Love SongWords & music: Michael Mangan


If I have all the eloquence of angels but do not have love,I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.If I have the gift of prophecy, Understanding all the mysteries there are,If I have faith enough to move mountainsBut do not have love, I am nothing at all.If I give away everything that I possess But do not have love,It will do me no good whatsoever.

Love is the reason, love is the key.Love is the answer for you and for me.Love lasts forever, love has no end.I’m tellin’ you people That you can depend … on love.Oh love, love, love, love, love, love.

Love is always patient and kind.It is never jealous, boastful or conceited.Love is never rude or selfish.It is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope,And to endure whatever comes.There are three things that last: faith, hope and love;And the greatest of these is love.

Love is the reason, love is the key.Love is the answer for you and for me.Love lasts forever, love has no end.I’m tellin’ you people That you can depend … on love.Oh love, love, love, love, love, love.

May God bless us and keep us.May God’s goodness shine on us.May we see God’s face

And live in God’s own peace.

Amen, Amen, Amen.
