1. Lord of the DanceI danced in the morning when the world wasbegun,And I danced in the moon and the stars andthe sun.I came down from heaven and I danced onthe earth.At Bethlehem I had my birth.

Refrain:Dance, dance wherever you may be.I am the Lord of the dance said He.And I’ll lead you all wherever you may be.And I’ll lead you all in the dance, said He.

I danced for the scribe and the pharisee,But they would not dance and they wouldn’tfollow me.I danced for the fishermen, for James andJohn.They came with me and the dance went on.

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured thelame.The holy people said it was a shame.They whipped and they stripped and theyhung me high,And they left me there on a cross to die.

I danced on a Friday when the sky turnedblack.It’s hard to dance with the devil on yourback.They buried my body and they thought I wasgone,But I am the dance and I still go on.

They cut me down but I leaped up high,For I am the dance that can never, never die.I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me,For I am the Lord of the dance said he!

2. Children of the LightRefrain:We are children, children of the light,We are shining, in the darkness of the night,Hope for this world, joy through all the land,Touch the heart of everyone, takeeverybody’s hand.

Come and gather round the flame,Share the light in God’s name,We the children of the light.As the wind blows where it will,Spread the news to everyone,There’s still plenty of time for we have justbegun.

Join the song of all the earth,We’ve a dream, a dream to share,And a promise of rebirth.Let the earth feel the warmth,Of the love there in your heart,We have many a dream and promises tokeep.

3. Companions on the JourneyWe are companions on the journey,Breaking bread and sharing life,And in the love we bear is the hope weshare,For we believe in the love of our God,We believe in the love of our God.

No longer strangers to each other,No longer strangers in God’s house,We are fed and we are nourished,By the strength of those who care, (2x)

We have been gifted with each other,And we are called by the word of the Lord,To act with justice, to love tenderly,To walk humbly with our God, (2x)

We will seek and we will find,We will knock and the door will be opened,We will ask and it shall be given,For we believe in the love of our God, (2x)

We are made for the glory of God,For service in the name of Jesus,To walk side by side with hope in our hearts,For we believe in the love of our God, (2x)

4. The Servant SongWill you let me be your servant?Let me be as Christ to you;Pray that I may have the grace to,Let you be my servant, too.

We are pilgrims on a journey,We are travellers on the road;

We are here to help each other,Walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ light for you,In the nighttime of your fear;I will hold my hand out to you,Speak the peace you long to hear,

I will weep when you are weeping;When you laugh I’ll laugh with you.I will share your joy and sorrow,‘Til we’ve seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven,We shall find such harmony,Born of all we’ve known together,Of Christ’s love and agony.

Will you let me be your servant?Let me be as Christ to you;Pray that I may have the grace to,Let you be my servant, too.

5. Song of CommunityWe’ll weave a love that greens sure asspring,Then deepens in summer to the fall autumnbrings,Resting still in winter to spiral again,Together, my friends, we’ll weave on, we’llweave on.

Refrain:A love that heals, friend, that bends friend,That rising and turning then yields, friend.Like the mountain to rain or frost in thespring,Or darkness that turns with the dawn,It’s by turning, turning, turning, my friend,By turning that love moves on.

We’ll weave a love that opens our eyes,To see one another beyond all disguise,Where our trust like water will wash awaylies,

Page 11: Prayer Section Index of Titles and Important Lineslarchecommons.ca/users/upload/lyrics_1--prayer_songs.pdf · Prayer Section Index of Titles and Important Lines Abide with Me

Together, my friends, we’ll weave on, we’llweave on.We’ll weave a love that touches our pain,That comes like the water to drought-fevered plains,So the roots, once withered, sing praise tothe rain,Together, my friends, we’ll weave on, we’llweave on.

We’ll weave a love that holds the despised,The stranger who wanders, the focus of lies,We’ll stand sure as mountains with Earth’svictimized,Together, my friends, we’ll weave on, we’llweave on.We’ll weave a love with roots growing deep,And sap pushing branches to wake from theirsleep,Bearing leaves burnt amber with morning’sfull sweep,Together, my friends, we’ll weave on, we’llweave on.

6. Simple Gifts‘Tis a gift to be simple, ‘tis a gift to be free,‘Tis a gift to come down where we ought tobe.And when we find ourselves in the place justright,‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.When true simplicity is gained,To bow and to bend we will not be ashamed.To turn, turn will be our delight,‘Til by turning, turning we come ‘roundright.

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullnessthereof,Its streets, its slums, as well as stars above.Salvation is here where we laugh, where wecry,Where we seek and love, where we live anddie.When true liberty is found,

By fear and by hate we will no more bebound,In love and in life we will find a new birth,In peace and in freedom redeem the earth.

7. How Could Anyone Ever Tell You?How could anyone ever tell you, you wereanything less than beautiful?How could anyone ever tell you, you wereless than whole?How could anyone fail to notice that yourloving is a miracle?How deeply you’re connected to my soul.

8. BeautifulBeautiful, beautiful, Jesus is beautiful,And Jesus makes beautiful things of my life.Carefully, touching me, causing my eyes tosee,That Jesus makes beautiful things of my life.

9. May the Blessings of God Rest upon YouMay the blessings of God rest upon you.May God’s peace abide with you.May God’s presence illuminate your heart.Now and forevermore.

Que l’amour de Dieu repose sur toi.Que sa paix demeure en toi.Que sa présence illumine ton couer.Maintenant et à jamais.

10. L’Arche PrayerOh Yahweh, we ask you to bless us,And keep us in your love,May l’Arche be a true home,Where the poor in spirit may find life;A place where those who are suffering,May find comfort and peace,Lord, give us hearts that are open,Hearts that are humble and gentle,So we may welcome those you send, With tenderness and compassion,

Give us hearts full of mercy, That we may love and serve;And where discord is found, May we be able to heal and bring peace,And see in the one who is suffering, The living presence of your Son.Lord, through the life we are sharing, We ask you to bless us.Through the eyes of those who are rejected,We ask you to smile on us.

Lord, grant freedom and fellowship, And unity to all the world;And on the day of your coming, Welcome all people into your Kingdom.Amen.

11. Pilgrims TogetherRefrain:No longer strangers but pilgrims together,Called to be woven like threads on the loom,Drawn by the one God who thirsts forcommunion,Called by the piper, called by the tune,

Though we come from many nations,And our faith has many names,

Across oceans, over mountains,On these paths of peace we came,To be together in the walking,In the resting in the meal,And when the blessed breath of eveningcomes,As one the pilgrims kneel,

We know our thirst for God is a blessing,We know our hunger is not a curse,We know our emptiness is sacred room,And the last shall be first,We are lovers of communion,We are building with our clay,A house for God to dwell with us,Let us be the house we pray,

Every thread that’s sewn is different,There are no two quite the same,And all the colours make strange rainbows,God’s promises made plain,We submit to the great weaver,Let our pattern be the weaver’s refrain,Our God the God of difference,Calls each of us by name,

12. The BeatitudesBlessed are you, the poor who trust theFather with your lives,For within your heart is born the kingdom ofthe Lord.Blessed are you, the sorrowing, who knowyour Father wise,For within your heart is born the kingdom ofthe Lord.

Refrain:Let your light shine for all the world to see,The brightness of your life within, the peacethat sets you free.Let your light shine to fill your nights anddays,All will see the deeds you do and give yourFather praise.

13. Blessed Are TheyBlessed are they, the poor in spirit, theirs isthe kingdom of God.Blessed are they, full of sorrow, they shall beconsoled.

14. Peace PrayerLord, make me a means of your peace.Where there’s hatred grown, let me sowyour love.Where there’s injury, Lord, let forgivenessbe my sword.Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Lord, make me a means of your peace.Where there’s doubt and fear, let me sowyour faith.In this world’s despair, give me hope in youto share.Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Lord, make me a means of your peace.When there’s sadness here, let me sow yourjoy.When the darkness nears, may your lightdispel our fears.Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Lord, grant me to seek and to shareLess to be consoled than to help console,Less be understood than to understand yourgood.Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Lord, grant me to seek and to share;To receive love less than to give love free.Just to give in you, just receiving from yourtree.Lord, make me a means of your peace.

Lord, grant me to seek and to share;To forgive in you, you’ve forgiven me;For to die in you is eternal life to me.Lord, make me a means of your peace.

15. Make Me a Channel of Your PeaceMake me a channel of your peace.Where there is hatred let me bring your love.Where there is injury your pardon, Lord,And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.

Refrain:Oh Master, grant that I may never seek,So much to be consoled as to console,To be understood as to understand,To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.Where there’s despair in life let me bringhope.Where there is darkness, only light,And where there’s sadness, ever joy.

Make me a channel of your peace.It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,In giving to all people we receive,And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

16. Come and Find the Quiet CentreCome and find the quiet centre in thecrowded life we lead,Find the room for hope to enter, find theframe where we are freed,Clear the chaos and the clutter, clear oureyes, that we can see,All the things that really matter, be at peace,and simply be,

Silence is a friend who claims us, cools theheat and slows the pace,God it is who speaks and names us, knowsour being, face to face,Making space within our thinking, liftingshades to show the sun,Raising courage when we’re shrinking,finding scope for faith begun,

In the Spirit let us travel, open to eachother’s pain,Let our loves and fears unravel, celebrate thespace we gain,There’s a place for deepest dreaming, there’sa time for heart to care,In the Spirit’s lively scheming there is alwaysroom to spare!

17. I Lift My Eyes to the Quiet HillsI lift my eyes to the quiet hills,In the press of a busy day,As green hills stand in a dusty land,So God is my strength and stay,

I lift my eyes to the quiet hills,To a calm that is mine to share,Secure and still in the Father’s will,And kept by the Father’s care,

I lift my eyes to the quiet hills,With a prayer as I turn to sleep,By day, by night, through the dark and light,My shepherd will guard his sheep,

I lift my eyes to the quiet hills,And my heart to the Father’s throne,In all my ways, to the end of days,the Lord will preserve his own,

18. Draw the Circle WideRefrain:Draw the circle wide,Draw it wider still,Let this be our song,No-one stands alone,Standing side by side,Draw the circle wide,

God the still point of the circle,‘Round whom all creation turns,Nothing lost, but held forever,In God’s gracious arms,

Let our hearts touch far horizons,So encompass great and small,Let our loving know no borders,Faithful to God’s call,

Let the dreams we dream be larger,Than we’ve ever dreamed before,Let the dream of Christ be in us,Open every door,

19. Go Make a DifferenceRefrain:Go make a difference, we can make adifference,Go make a difference in the world,Go make a difference, we can make adifference,Go make a difference in the world,

We are the salt of the earth, called to let thepeople see,The love of God for you and me,We are the light of the world, not to behidden but be seen,Go make a difference in the world,

We are the hands of Christ, called to let thepeople see,The face of God for all to see,We are the spirit of hope, we are the voice ofpeace,Go make a difference in the world,

So let your love shine on, let it shine for allto see,Go make a difference in the world,And the spirit of Christ, will be with us as wego,Go make a difference in the world,

20. Give Thanks with a Grateful HeartGive thanks with a grateful heart,Give thanks to the Holy One,Give thanks because he’s given,Jesus Christ, his Son, (repeat)

And now, let the weak say, “I am strong,”Let the poor say, “I am rich,”Because of what the Lord has done for us,

21. Will You Come and Follow Me?Will you come and follow me if I but callyour name?Will you go where you don’t know andnever be the same?Will you let my love be shown, will you letmy name be known,Will you let my life be grown in you and youin me?

Will you leave yourself behind if I but callyour name?Will you care for cruel and kind and never bethe same?Will you risk the hostile stare should yourlife attract or scare?Will you let me answer prayer in you andyou in me?

Will you let the blinded see if I but call yourname?Will you set the prisoners free and never bethe same?Will you kiss the leper clean, and do such asthis unseen,And admit to what I mean in you and you in me?

Christ, your summons echoes true when youbut call my name.Let me turn and follow you and never be thesame.In your company I’ll go where your love andfootsteps show.Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you andyou in me.

22. Part of the FamilyRefrain:Come in, come in and sit down, you are apart of the family.We are lost and we are found, and we are apart of the family.

You know the reason why you came, and noreason can explain;So share in the laughter and cry in the pain,for we are a part of the family.God is with us in this place like a mother’swarm embrace,We’re all forgiven by God’s grace for we area part of the family.

Children and elders, middlers and teens,singles and doubles and in-betweens,Strong eighty-fivers and streetwise sixteens,we are a part of the family.Greeters and shoppers, long-time and new,nobody here has a claim on a pew, And whether we’re many or whether we’refew, we are a part of the family.

There’s life to be shared in the bread and thewine, we are the branches, God is the vine.This is God’s temple, it’s not yours or mine,but we are a part of the family.There’s rest for the weary and health for usall, there’s a yoke that is easy and a burdenthat’s small.So come in and worship and answer the call,for we are a part of the family.

23. Gather Us InHere in this place a new light is streaming,Now is the darkness vanished away.See in this space our fears and ourdreamings,Brought here to you in the light of this day.Gather us in, the lost and forsaken,Gather us in, the blind and the lame;Call to us now, and we shall awaken,We shall arise at the sound of our name.

Here we will take the wine and the water,Here we will take the bread of new birth,Here you shall call your sons and yourdaughters,Call us anew to be salt for the earth.Give us to drink the wine of compassion,Give us to eat the bread that is you;Nourish us well, and teach us to fashion,Lives that are holy and hearts that are true.

Not in the dark of building’s confining,Not in some heaven, light years away,But here in this place the new light is shining.Now is the kingdom, now is the day.Gather us in and hold us for ever,Gather us in and make us your own;Gather us in, all peoples together,Fire of love in our flesh and our bone.

Lord, see my goods my possessions,In my boat you find no power no wealth,Will you accept, then, my nets and labour.

Lord, take my hands and direct them,Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,Returning love for the love you gave me.

Lord, as I drift on the waters,Be the resting place of my restless heart,My life’s companion, my friend and refuge.

Oh Christ, who changes not, abide with me,

What through the tempest loudly roars,I hear the truth, it liveth,What though the darkness ‘round me close,Songs in the night it giveth,No storm can shake my inmost calm,While to that rock I’m clinging,Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth,How can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,And hear their death-knells ringing,When friends rejoice both far and near,How can I keep from singing?

In prison cell and dungeon vile,Our thoughts to them are winging,When friends by shame are undefiled,How can I keep from singing?

I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin,I see the blue above it,And day by day this pathway clears,Since first I learned to love it,The peace of God restores my soul,A fountain ever springing,All things are mine since I am loved;How can I keep from singing?

Though Satan should buffet, though trialsshould come,Let this blessed assurance control,That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,And hath shed his own blood for my soul.

My sin – oh, the bliss of this gloriousthought,My sin – not in part, but the whole,Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more,Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shallbe sight,The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,The trump shall resound and the Lord shalldescend,“Even so” – it is well with my soul.

For the joy of ear and eye, For the heart and mind’s delight,For the mystic harmony,Linking sense to sound and sight.

For the joy of human love,Brother, sister, parent, child,Friends on earth and friends above,For all gentle thoughts and mild.

For your Church that evermore,

Lifts its holy hands above,Offering up on every shore,Its pure sacrifice of love.

71. God Created Earth and HeavenGod created earth and heaven,God commanded light to be;Separated light from darkness,Set the bounds for land and sea.While God’s spirit on the waters,In God’s love did gently brood,Life on earth began to quicken,And God saw that it was good!

In the vastness of the heavens,God set fiery stars so bright,Suns with their own circling planets,Moons aglow with borrowed light.Marking out each passing season,God let summer’s glory fade,Autumn turn to winter darkness,Spring renew all God had made.

God’s hand carved the soaring mountains,Hills and valleys, rolling plains,Bathing them with streams and oceans,Gentle dew, refreshing rains.God brought forth earth’s living creatures,Fish and birds in bright array,Trees and plants with dazzling flowers,God’s own wonder to display.

In God’s image we were fashioned,Male and female God did make,Gave us care of all creation,In God’s work we do partake.Sing with joy the Father’s glory,Sound the praises of the Son,Ever bless the Holy Spirit,God eternal, three in one.

Sing of Jesus, son of Mary,In the home at Nazareth.Toil and labour cannot weary,Love enduring unto death.Constant was the love he gave her,Though he went forth from her side,Forth to preach, and heal, and suffer,‘Til on Calvary he died.

Glory be to God the Father;Glory be to God the Son,Glory be to God the Spirit,Glory to the Three in One.From the heart of blessed Mary,From all saints the Son ascends,And the Church the strain reechoes,Unto earth’s remotest ends.

Silent waters rocking on the morning of ourbirth,

Like an empty cradle waiting to be filled,And from the heart of God the Spirit movedupon the earth,Like a mother breathing life into her child,

Many were the dreamers whose eyes weregiven sight,When the Spirit filled their dreams with lifeand form,Desert turned to gardens, broken heartsfound new delight,And then down the ages still she flew,

Gentle girl in Galilee, a gentle breeze shecame,A whisper softly calling in the dark,The promise of a child of peace whose reignwould never end,Mary sang the Spirit song within her heart,

Flying to the river she waited circling high,Above the child now grown so full of grace,As he rose up from the water, she sweptdown from the sky,And she carried him away in her embrace,

Long after deep darkness that fell upon theworld,After dawn returned in flame of rising sunThe Spirit touched the earth again, again herwings unfurled,Bringing life in wind and fire as she flew on,

Jesus loves me, this I know,For the birds they tell me so,Tell me by their merry song,Singing now the whole day long,

Jesus loves me, this I know,For the sunbeams tell me so,Tell me by their gladsome light,Shining clear from morn ‘til night,

Jesus loves me, this I know,For the raindrops tell me so,Tell me as they gently fall,On the trees, the flowers, and all.
