Hymns

I am the bread of life.
He who comes to me shall not hunger;
he who believes in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
unless the Father draw him.

And I will raise him up,
and I will raise him up,
and I will raise him up on the last day.

The bread that I will give
is my flesh for the life of the world,
and he who eats of this bread,
he shall live for ever,
he shall live for ever.

Unless you eat
of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood,
and drink of his blood,
you shall not have life within you.

I am the resurrection,
I am the life.
He who believes in me
even if he die,
he shall live for ever.

Yes, Lord, I believe
that you are the Christ,
the Son of God,
who has come
into the world.

I am the Light, Bringing you out of darkness,
So come, take my light to the world.
I am the Bread, you must feed to the hungry,
The wine that must fill every heart.

Foxes have holes, birds have their nests
But the Son of Man has no place to rest.
Come follow me be the light of the nations.
Leave your nets and come follow me.

I am the Life that must change ev’ry life
And the Way that must alter your ways.
I am the Truth and my word is the cross
You must take if you want to be free.

I am the Sower, Come work in my vineyard, my field.
Tend my vines, sow the grain,
And should it fall to the ground
It can only spring up, with new life, hundredfold.

I am the shepherd Come into the sheepfold
To help feed my lambs, feed my sheep.
Bring back the straying, and bind up their wounds, 
And rejoice when you’ve found what was lost.

I call you from your brothers, I send you in my name.
I'll light you with my Spirit's fire to burn as my love's flame. 
I call you from your sisters and send you in my name. 

Tell them what I told to you, my words will be your own. 
They'll find me in the news you bring 
As you make my secrets known. 

Bring me all they have and need, because my Father cares. 
Bring back his blessing and his peace 
And the food of life he shares.

Be a shepherd to my flock and love as I have done. 
So they can see what brother/sister means 
And can feel that they are one.

I dare not sing of Jesus pain and anguish,
when he was crowned with thorns and mocked with jeers;
Of scourge and nails, of blood and water flowing
Of death that crowned his three and thirty years.
But I'll proclaim He heals our broken spirits,
He takes away our sin and calms our fear
And lifts the burden from the heavy-laden.
Look to the cross, the Saviour of the world is here!

There from the cross can Jesus win the nations?
Did God bequeath a curse or heritage?
Will Jesus meet the needs and aspirations
Of east and west, of sinner and of sage?
Of this I'm sure, all flesh will see His glory,
The grain that fell will yield a hundredfold,
When Christ, the rising sun, will shine in splendour
Acclaim the cross where Jesus died with love untold.

I fall on my knees to the father of Jesus
The Lord who has shown us the Glory of God

May Christ find a dwelling place of faith in our hearts
May our life be rooted in Love, rooted in Love

May He in His love give us strength for our living
The strength of His Spirit ; the Glory of God

May grace and peace be in God 
Our Father and in His Son

I fall on my knees to the father of Jesus
The Lord who has shown us the Glory of God

I give my hands to do your work
And Jesus Lord I give them willingly
I give my feet to go your way
And every step I shall take carefully

O the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
O the joy of the Lord is my help my help
For the power of His Spirit is in my heart
And the joy of the Lord is my strength

I give my eyes, to see the world
And every one in just the way you do
I give my tongue to speak your words
To spread your name and freedom giving, truth

I give my mind in every way
So each though I have will come from you
I give my spirit to your O Lord
And every day my prayer will sing anew

I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.

Tho' none go with me, I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus;
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus,
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus;
No turning back, No turning back.

The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.

I have loved you with an everlasting love
I have called you, and you are mine (x2)

seek the face of the lord and long for him
he will bring you his light and his peace

...his joy and his hope

...his care and his love

I now no longer live; Christ, my Lord, lives in me.
Christ forever my joy, I must walk in His love.

Christ in my mind, my life, my heart.
Christ to the world with joy I must bring.

Christ on my right, my left, around.
Christ to the world with joy I must bring.

Christ is my way, my peace, my light.
Christ to the world with joy I must bring.

Christ my rock, my shield, my strength.
Christ to the world with joy I must bring.

Christ is my Lord, my God, my all.
Christ to the world with joy I must bring.

I rejoiced when I heard the people saying,
Lets go to the temple of the Lord,
And now at last our feet are standing,           
Within your gates, O Jerusalem.
 
Jerusalem, O fairest City,
So strongly built as one united whole,
It is there that the tribes now gather
All the tribes to worship the Lord. Chorus

For the peace of  Jerusalem, pray,
Prosperity to all your dwelling places,
Let there be peace everywhere within your ramparts,
Let there be safety within your towers.
Chorus

For love of my people and my friends,
This is my prayer: may lasting peace be yours,
For the sake of the house of the Lord,
I shall plead and pray for your good.
Chorus

restored me to life from those who sink into the grave.

And my courage will never be spent.

Fill my heart with Your truth and Your light
As I enter with joy in Your sight.

I will trust and will hope in my King.

Glory be to the Father and Son
And the Spirit while ages are run.

I've got a river of life flowing within me;
It makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.
It opens prison doors, sets the captives free.
I've got a river of life flowing within me.

Spring up, O well, within my spirit!
Rise up and tell, so all can hear it!
Spring up, O well, so I experience
That life abundantly.

I've got a river of life flowing within me;
It started gushing up when God set me free.
That I keep the flow is my only plea.
I've got a river of life springing within me.

Once I call His name there's a flow within;
It turns me from my day, makes Him Lord again.
As my spirit burns, Satan cannot win.
Calling, Oh Lord Jesus, keeps the flow within.

I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus
Down in my heart. Where?
Down in my heart! Where?
Down in my heart!
I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus
Down in my heart. Where?
Down in my heart to stay.

And I'm so happy, So very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart
Down in my heart
And I'm so happy, So very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart.

I've got his risen life deep down in my heart...

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart...

I've got the peace that passes understanding...

Iesu, Rex admirabilis, Et triumphator nobilis,
dulcedo ineffabilis, Totus desiderabilis.

Iesu, dulcedo cordium, fons vivus, lumen mentium,
excedens omne gaudium, et omne desiderium.

Te nostra, Iesu, vox sonet, nostri te mores exprimant;
te corda nostra diligent, et nunc, et in perpetuum. Amen.

If we live, it's for the Lord, 
If we die, it's for the Lord, 
For Christ rose to be the Lord 
Of the living and of the dead.

For I know that my Redeemer lives, 
At the end he'll stand upon the earth, 
He shall be a witness by my side, 
He will come to my defence

Where, O death, where is your victory? 
Where, O death, where is your power to hurt? 
For the Lord has conquered sin and death, 
By his cross we are made free! 

We were dead through our own trespasses, 
We obeyed the promptings of the world; 
But with Christ we have now risen, 
By his grace we have been saved. 

Do not sleep as children of the night, 
Stay awake as children of the day. 
For the Lord has risen from the dead: 
It is this that we proclaim.

If you wish to be my disciple, 
Take up your cross and follow me. 

The Foxes have their holes, the birds their nest,
But I have not a place to take my rest. 
Chorus. 

Whoever loves his life, will only lose it,
It’s only sacrifice that brings one gain.
Chorus.

All you who labour, come you who are burdened,
Take up my yoke as well and you’ll find rest. 
Chorus.

The one who holds the plough and looks behind,
My Kingdom cannot serve, my peace won’t find. 
Chorus.

A Servant surely is less than his master,
If they have hated me, they will hate you. 
Chorus.

Take nothing for your pay, no bread, no money,
Your treasure must be one no moth destroys. 
Chorus. .

So let your lions be girt, your lamps aburning,
And be like those who wait for my return. 
Chorus.

You who have followed me, when life is ended,
Will reap a hundredfold eternally. 
Chorus.

In bread we bring you Lord, our body's' labour
In wine we offer you our spirit's grief.
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbor?
But stand united now, in one belief.
For we have gladly heard your Word, your holy Word
And now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring.
Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew,
Our life belongs to you, our Lord and King.

The bread we offer you is blessed and broken,
And it becomes for us our spirit’s food.
Over the cup we bring, your Word is spoken;
Make it your gift to us, your healing blood.
Take all that daily toil, plants in our heart’s poor soil,
Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream.
The chances we have missed, the graces we resist,
Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

In him we live and move and have our being (x2)

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me, and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give
The living water: thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that Light of life I’ll walk Till trav’lling days are done.
