(Refrain) What is the call?
What is the cost?
What am I living for?
What would I die for?
I hear you call to me
Will I choose to hear what You will say?
(Pre-refrain) Or will I turn away, cling to my fears,
deny the words I've longed to hear?
Forsake the one who draws me near,
so near...and still I ask:

You reach to take my hand,
will I choose to welcome your embrace?

1. When I am scorned,
and mocked with hatred,
my heart is torn by looks of ridicule,
I taste the

bitter cup
that Jesus drank,
pouring out his life for the many
and for me.
Refrain:
When he said
"Love one another,
as I have loved you through the pain,
as I have loved you with passion now
humbly live your life for the many and for me."

Celebramos y recordamos
familia y amigos.
Though death's grip has taken them,
they're here in this bread, in this wine,
in this home,

in our bones!

a banquet feast, a living sign.
We join the blessed communion,

within and beyond our breath.

know that I am holding you,
my precious one.

Celebrate the parable and story,

working night and day,
planning all the wonders of creation,
setting each equation,
genius at play:
Refrain
3. Warm father God,
hugging every child,
feeling all the strains of human living,
caring and forgiving
till we've reconciled:
Refrain
4. Old, aching God,
grey with endless care,
calmly piercing evil's new disguises,
glad of good surprises,
wiser than despair:
5. Young, growing God,
eager, on the move,
saying "No" to falsehood and unkindness,
crying out for justice,
giving all you have:
Refrain
6. Great, living God,
never fully known,
joyful darkness far beyond our seeing,
closer to our breathing,
everlasting home:

Text by F.P. Green
1. He healed the darkness of my mind,
the day he gave my sight to me..
This
It was not sin that made me blind;
it was no sinner made me see.
2. Let others call my faith a lie,
or try to stir up doubt in me.
This Jesus does what none can do;
I once was blind but now I see!
3. Ask me not how!
But I know who has opened up new worlds to me:
This Jesus does what none can do;
I once was blind but now I see.

Refrain:
Sumus ecclesia!
We are the church, your holy people.
Sumus ecclesia!
We are the body of Christ.
Yes, we are your people,
and you are our God.
1. We stand together now in Christ;
our light, our hope and our salvation.
Rooted in faith, united in God's love,
our common future we embrace!
Refrain
2. We dare to hope, we dare to dream,
shaping a world where all are welcome!
We are compassion and forgiving love,
Your joyful instruments of peace!
