Shine Jesus Shine Lyrics
1. Lord, the light of your love is shining,
in the midst of the darkness, shining.
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us.
Set us free by the truth you now bring us.
Shine on me, shine on me.

Chorus
Shine, Jesus, shine;
fill this land with the Father’s glory.
Blaze, Spirit, blaze;
set out hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow;
flood the nations with grace and mercy.
Send forth your Word, Lord,
and let there be light.

2. Lord, I come to your awesome presence,
from the shadows into your radiance.
By the blood I may enter your brightness.
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness.
Shine on me, shine on me.

REPEAT CHORUS

3. As we gaze on your kingly brightness,
So our faces display your likeness,
ever changing from glory to glory.
Mirrored here, may our lives tell your story.
Shine on me, shine on me.

REPEAT CHORUS

Communion 1: Christ In Me Arise

Communion 2: How Beautiful

Recessional:We Sing With Joy!

I WILL CHOOSE LOVE

Pattern: V1 C V2 B C ~ However, if it’s too long, the pattern will be V1 C V2 C, so be prepared

Verse 1
Love is patient and
Love is kind
Not scornful or jealous
nor does it design
to be rude and selfish
and to anger resign
but rejoices in the truth
and endures for all time
Love rejoices in the truth
and endures for all time

Chorus
Faith, hope and love
The greatest of these is love!
Nothing else matters without love!
Love never fails
Love is ready to give and to trust
So I will choose love…

Verse 2
If I speak like the angels
how can I be heard?
Without love in my heart
they’re just empty words
And I can give all I have
give it all away
But if I give without love
There’s nothing I’ve gained
If I give without love
There’s nothing I’ve gained

Bridge
Love will always forgive
Love will always have trust
Love will always bring hope
and endure whatever may come

REPEAT CHORUS

If anyone is available to do the School Mass, please LMK! Thanks!

Gathering: Cry the Gospel (Spirit and Song I #168)

Preparation: I Will Choose Love (lyrics below)
Note that while I will teach this, this is more of a prayer song.

Communion 1: Here I Am, Lord

Communion 2: How Beautiful

Sending Forth: Your Grace Is Enough (Spirit and Song II – should be in the system)

I WILL CHOOSE LOVE

Verse 1
Love is patient and
Love is kind
Not scornful or jealous
nor does it design
to be rude and selfish
and to anger resign
but rejoices in the truth
and endures for all time
Love rejoices in the truth
and endures for all time

Chorus
Faith, hope and love
The greatest of these is love!
Nothing else matters without love!
Love never fails
Love is ready to give and to trust
So I will choose love…

Verse 2
If I speak like the angels
how can I be heard?
Without love in my heart
they’re just empty words
And I can give all I have
give it all away
But if I give without love
There’s nothing I’ve gained
If I give without love
There’s nothing I’ve gained

Bridge
Love will always forgive
Love will always have trust
Love will always bring hope
and endure whatever may come

REPEAT CHORUS

Note that Verse 2 goes straight into the Bridge, then circles back to the chorus.

Sending Forth: When the Saints Go Marching In

Listen:

Lyrics:

Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

They walked in faith to serve the Lord
They walked in faith to serve the Lord
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
And walk in faith to serve the Lord

We call the saints to pray for us
We call the saints to pray for us
With their sacred intercessions
We call the saints to pray for us

We honor Mary; Joseph too
we call on James, John, and Saint Jude
We call on Philip and Matthias
Peter, Simon and Andrew

We call on Stephen and Damian
Lucy, Agnes, Sebastian
martyrs giving their lives for You Lord
their love for You just had no end

With Bernadette and Francis too
Let me walk in peace with You
and speak as Paul did to Your people
and with John the Baptist be renewed.

Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Can everyone please reply so I can get an idea of who can make it? If you can’t, no problem, I’ll cover it. But it would be great to get as much participation as possible for this Mass. The celebration starts at 6:30 pm, so it would be great if we could get there by 5:00 to rehearse. I am working on a plan, but am also open to suggestions.
