The Gathering Lyrics

Sing Wherever I Go

All my life, all I knowGod’s been good, good to my soulMountain high, valley lowI’m gonna sing wherever I go

Said all my life, all I knowGod’s been good, good to my soulMountain high, valley lowI’m gonna sing wherever I go

God is for me, He’s not against meI will hold to the plans He has for meWhen I’m broken, He will fix meI will call on the name of the Lord

Said all my life, all I knowGod’s been good, good to my soulMountain high, valley lowI’m gonna sing wherever I go

He’s my heart song in my sorrowHe’s my hope and my strength for tomorrowAnd when the storms rise all around meI will call on the name of the Lord (here we go)

All my life, all I knowGod’s been good, good to my soulMountain high, valley lowI’m gonna sing wherever I go

Said all my life, all I knowGod’s been good, good to my soulMountain high, valley lowI’m gonna sing wherever I go

I got joy, joy, joyDeep in my soulI will sing, sing, singWherever I go

All my life, all I knowGod’s been good, good to my soulMountain high, valley lowI’m gonna sing wherever I go

To The Table

Hear the voice of love that’s callingThere’s a chair that waits for youAnd a Friend who understandsEverything you’re going through

But you keep standing at a distanceIn the shadow of your shameThere’s a light of hope that’s shiningWon’t you come and take your place?

And bring it all to the tableThere’s nothing He ain’t seen beforeFor all your sin, all your sorrow, and your sadnessThere’s a Saviour and He callsBring it all to the table

He can see the weight you carryThe fears that hold your heartBut through the cross you’ve been forgivenYou’re accepted as you are

So bring it all to the tableNothing He ain’t seen beforeFor all your trials, all your worries, and your burdensThere’s a Saviour and He callsBring it all to the table

Bring it all

You can bring it all

And come on in, take your placeThere’s no one who’s turned awayAll you sinners, all you saintsCome right in and find your graceCome on in, take your placeThere’s no one who’s turned awayAll you sinners, all you saintsCome on in and find your grace

And bring it all to the tableThere’s nothing He ain’t seen beforeFor all your sin, all your sorrow, and your sadnessThere’s a Saviour and He callsBring it all to the table

*Hymn 539: “O Spirit of the Living God”
O Spirit of the living God,
thou light and fire divine,
descend upon thy church once more,
and make it truly thine.
Fill it with love and joy and power,
with righteousness and peace;
till Christ shall dwell in human hearts,
and sin and sorrow cease.

Blow, wind of God! With wisdom blow
until our minds are free
from mists of error, clouds of doubt,
which blind our eyes to thee.
Burn, winged fire! Inspire our lips
with flaming love and zeal,
to preach to all thy great good news,
God’s glorious commonweal.

Teach us to utter living words
of truth which all may hear,
the language all may understand
when love speaks loud and clear;
till every age and race and clime
shall blend their creeds in one,
and earth shall form one family
by whom thy will is done.

So shall we know the power of Christ
who came this world to save;
so shall we rise with him to life
which soars beyond the grave;
and earth shall win true holiness,
which makes thy children whole;
till, perfected by thee, we reach
creation’s glorious goal!

*Affirmation of Faith 883
We are not alone, we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the church:
to celebrate God’s presence,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God. Amen.

*Gloria Patri 70
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

until my heart is pure,
until with thee I will one will,
to do and to endure.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,

till all this earthly part of me

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
