THE BEATITUDES

Blessed are the Poor in Spirit For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven Blessed are the Gentle For they shall possess the Land.

Blessed are they, that hunger and thirst after Justice Blessed are they, that suffer gladly for Justice sake.

Blessed are they that Mourn For they shall be comforted Blessed are the Pure of Heart For they shall see GOD.

Blessed are ye, when men revile And harm you And speak all evil, against you untruly for My sake.

Blessed are the Merciful For Mercy they shall find Blessed are the Peacemakers For they shall be called GOD's Children.

PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI

Make 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.

Make me a channel of Your Peace Where there's despair in life let me bring Hope Where there is darkness, only light And where there's sadness ever Joy.

O' 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 It is in pardoning that we are pardoned In giving to all men that we receive And in dying that we're born to eternal Life.

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT

A New Commandment, I Give unto You That you Love One Another As I Have Loved You That You Love One Another As I have loved You.

By this shall all men know, that you are my Disciples If You have love one for another By this shall all men know, that you are my Disciples If You have Love one for Another. (Finish of with Chorus)

GOD IS DWELLING IN MY HEART 

GOD is dwelling in my heart He and I are one All His Joy He gives to me Through Christ His Son And with Jesus in my heart What have I to fear For He is the Son of GOD In my heart He is near.

This Joy GOD gave to you Share it then with others too Tell them that GOD is Love Lift their hearts above.

GOD is dwelling in my heart...

HERE I AM LORD

I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry All who dwell in dark and sin My Hand will save I who made the stars of night I will make their darkness bright Who will bear my light to them Whom shall I send?

Chorus: Here I am, Lord. Is it I Lord I have heard you calling in the night I will go, Lord, if you lead me I will hold your people in my Heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain I have borne my people's pain I have wept for love of them They turn away I will break their hearts of stone Give them hearts for love alone I will speak my word to them Whom shall I send.

Chorus:

I, the Lord of wind and flame I will send the poor and lame I will set a feast for them My Hand will save Finest bread I will provide Till their hearts be satisfied I will give my life to them Whom shall I send.

Chorus:

BE NOT AFRAID 

You shall cross the barren dessert But you shall not die of thirst You shall wonder far in safety Though you do not know the way You shall speak your words to foreign men You shall see the face of GOD and live.

Chorus: Be not afraid, I go before you always Come follow me and I will give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters in the sea You shall not drown If you walk amid the burning flames You shall not be harmed If you stand before the power of hell And death is at your side Know that I am with you through it all.

Chorus:

Blessed are your poor For the Kingdom shall be theirs Blest are you that weep and mourn For one day you shall laugh And if wicked men insult and hate you All because of me Blessed, blessed are you.

PRAISE OF GOD

Welcome all ye noble Saints of old As now before your very eyes unfold The wonders all so long ago foretold.

Elders, martyrs, all are falling down Prophets, patriachs are gathering round What angels longed to see, now man has found.

Chorus:

Who is this who spreads the victory feast Who is this who makes or waring cease Jesus Risen, Saviour, Prince of Peace.

Chorus:

Beggars, lame, and harlots also here Repentant publicans are drawing near Wayward sons come home without a fear.

Worship in the presence of the Lord With Joyful songs, and hearts in one accord And let our Host at table be adored.

When at last this earth shall pass away When Jesus and His Bride are one to stay The Feast of Love is just begun that day.
