IN BREAD WE BRING YOU LORD

Liturgy of the EucharistOffertory Hymn

In bread we bring you Lord, our bodies labourIn wine we offer you, our spirits griefWe do not ask you Lord, who is my neighbour

But stand united now, one in belief

Oh 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 lives belong to you, Our Lord and King

The bread we offer you, is blessed and brokenAnd it becomes for us, our spirits’ foodOver 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 your Eucharist, take and redeem

Communion RiteCommunion Hymn ISaid The LordIf we eat of the LordAnd we drink of the Lord,Like the Lord we shall all be.Then we live with His life,And we share in His love,And His truth will make us free.

The Lord tells us His plans,

Listen to His commands:

“To the Father come through me;

Share this banquet of love,

Eat my flesh, drink my blood,

Do this in my memory.”

“This command,” says the Lord,

“I give specially to you:

Love each man as I love you.

By this sign all will know

What I have to bestow

Through this love, man I renew.

Communion RiteThanksgiving Hymn In His TimeIn His time, in His timeHe makes all things beautiful, in his timeLord, please show me everyday,As you’re teaching me your way

That you do just what you say, in your time.

In your time, in your time

You make all things beautiful, in your time

Lord my life to you I bring, may each song I have to sing

Be to you a lovely thing, in your time
