A New Commandment I give unto you,
That you love one another As I have loved you. (2)
By this shall all know that you are My disciples,
If you have love one for another. (2)
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
Without my help you can nothing. (2)
I am the true Vine, my Father is the Gardner,
Abide in me and I in you. (2)
True, Love is patient, nor arrogant, nor boastful.
Love bears all things, love is eternal. (2)
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all,
I surrender all,
All to thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord I want to follow Thee;
Lose my life that I may save it,
Through thy cross gain victory.
All to Jesus I surrender;
born of Mary, God’s own Son;
Through this Eucharistic banquet,
Make me Jesus with Thee one.
All to Jesus I surrender,
May I see thee in the poor;
In the fight against oppression,
Let me never Thee ignore.
All to Jesus I surrender,
take me to Thy Father’s side;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that He’s my guide.
As the deer that pants for water so my soul longs after You
You alone are my heart’s desire and I long to worship You.
You alone are my strength, my shield
To you alone does my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire
and I long to worship You.
I want you more than gold or silver, only You can satisfy
You alone are the true joy giver and the apple of my eye.
You’re my friend and You are my brother even though You are my King
I love you more than any other and much more than anything.
Be glad, O people of the earth!
Lift up your heart with song and dance,
for I am with you, yes within you, forever:
you are the heart of my heart.
I will never forget you, O my people;
on the day of anguish I will answer you.
As you join in celebration,
my joy will move among you. Chorus
You shall find a land to be your home,
where sheep and cattle may freely roam,
mountains from which springs
shall flow with living waters. Chorus
I will make your faith burn brightly,
so that others may find life’s fullness:
freedom for all captives
and justice for all nations. Chorus
You shall cross the barren desert,
but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.
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 pow'r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you through it all.
Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.
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 tongues insult and hate you
all because of me,
blessed, blessed are you!
Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.
Beginning today my mornings are Yours,
The hopes that dawn in their light.
Beginning today my evenings and dreams:
My gift to you is my life.
I will always remember the time You first called me
Out of my empty sleep
To waken in me the hope of a new day:
The love I wanted to seek.
You gave me your life Lord, as sign of the springtime
Beginning in me each day.
You made me a person with wonder and love, Lord,
To newly discover your way.
I promise this day I will sing for the world,
The song we begin to share.
To fill up tomorrow with sounds of our love, Lord
The hopes and dreams that we bear.
Blessed are they who are poor in spirit,
Theirs is the Kingdom of God.
Bless us, O Lord, make us poor in spirit;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.
We are the light of the world.
May our light shine before all,
That they may see the good that we do,
And give glory to God.
Blessed are they who are meek and humble,
They will inherit the earth.
Bless us, O Lord, make us meek and humble;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.
Blessed are they who will mourn in sorrow.
They will be comforted.
Bless us, O Lord, when we share their sorrow;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice.
They will be satisfied.
Bless us, O Lord, hear our cry for justice;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.
Blessed are they who show others mercy,
They will know mercy too!
Bless us, O Lord, hear our cry for mercy;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.
Blessed the hearts that are clean and holy,
They will behold the Lord!
Bless us, O Lord, make us pure and holy;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.
Blessed are they who bring peace among you,
They are the children of God!
Bless us, O Lord, may Your peace be with us;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.
Blest those who suffer from persecution,
Theirs is the Kingdom of God.
Bless us O Lord, when they persecute us;
Bless us, O Lord, our God.
Follow me, follow me,
Leave your home and family,
Leave your fishing nets and boats upon the shore.
Leave the seed that you have sown,
Leave the crops that you have grown,
Leave the people you have known and follow me.
The foxes have their holes,
And the swallows have their nests,
But the son of man has no place to lay down.
I do not offer comfort,
I do not offer wealth,
But in me will all happiness be found.
If you would follow me,
You must leave old ways behind.
You must take my cross and follow on my path.
You may be far from loved ones,
You may be far from home,
But my father will welcome you at last.
Although I go away
You will never be alone.
For the spirit will be there to comfort you.
Though all of you may scatter,
Each follow his own path,
Still the spirit of love will lead you home.
Go forth among the people
Seek those of every nation.
Tell them Christ has died for sin,
So a new life could begin,
Tell them how he came to bring salvation.
Go forth among the people,
To those of every station
Share the faith that Jesus gave,
Tell them of its power to save,
Show them by your words and every action.
Let's go among the people,
This is our new vocation
Let them see the love we share,
Let them see it everywhere,
Let them know Christ through our dedication.
Go forth and proclaim the Good News
Making all nations my disciples, alleluia, amen.
O sing a new song to the Lord,
O sing to the Lord, all the earth,
O sing to the Lord, bless his name,
Proclaim his help day by day,
Tell among the nations his glory.
And his wonders among all the peoples.
The Lord is great and worthy of praise,
To be feared above all gods.
The gods of the heathens are naught.
It was the Lord who made the heavens,
His are majesty and state and power,
And splendour in his holy place.
Bring an offering and enter his courts,
And worship the Lord in his temple.
O earth, tremble before him.
Proclaim to the nations: God is King,
The world he made firm in its place;
He will judge the peoples in fairness.
Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad,
Let the sea and all within it thunder praise,
Let the land and all it bears rejoice,
All the trees of the wood shout for joy,
At the presence of the Lord, for he comes,
He comes to rule the earth.
With justice he will rule the world,
He will judge the peoples with his truth.
Give praise to the Father almighty,
To his Son, Jesus Christ the Lord,
To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,
Both now and for ever. Amen.
Go in peace to be Christ's Body,
Go in peace, proclaim his Word.
You have shared his dying and his rising:
Go in peace, Christ lives in you.
But, our treasure is in earthen vessels,
Proving we are weak and need God's strength.
Bearing in our flesh the death of Jesus,
We must show his life at work in us.
Though our outer nature may seem wasted
Daily is the inner self renewed.
For the love of Jesus Christ controls us,
Since we know that one man died for all,
Go, go into the world tell them I’m alive
Go into the streets, tell them that I live,
Oh! that I live in you.
Go, go into the world, claim it for your King,
Go into the streets, dry your people’s tears,
Oh! making all things new.
I tell you now, “Go proclaim”
I give to you my Spirit’s flame.
He is at work, inside of You,
To overcome all the powers of darkness.
Be not afraid, speak my Word,
You’re not alone, I’m always there.
Go tell the world, “Repent, believe!”
The time is ripe and the kingdom is here.
God’s Spirit is in my heart
He has called me and set me apart.
This is what I have to do,
What I have to do
He sent me to give the Good News to the poor
Tell prisoners that they are prisoners no more
Tell blind people that they can see
And set the down trodden free
And go tell everyone the news that the
Kingdom of God has come
And go tell everyone
The news That God’s Kingdom has come.
Just as the Father sent me
So I’m sending you out to be,
My witnesses throughout the world,
The whole of the world
Don’t carry a load in your pack,
You don’t need two shirts on your back
A workman can earn his own keep,
Can earn his own keep
Don’t worry what you have to say,
Don’t worry because on that day
God’s Spirit will speak in your heart
Will speak in your heart
Greater Love and Friendship has no man than this
That he die for others, give his life for all.
No more are you servants; I have called you friends,
All my Father told me, I made known to you
Without you I am nothing, my weakness needs your strength,
So speak, Lord, to your servants, I’m waiting for your word
Go and build my kingdom, pluck up and break down,
Speak what I command you; I shall be with you,
No you did not choose me , I appointed you.
Go bear fruit in plenty, fruit that should abide.
Have you seen my people, have you heard their cry?
Do you know their suffering? Can you let them die?
Break the unjust fetter, set the captive free,
Share bread with the hungry, make the blind to see.
Here I am, Lord, I come to do your will
Make of me what pleases you. Here I am, here I am, Lord.
You spoke my name and beckoned me to come
Before you, now I stand to listen to Your Word
You have the words of everlasting life
If I should turn from you, to whom would I go?
How great it is to stand amid your glory
And let me always stay in your presence, oh, God.
Show me the path that you would have me walk
And give me grace to do what is good in your sight.
I am the Light, Bringing you out of darkness,
So come, take my light to the world.
I am the Bread, you must feed to the hungry,
The wine that must fill every heart.
Foxes have holes, birds have their nests
But the Son of Man has no place to rest.
Come follow me be the light of the nations.
Leave your nets and come follow me.
I am the Life that must change ev’ry life
And the Way that must alter your ways.
I am the Truth and my word is the cross
You must take if you want to be free.
I am the Sower, Come work in my vineyard, my field.
Tend my vines, sow the grain,
And should it fall to the ground
It can only spring up, with new life, hundredfold.
I am the shepherd Come into the sheepfold
To help feed my lambs, feed my sheep.
Bring back the straying, and bind up their wounds,
And rejoice when you’ve found what was lost.
I call you from your brothers, I send you in my name.
I'll light you with my Spirit's fire to burn as my love's flame.
I call you from your sisters and send you in my name.
Tell them what I told to you, my words will be your own.
They'll find me in the news you bring
As you make my secrets known.
Bring me all they have and need, because my Father cares.
Bring back his blessing and his peace
And the food of life he shares.
Be a shepherd to my flock and love as I have done.
So they can see what brother/sister means
And can feel that they are one.
I give my hands to do your work
And Jesus Lord I give them willingly
I give my feet to go your way
And every step I shall take carefully
O the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
O the joy of the Lord is my help my help
For the power of His Spirit is in my heart
And the joy of the Lord is my strength
I give my eyes, to see the world
And every one in just the way you do
I give my tongue to speak your words
To spread your name and freedom giving, truth
I give my mind in every way
So each though I have will come from you
I give my spirit to your O Lord
And every day my prayer will sing anew
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.
Tho' none go with me, I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me I still will follow,
Tho' none go with me, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.
My cross I'll carry, till I see Jesus;
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus,
My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus;
No turning back, No turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me,
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.
If you wish to be my disciple,
Take up your cross and follow me.
The Foxes have their holes, the birds their nest,
But I have not a place to take my rest.
Chorus.
Whoever loves his life, will only lose it,
It’s only sacrifice that brings one gain.
Chorus.
All you who labour, come you who are burdened,
Take up my yoke as well and you’ll find rest.
Chorus.
The one who holds the plough and looks behind,
My Kingdom cannot serve, my peace won’t find.
Chorus.
A Servant surely is less than his master,
If they have hated me, they will hate you.
Chorus.
Take nothing for your pay, no bread, no money,
Your treasure must be one no moth destroys.
Chorus. .
So let your lions be girt, your lamps aburning,
And be like those who wait for my return.
Chorus.
You who have followed me, when life is ended,
Will reap a hundredfold eternally.
Chorus.
It takes courage to answer a call
It takes courage to give your all
It takes courage to risk your name
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to dare
What no other will share,
To be standing alone
One whom no one will own.
To be ready to stake
for another man's sake
It takes courage to be true
It takes courage to say
What you know will not pay
to give each one his share
Through there'll be less to spare
To be speaking no more
Than the neighbour next door,
It takes courage to be true.
It takes courage to leave
What good fortune can give,
And to go to a land
where the poor need a hand
To be spending one's days
In less leisurely ways
It takes courage to be true.
Just to fix our eyes on Jesus
Who has fought the good fight to the end;
And to be the grain that’s fallen
To the ground to die and rise again.
This is my sacrifice, an open ear I bring
Here, Lord, I come to do your will,
Here, Lord, I come to do your will.
Just to follow in his footsteps
And to live according to his ways.
Oh! to be the salt to savour;
And the light in darkness all my days.
Just to be like Christ, the sower,
Planting seed that bears a hundredfold,
Oh! to be the Word Incarnate,
Letting life speak out with words untold.
Just to be the bread unleavened,
Breathing out sincerity and truth,
And to be the cup of blessing,
Praising God upon a ten-string lute.
Chorus:
Leave your country and your people,
Leave your family and your friends.
Travel to the land he'll show you;
God will bless the one he sends.
Go like Abraham before you,
When he heard the Father's call,
Walking forth in faith and trusting;
God is master of us all.
Sometimes God's word is demanding,
Leave the security you know,
Breaking ties and bonds that hold you,
When the voice of God says, Go.
Take the path into the desert,
Barren seems the rock and sand.
God will lead you through the desert,
When you follow his command.
Go with courage up the mountain,
Climb the narrow, rocky ledge,
Leave behind all things that hinder,
God with only God as pledge.
Let the Lord have His way,
In your life every day,
There's no rest, there's no peace,
Until the Lord has His way.
Place your life in His Hand,
Rest secure in His plan.
Let the Lord,
Let the Lord have His way!
Let the Lord take control,
Give your heart, give your soul.
Trust His Word, God knows best,
He'll see you through every test.
In the storm, in His will--
Hear His voice, "Peace be still."
Let the Lord,
Let the Lord take control!
Let the Lord be seen in you,
Every day in all you do;
In your words, in your smile--
Is He there all the while?
Let His love flow right through,
Touching friend and neighbour too.
Let the Lord,
Let the Lord shine through you!
Lord make me like You
Please, make me like You
You are a servant, make me one too.
O Lord won’t You give me Your strength everyday
To build a community, to follow Your way.
Whoever among you desires to be great,
Must be the servant of all.
For even the Son of Man came to serve
And give His life for the world.
You call me your master and Lord so I am
See, I have washed your feet
To set and example for all of you
Of service and of love.
The Spirit anoints me and calls me by name
To bring good news to the poor,
Release to the captives and sight to the blind,
To set the prisoners free.
