CANTICLE OF THE SUN
Marty Haugen
The heavens are telling the glory of God,
and all creation is shouting for joy.
Come, dance in the forest,
come, play in the field,
and sing, sing to the glory of the Lord.
1.
Praise for the sun, the bringer of day,
He carries the light of the Lord in his rays;
The moon and the stars who light up the way
Unto your throne.
2.
Praise for the wind that blows through the trees,
The seas mighty storms, the gentlest breeze;
They blow where they will, they blow where they
please
To please the Lord.
3.
Praise for the rain that waters our fields,
And blesses our crops so all the earth yields;
From death unto life her myst'ry revealed
Springs forth in joy.
4.
Praise for the fire who gives us his light,
The warmth of the sun to brighten our night;
He dances with joy, his spirit so bright,
He sings of you.
5.
Praise for the earth who makes life to grow,
The creatures you made to let your life show;
The flowers and trees that help us to know
The heart of love.
6.
Praise for our death that makes our life real,
The knowledge of loss that helps us to feel;
The gift of yourself, your presence revealed
To lead us home.
TAKE MY LIFE MY LORD
Take my life, my Lord; take my suff’rings, O my
Lord,
Take my joys, take my tears, take my love,
Take my mem’ry Lord; take my understanding
Lord,
Take my mind, take my freedom, take my will.
Take my talents, Lord; take my weaknesses, O
Lord,
Take my secrets, take my sorrows, take my sins,
Take me, all that I am, and make me empty of
desire,
For your love and grace are everything I need.
Yours is my life, I abandon all I am to you, my God,
Yours are my hands; Oh, yours are my feet,
My heart and soul are yours, my Lord and God.
Take this bread, my Lord; take this wine I offer
you,
Take my labours, though imperfect, they are
yours,
Take my sins, my Lord; make me empty of desire
For your love and grace are everything I need.
Yours is my life, I abandon all I am to you, my God,
Yours are my hands; Oh, yours are my feet,
My heart and soul are yours, my Lord and God.
Take my wake, my sleep; take my every breath I
breathe,
Govern all that I am, my Lord and God,
Take my birth, my life; I want nothing from you,
Lord,
For your love and grace are everything I need
Everything I need… (repeat to fade)
GIVE TO THE LORD
Ron Kenoly

Give and it will and it

Will come back to you
Good measure pressed down
Shaken together and running over
Give and it will and it will
Come back to you
When you give, give to the Lord

[Verse]
Give in love, give in faith
Give the joy and the smile on your face
Give as the Lord has given to you
How you give is a reflection of your gratitude

(Chorus)

From your heart, give your best

Give unto God and you will be blessed
Don't be stingy and don't be tight
Learn from the widow in the Bible
Who gave her last dime
