Lyrics:
     
Help me be gentle, and help me be true.
Pure Lamb of God, help me be more like you,
living by prayer, meeting evil with good,
letting you lead me to live as I should.
   
Help me be peaceful and fill me with love,
meeting with courage what I’m fearful of,
face with a calm heart all anger and fear,
and like you, Love, hold my enemies dear.
   
Help me be healing and set people free.
Help me to love them as you have loved me,
tenderly bless them, as your human hands,
bringing your justice and peace to all lands.

Bread of Life

A communion song: original lyrics set to the tune of HOLY MANNA.
Free to copy and use. Or you can pay-what-you-like to donate.
Lyrics:
    
Christ, you are the Bread of Life, who gives us strength and nourishes.
Here we feast on love and beauty, here your people flourishes.
In our sharing you are present, in our feast you enter in,
we become your Body, risen: we your servants, we your friends.
  
As you bless the bread and break it, as you give it out to share,
we are broken, blessed, and given, sharing blessing everywhere.
May we be the yeast of justice; may we be the grain of love;
that your children all be fed, that grace and mercy all may have.
