2 Corinthians 9.10
Tune: KREMSER (“We Gather Together to Ask the Lord's Blessing”) Lyrics: O God, you have scattered your gifts and your blessings, the bread that gives life and the seed that grows. Your grace is astounding, the harvest is abounding. You give to the poor, and our cup overflows!
We come to the banquet, as each one is able, rejoicing and voicing our thanks and our praise. While singing we’re bringing our gifts to your table, that we may serve you through all of our days.
As you have enriched us, so may we be giving, and sow as we’ve reaped, in abundance and trust: now gratefully giving through all of our living the grace that you offer; for share it we must.
Our God who has planted and nurtured now harvests, and so we surrender our lives to God’s use. With Christ as our Vine, we are branches in his spirit, all bearing fruit in love, and made one in God’s Peace. May be included with previous verses, or used as a sending song at the end of worship: We go now, confessing our love and our blessing for each, our companions in service and grace. We’ll nourish each other as sister and brother, to serve as God’s Bread for the whole human race. -
All that We Hold in Our Hands
Suggested Price: $3.00All that We Hold in Our HandsAdd to cartOriginal song. Purchase includes digital download of lyrics and music and permission to use. (Listen to a audio clip in the Product Description below.) Lyrics: What do we hold in our hearts? The hopes of a hungering people, longing for you, and for bread, and to truly be free. What can we do, who are small? The power is not ours at all: God, you have hidden such grace here in our hands. What do we hold in our hands? Nothing we have is unworthy. An everyday gift you can use in miraculous ways. All that we hold in our hands you’ll use if we give it to you. Use what we hold in our hands for what you will do. What do we hold in our hands? In it you’ve hidden the wondrous, fishes and loaves you can use to feed thousands with love. All that we hold in our hands we give in the name of your Son: more than we ask or imagine, may your will be done. What do we hold in our hands? Grace is abundant, not lacking. Look now and see what we have and find power and life. All that we hold in our hands, all that we have or can do, all that we are by your grace we give now to you. -
Before My Eyes
Suggested Price: $0.00Before My EyesAdd to cartOriginal lyrics set to the tune of For the Beauty of the Earth. Free to copy and use. Or you can pay-what-you-like to donate. Lyrics: Prophets plainly speak your Word, but are silenced and not heard. Miracles will pass us by, hidden by the jaundiced eye. Spirit, help me realize: you are here before my eyes. Acts of courage, though unseen; in forgiveness hearts washed clean; deeds of love, though they are small: most miraculous of all! Spirit, help me realize: you are here before my eyes. How the outcast choose to live, how the poor in spirit give, how the ones we ostracize give gifts we don’t recognize! Spirit, help me realize: you are here before my eyes. Letting expectations go, humbly knowing I don’t know, blessing what the moment brings, finding grace in humble things: Spirit, help me realize: you are here before my eyes. Help me seek the truth today, set aside what others say, speak your Word and trust your grace— miracles will then take place! Spirit, help me realize: you are here before my eyes. -
