GATHERING HYMN:

GENTLE AS SILENCE

Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence
of all that I love here on earth.
All the beauty I see he has given to me
and his giving is gentle as silence.

Every day, every hour, every moment
have been blessed by the strength of his love.
At the turn of each tide he is there at my side,
and his touch is as gentle as silence.

There’ve been times when I’ve turned from his presence,
and I’ve walked other paths, other way’s
But I’ve called on his name in the dark of my shame,
and his mercy was gentle as silence.

OFFERTORY HYMN:

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord.
And where there’s doubt, true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness – only light.
And where there’s sadness, ever joy.

Oh Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand.
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
In giving to each one that we receive.
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.
