Offertory Hymn

Shepherd of My Soul

Shepherd of my soul
I give you full control,
Wherever You may lead I will follow.
I have made the choice
to listen to Your voice,
Wherever You may lead I will go.Be it in a quiet pasture
or by a gentle stream,
The Shepherd of my soul is by my side.
Should I face a mighty mountain
or a valley dark and deep,
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide.

Hymn for Communion Procession

Behold the Lamb

Verse 1
Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away,
Slain for us: and we remember:
The promise made that all who come in faith
Find forgiveness at the cross.So we share in this Bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice,
As a sign of our bonds of peace
Around the table of the King.Verse 2
The body of our Saviour, Jesus Christ,
Torn for you: eat and remember
The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life,
Paid the price to make us one.So we share in this Bread of Life,
And we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love
Around the table of the King.Verse 3
The blood that cleanses every stain of sin,
Shed for you: drink and remember
He drained death’s cup that all may enter in
To receive the life of God.So we share in this Bread of Life,
And we drink of His sacrifice,
As a sign of our bonds of grace
Around the table of the King.Verse 4
And so with thankfulness and faith
We rise to respond: and to remember
Our call to follow in the steps of Christ
As His body here on earth.As we share in His suffering,
We proclaim: Christ will come again!
And we’ll join in the feast of heaven
Around the table of the King.

Recessional Hymn

Our God Reigns

Verse 1
How lovely on
the mountains are the feet of him
who brings good news, good news,
announcing peace,
proclaiming news of happiness
Our God reigns, our God reigns,Our God reigns, our God reigns
Our God reigns, our God reigns.Verse 2
He had no stately form,
he had no majesty,
that we should be drawn to him.
He was despised
and we took no account of him,
yet now he reigns, with the Most High.Now he reigns, now he reigns,
now he reigns, with the Most High.Verse 3
It was our sin
and guilt that bruised and wounded him
It was our sin that brought him down.
When we like sheep
had gone astray our shepherd came
and on his shoulders bore our shame.On his shoulders, on his shoulders
on his shoulders, he bore our shame.Verse 4
Meek as a lamb
that's led out to the slaughter house
dumb as a sheep before its shearer,
his life ran down
upon the ground like pouring rain,
that we might be born again.That we might be, that we might be,
that we might be, born again.Verse 5
Out from the tomb
he came with grace and majesty;
he is alive, he is alive.
God loves us so,
see here his hands, his feet, his side.
Yes, we know, he is alive.He is alive, he is alive,
he is alive, he is alive.
