Let there be greening, birth from the burning, Water that blesses and air that is sweet, Health in God’s garden, Hope in God’s children, Regeneration that peace will complete. God of all living, God of all loving, God of the seedling, the snow and the sun, Teach us deflect us, Christ re-connect us, Using us gently, and making us one.

LORD’S PRAYER WORDS OF INSTITUTION ALL ARE INVITED TO GOD’S TABLE You will also be invited to be anointed when you come to the table.
10
Will you come and follow me If I but call your name? Will you go where you don’t know And never be the same? Will you let my love be shown, Will you let my name be known, Will you let my life be grown In you and you in me? Words: John L. Bell & Graham Maule, copyright © 1987 Wild Goose Resource Group/ WGRG, Iona Community, Glasgow G2 3DH, Scotland. Melody: 'Kelvingrove', Scots traditional. CCLI license No. 2486767
11
Will you leave yourself behind If I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind And never be the same? Will you risk the hostile stare Should your life attract or scare? Will you let me answer pray’r In you and you in me?
12
Will you let the blinded see If I but call your name? Will you set the pris’ners free And never be the same? Will you kiss the leper clean, And do such as this unseen, And admit to what I mean In you and you in me?
13
Will you love the ‘you’ you hide If I but call your name? Will you quell the fear inside And never be the same? Will you use the faith you’ve found To reshape the world around, Through my sight and touch and sound In you and you in me?
14
Lord, your summons echoes true When you but call my name. Let me turn and follow you And never be the same. In your company I’ll go Where your love and footsteps show. Thus I’ll move and live and grow In you and you in me.

Here in this place new light is streaming, Now is the darkness vanished away, See in this space our fears and our dreamings Brought here to You in the light of this day. Gather us in the lost and forsaken, Gather us in the blind and the lame; Call to us now and we shall awaken, We shall arise at the sound of our name. Copyright © 1982 by Taize/Iona.

We are the young our lives are a mystery, we are the old who yearn for your face. We have been sung throughout all of history, Called to be light to the whole human race. Gather us in the rich and the haughty Gather us in the proud and the strong, Give us a heart so meek and so lowly, Give us the courage to enter the song.
19
Here we will take the wine and the water, Here we will take the bread of new birth, Here you shall call your sons and your daughters, Call us anew to be salt for the earth. Give us to drink the wine of compassion, Give us to eat the bread that is you; Nourish us well and teach us to fashion, lives that are holy and hearts that are true.
20
Not in the dark of buildings confining, Not in some heaven light years away, But here in this place the new light is shining, Now is the Kingdom, now is the day. Gather us in and hold us forever, Gather us in and make us your own; Gather us in all peoples together, fire of love in our flesh and our bones.
