1. LOVING AND FORGIVING (Scott Sopper)
LORD, WE GATHER TODAY (Lester Delgado)
Loving and forgiving are You, O Lord;
slow to anger, rich in kindness,
loving and forgiving are You.
All my being, bless the Lord,
bless the holy name of God
All my being, bless the Lord,
remembering the goodness of God. (R)
God forgives us all our sins,
healing those who live in pain;
Saving us from final death,
God fills us with goodness and love. (R)
Good and gracious is the Lord,
slow to anger, rich in love.
God remembers not our sin,
forgiving and loving is God. ( R)
As heaven soars above the earth,
so great the love of God for us.
As far as east is from the west,
the Lord takes our sins from us. ( R)
2. GLORY AND PRAISE TO OUR GOD (Dan Schutte) So when you call your family Lord,
Glory and praise to our God
Who alone gives light to our days
Many are the blessings He bears
To those who trust in His ways
We the daughters and sons of Him
Who built the valleys and plains
Praise the wonders our God has done
In every heart that sings (R.)
In His wisdom He strengthens us
Like gold that's tested in fire
Though the power of sin prevails
Our God is there to save. (R.)
Every moment of every day
Our God is waiting to save
Always ready to seek the lost
To answer those who pray (R.)
3. LORD, HAVE MERCY (Heritage Mass)
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
4. LENTEN GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (J. Regan)
Glory and praise to You, O Lord Jesus Christ.
We have stilled our hearts and now we listen to Your Word.
5.
Lord, we gather today in Your house,
we kneel down and pray.
We ask for Your mercy as we open our hearts
to receive Your forgiveness, O Lord.
Lord, we lift up to You all these gifts,
we offer for Your glory.
We will eat this living bread;
we will drink this saving cup
and feel Your presence, O Lord.
As we offer this bread and as we bring you this wine,
Bless them, Lord Jesus. Feed us now, give us life.
Send us Your Spirit, the source of our lives,
and together, we will serve You with love
6. GIFTS OF FINEST WHEAT (R. Kreutz)
You satisfy the hungry heart
With gift of finest wheat;
Come give to us, O saving Lord,
The bread of life to eat.
As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
They know and heed his voice;
We follow and rejoice.
With joyful lips we sing to you,
Our praise and gratitude,
That you should count us worthy, Lord,
To share this heavenly food.
Is not the cup we bless and share
The blood of Christ out-poured?
Do not one cup, one loaf, declare
Our oneness in the Lord?
7. OUR FATHER (Light from Light, Manuel Francisco)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us,
deliver us from evil.
(Deliver us…..)
For the kingdom and the power and the glory
are Yours now and forever.
8. LAMB OF GOD (Light from Light, Manuel Francisco)
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have
mercy, have mercy on us. (Repeat)
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Grant us
peace, grant us peace.
9. ANG PANGINOON ANG AKING PASTOL
(Fruto Ramirez, SJ/Danilo Isidro, SJ)
Ang Panginoon ang aking pastol,
Pinagiginhawa akong lubos.
Handog niyang himlaya’y sariwang pastulan
Ang pahingahan ko’y payapang batisan
Hatid sa kaluluwa ay kaginhawahan
Sa tumpak na landas, siya ang patnubay.
Madilim na lambak man ang tatahakin ko
Wala akong sindak, siya’y kasama ko
Ang hawak niyang tungkod, ang siyang gabay ko
Tangan niya’y pamalo, sigla’t tanggulan ko.
10. HOW LOVELY IS YOUR DWELLING PLACE and dreams of every heart; Peace beyond all telling,
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord
mighty God, Lord of all
Even the lowly sparrow finds a home for her brood and temples of your love.
And the swallow a nest for herself
Where she may lay here young
In your altars my king and my God (Ref)
Blessed are they whose dwelling is Your own
Lord of peace. Blest are they refreshed by springs With love that will last through sorrow and pain.
and by rain When dryness daunts and scathes Behold A love that will never die with strain.
my shield My king and my God! (Ref)
I would forsake a thousand other days anywhere
If I could spend one day in Your courts
belong to you alone. My strength are You alone
My glory, my king and my God! (Ref)
How lovely, your dwelling place, O Lord
mighty God, Lord of all
11. TINAPAY NG BUHAY (Manuel Francisco)
Ikaw, Hesus, and tinapay ng buhay
Binasbasan, hinati't inialay
Buhay na ganap ang sa ami'y kaloob
at pagsasalong walang hanggan
Basbasan ang buhay naming handog
Nawa'y matulad sa pag-aalay mo
Buhay na laan nang lubos
sa mundong sa pag-ibig ay kapos
Marapatin sa kapwa maging tinapay
Kagalakan sa nalulumbay, katarungan sa naaapi
at kanlungan ng bayan mong sawi
12. JESUS, REMEMBER ME (Taize)
Jesus, remember me
when You come into Your kingdom.
Jesus, remember me
when You come into Your kingdom.
13. WE REMEMBER (Marty Haugen)
We remember how you loved us to your death,
and still we celebrate, for you are with us here;
And we believe that we will see you when you come,
in your glory, Lord, we remember,
we celebrate, we believe.
Here, a million wounded souls are yearning just to
touch you and be healed; Gather all your people, and
hold them to your heart.
Now we recreate your love we bring the bread and wine
to share a meal; Sign of grace and mercy,
the presence of the Lord.
Christ, the Father's great "Amen" to all the hopes
and freedom from all fear.
See the face of Christ revealed in ev'ry person standing
by your side; Gift to one another,
14. SERVICE (Buddy Cesar)
We are made for service, to care for each other.
We are made to love, each sister and brother.
God sent His Son to show us the way,
One who shared his love ev'ry minute of the day,
One who gave His life that we might live
And His Spirit to help us through the years.
Life can be so lonely when nobody cares,
Life can be so empty when nobody shares,
But if we give ourselves both time and again
The happiness of Christ will live within.
15. PANANAGUTAN (Hontiveros, SJ)
Walang sinuman ang nabubuhay, para sa sarili lamang
Walang sinuman ang namamatay, para sa sarili lamang
Tayong lahat ay may pananagutan sa isa't isaTayong
lahat ay tinipon ng Diyos na kapiling N’ya
Sa ating pagmamahalan at panglilingkod sa kanino man
Tayo ay nagdadala ng balita na kaligtasan.
16. SIMEON’S CANTICLE
Lord, let Your servant go in peace
For Your Word has been fulfilled.
My own eyes have seen Your salvation
Which You have prepared for all men.
A Light shall reveal to the nations
And the glory of Your people, Israel.
Ending: Lord, let Your servant go in peace, oh….
