Solemnity of Apostles Saints Peter and Paul

In This Place

Verse 1:
We are all hungry people
We need shelter and strength
We are one in our hurting
We are one in our pain
In our suffering and sadness
We are saved by the grace
Of the power and the spirit
That is here in this place
Refrain 1:
We are gathered at table
As one in the Lord
We are gathered as people
Who are living the word
Our hearts and our spirits
Are nurtured by grace
It is Jesus who fills us
He is here in this place
Verse 2:
All our lives are a mystery
We see not where they lead
We are asked now to trust you
And we know we must believe
As our feet become Christ feet
We go forth with the grace
Of the power and the spirit
That is here in this place
Refrain 2:
We are gathered at table
As one in the Lord
We are gathered as people
Who are living the word
Our hearts and our spirits
Are nurtured by grace
It is Jesus who fills us
He is here in this place
Verse 3:
Though the world may tell us
To look at ourselves
We reach out to another
Where suffering dwells
As our hands become Christ’s hands
We are healed by the grace
Of the power and the spirit
That is here in this place
Refrain 3:
We are gathered at table
As one in the Lord
We are gathered as people
Who are living the word
Our hearts and our spirits
Are nurtured by grace
It is Jesus who fills us
He is here in this place

Faith Of Our Fathers

Verse 1:
Faith of our fathers, living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword,
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Refrain 1:
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
Verse 2:
Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
We all shall then be truly free.
Refrain 2:
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
Verse 3:
Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Refrain 3:
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!

Be Not Afraid

Verse 1:
You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way
You shall speak your words to foreign men
And they will understand
You shall see the face of God and live
Refrain 2:
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me and I will give you rest.
Verse 2:
If you pass through raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown
If you walk amid the burning flames
You shall not be harmed
If you stand before the power of hell
And death is at your side
Know that I am with you through it all
Refrain 2:
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me and I will give you rest.
Verse 3:
Blessed are your poor
For the kingdom shall be theirs
Blest are you that weep and mourn
For one day you shall laugh
And if wicked men insult and hate you
All because of me
Blessed, blessed are you
Refrain 3:
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me and I will give you rest.

Go Tell Everyone

Verse 1:
God’s Spirit is in my heart.
He has called me and set me apart.
This is what I have to do, what I have to do.
Refrain 1:
He sent me to give the good news to the poor.
Tell prisoners that they are prisoners no more.
Tell blind people that they can see,
and set the down-trodden free.
And go tell everyone the news that the Kingdom of God has come.
And go tell everyone the news that God’s Kingdom has come.
Verse 2:
Just as the Father sent me,
so I’m sending you out to be.
My witness throughout the world,
the whole of the world.
Refrain 2:
He sent me to give the good news to the poor.
Tell prisoners that they are prisoners no more.
Tell blind people that they can see,
and set the down-trodden free.
And go tell everyone the news that the Kingdom of God has come.
And go tell everyone the news that God’s Kingdom has come.
