Communion Songs L-Z

Lead Me Lord
1. Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain
That life may bring
There’s no other hope that I can lean upon
Lead me Lord, lead me all my life
2. Walk by me, walk by me across
The lonely road of every day
Take my arms and let Your hand
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside Your heart
All my days, all my life
Ref. You are my light
You’re the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord, I need You there
You are my life, I cannot live alone
Let me stay by Your guiding love
All through my life.. Lead me Lord
3. Lead me Lord, even though at times
I’d rather go along my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road
Lead me Lord and never leave my side
All my days, all my life

Lift Up Your Hands
1. Life, is not at all that bad my friend
If you believe in yourself,
If you believe there’s someone
Who walks through life with you
You’ll never be alone
Just learn to reach out
And open your heart
Lift up your hands to God
And he’ll show you the way
Ref. And He said,
“Cast your burdens upon Me,
Those who are heavily laden
Come to me all of you who are tired
Of carrying heavy loads
For the yolk I will give you is easy
And the burden is light
Come to me, and I will give you rest. “
2. When it seems the world
Is tumbling down on you
And you have no one
That you can hold on to
Just face the rising sun
And you’ll see hope
And there’s no need to run
Lift up your hands to God
And He’ll make you feel alright. (Ref.)

Love Is The Answer
1. Morning comes and I must go
Day is breaking yonder
After all the places I have been
Now I’m going home
I have been to seek the sky
To travel on the highway
And the time has come, I don’t know why
I am going home
Ref1. Where is the answer
To so many questions
I don’t know, so I begin another journey
Where is the meaning to my world?
I see the answer now
2. Though we came by different roads
Now we walk together
Stay beside me all my days
Strangers never more
Through the cool of summer rains
By the hearthside fire
I’ll be with you when nothing remains
I am home to stay
Ref2. For love is the answer
To so many questions, now I know
And I can stop my endless wand’ring
Love gives meaning to my world
I see the answer now

Pastorale
1. I am your reed,
Sweet Shepherd, glad to be
Now if you will, breathe out your joy in me
And make bright songs or fill me
With the soft moan of your love
When your delight has failed
To call or move your flock from wrong
2. Make children songs or any song to fill
Your reed with breath of life but at your will
Lay down the flute and take repose
While music infinite is silence in our heart
And laid on it your reed is mute
3. I am your reed,
Sweet Shepherd, glad to be
Lay down the flute and take repose
While music infinite is silence in our heart
And laid on it your reed is mute

Peace
1. Peace I give to you
My peace I leave with you
The world cannot give
The world cannot see
The world does not know My love
Ref: Love, love is all my friends
Love will make you free
Walk the roads that I have walked
And you will walk with me
2. Peace I give to you
My peace I leave with you
The cup that you drink
Will flow in your lives
And you’ll drink the wine of love
3. Peace I give to you
My peace I leave with you
The bread that you eat
The lives that you lead
Are fruits of the love we have

Prayer Of St. Francis
1. Make me a channel of Your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring You love
Where there is injury, Your pardon Lord
And when there’s doubt, true faith in You
2. Make me a channel of Your peace
Where there’s despair in life,
Let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
Where there’s sadness, ever joy
Ref. O 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
3. Make me a channel of Your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we received
And in dying that we’re born to eternal life

Refiner’s Fire
1. Purify my heart
Let me be as gold
And precious silver
Purify my heart

I choose to be holy
Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will

Cleanse me from within,
And make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within,
Deep within (Ref.)

Power Of Your Love

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercy never comes to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord
Great is Thy faithfulness

You Are My Hiding Place
You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
Let the weak say
“I am strong, in the strength of my Lord.”

You Are Near
Ref. Yahweh, I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the foe
And You lead me in ways everlasting

And you know when I sit
And when I stand
Your hand is upon me,
Protecting me from death
Keeping me from harm (Ref.)

You are there
If I fly to the sunrise
Or sail beyond the sea
Still I’d find you there (Ref.)

You who formed me before I was born
In the secret of darkness
Before I saw the sun
In my mother’s womb (Ref.)

How profound
Are Your thoughts, my Lord
Even if I could count them
They number as the stars
You would still be there (Ref.)

Your Heart Today

Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill
Ref. Lord, grant me courage
Lord, grant me strength
Grant me compassion
That I may be Your heart today
2. Where there is hate I can comfort
Where there are yokes I can release
Where there are captives, I can free
And anger I can appease (Ref.)
Bridge. When comes the day I dread
To see our broken world
Compel me from my cell grown cold
That Your people I may behold (V1.)
Coda: And when I’ve done all that I could
Yet there are hearts I cannot move
Lord, give me hope
That I may be Your heart today
