Offertory Hymn 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman Refrain: Bless the Lord oh my soul Oh my soul Worship His Holy name Sing like never before Oh my soul I’ll worship Your Holy name The sun comes up It’s a new day dawning It’s time to sing Your song again Whatever may pass And whatever lies before me Let me be singing When the evening comes Refrain You’re rich in love And You’re slow to anger Your name is great And Your heart is kind For all Your goodness I will keep on singing Ten thousand reasons For my heart to find Refrain

And on that day When my strength is failing The end draws near And my time has come Still my soul will Sing Your praise unending Ten thousand years And then forevermore Forevermore Refrain X2 Sing like never before Oh my soul I’ll worship your holy name

Eucharistic Hymns Who Am I by Casting Crowns Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth Would care to know my name, Would care to feel my hurt?

Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart?

Refrain: Not because of who I am But because of what You've done.

Not because of what I've done But because of who You are.

I am a flower quickly fading, Here today and gone tomorrow.

A wave tossed in the ocean.

A vapor in the wind.

Still You hear me when I'm calling.

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling.

And You've told me who I am.

I am Yours, I am Yours.

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin Would look on me with love and watch me rise again?

Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea Would call out through the rain And calm the storm in me?

Refrain X2 Whom shall I fear?

Whom shall I fear?

'Cause I am Yours, I am Yours.

I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe I can only imagine what it will be like When I walk by your side I can only imagine what my eyes will see When your face is before me I can only imagine, yeah Refrain: Surrounded by your glory What will my heart feel Will I dance for you, Jesus Or in awe of you be still Will I stand in your presence Or to my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah Will I be able to speak at all I can only imagine I can only imagine when that day comes And I find myself standing in the Son I can only imagine when all I will do Is forever, forever worship you I can only imagine, yeah I can only imagine Refrain X2 I can only imagine Yeah I can only imagine I can only imagine I can only imagine I can only imagine When all I will do Is forever, forever worship you I can only imagine

All your ways are good All your ways are sure I will trust in you alone Higher than my sight High above my life I will trust in you alone Refrain Where you go, I’ll go Where you stay, I’ll stay When you move, I’ll move I will follow you Who you love, I’ll love How you serve I’ll serve If this life I lose, I will follow you, yeah I will follow you, yeah Light unto the world Light unto my life I will live for you alone You’re the one I seek Knowing I will find All I need in you alone, in you alone Refrain In you there’s life everlasting In you there’s freedom for my soul In you there’s joy, unending joy And I will follow
