ENTRANCE SONG: CALL TO MISSION
Mother Marie Louise De Meester
A heart generous and great
Burning with zeal for the Lord
You dared the call to mission
Steeped in faith and hope and love
You shared the gospel with the poor
A trail you blazed for the kingdom
Of truth, of justice and of peace.
The fields are ready for the harvest
But the laborers are few
We pray to the Lord of the harvest
One in God’s mission
The seed planted by our foundress
Will yield its fruit a hundredfold
One mind, one heart, one spirit
As we journey to our God.
Women carriers of a vision
Signs of hope, of strength, of love
Sing your songs of compassion
Sing your songs of life
Blessed are you who stand for justice
Blessed are you the salt, the light
Women with a mission
Bearers of the Father’s dream.

COMMUNION: YOU’RE MY EVERYTHING
You are my way, my truth; my hope belongs to you
My being finds its joy and gladness
You are my light and love; my life belongs to you
My heart, my soul, my all I give you
There is no doubt about the care you have for me
I’ll sing it out and sing it through eternity
In you I hope, in you I have all that I am
In you I have it all; there’s nothing that I ask for more
You offered me relief when I’m beset with grief
You take me by the hand and lead me
You wipe away my tears when I can’t hold my fears
You came and bring me consolation (There is no doubt)
You light for me the way; you brighten up my day
You drive away all gloom and sadness
You hold on to me tight that I may keep the fight
To love you more and all the more each day.
THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH
I was falling, falling on my knees
‘cause I was hardpressed and distressed
I thought I never could live
I was calling, calling on my Lord
‘cause I was falling down the road
So burdened with a load
And deep inside the things I felt,
I pondered on those words
And called out to my mind those mighty words
The Lord is my strength; He is my savior
He is my fortress and my shield, my song
The Lord is my strength; He is my savior
Why should I fear at all?
I was crying, crying out to God
That He may hear me in the times
When things just get off my mind
I was praying, praying to my Lord
That He whisper to my ear
His words that take off my fear (And deep inside)
10,000 REASONS
Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before, O 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 (Ref)
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 (Ref)
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 (Ref)
MAGNIFICAT
All that I am sings of the God who brings new life
to birth in me, My spirit soars on the wings of my Lord
My soul gives glory to the Lord,
rejoicing in my saving God
who looks upon me in my state,
and all the world will call me blessed
For God works marvels in my sight,
and holy, holy is God's name (All that I am)
God's mercy is from age to age,
on those who follow in fear
Whose arm is power and strength,
and scatters all the proud of heart
Who casts the mighty from their thrones
and raises up the lowly ones (All that I am)
God fills the starving with good things,
the rich are left with empty hands
Protecting all the faithful ones,
remembering Israel with mercy
the promise known to those before
and to their children for ever (All that I am)
NADA TE TURBE
Nada te turbe, nada te espante;
quien a Dios tiene, nada le falta.
Nada te turbe, nada te espante:
sólo Dios basta. (3X)
RECESSIONAL: YOU RAISE ME UP
I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
I will celebrate the wonder of Your name
For the word that You speak is a song of forgiveness
And a song of gentle mercy and of peace
Let us wake at the morning and be filled with Your love
And sing songs of praise all our days
For Your love is as high as the heavens above us
And Your faithfulness as certain as the dawn
I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
For You are my refuge and my strength
You fill the world with Your life-giving spirit
That speaks Your word
Your word of mercy and of peace
And I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
Yes I will sing forever of Your love, O Lord
