In wine we offer you our spirits’ grief
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbor?
But stand united now, one in belief.
Oh we have gladly heard your word, your holy
word
And now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring
Our selfish hearts make true,
Our failing faith renew
Our lives belong to you, our Lord and King.

The bread we offer you is blessed and broken

And it becomes for us our spirits fold
Over the cup we bring, your word is spoken
Make it gifts to us, your healing blood
Take all that daily toil
Plants in our heart’s poor soil
Take all we start and spoil each hopeful dream
The chances that we have missed
The graces we resist, Lord
In thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

A home up above where everyday is lived in love
For rest when the journey is done.

#252 MERCY SEED

(Elizabeth Drouin)

Back in Dublin’s fair city, many long years ago,

A little seed was planted and it began to grow,
And the sower’s name was Catherine,
And deep love was in her heart,
For here in this fine land,
The dream of Mercy she did start.

Well, she had a fine fortune,

But instead gave to those in need,
For mercy was her mission
And mercy was the seed.
And like a tree that grows so tall
Her vision came to be,
In caring for the needs of all
With deep integrity.

Her labors they were many,

But she took them all in stride,
With her faithful devotion
She kept God by her side.
And then other women followed
And from her vision they took heed,
For they saw the gift of Mercy,
For Mercy was the seed.

Words of the Gospels and the lessons on the

pages.
Help to tend that seedling
To flourish throughout the ages.
In poverty and sickness

163
 Catherine met them face to face
Within herself and all the people
That her mission did embrace.

And now the seed that Catherine sowed has

thrived throughout the years
It grows within our works, our courage and our
fears
Though once a seed her dreams now stands
As a tree its branches are the symbol that we
are all a family
And though the mighty winds will pass
Our tree can never fall
For we all are rooted deeply
In the echo of Catherine’s call
So remember from that seedling
You’re a branch on this great tree
//And our spirit, it has blossomed into global
unity.//

#253 MIGHTY LORD

He is love and Lord of us all.//

2. And let the heavens praise Him in the sun and

moon
Let stars give thanks to Him at night and noon
Praise Him all the earth, the mountains, hills,
and the trees

164
 He is mighty Lord. (Ref)

3. O serve the Lord with gladness serve the Lord

with songs
And know He made us, He has loved as long
He is steady love and He alone is our God
He is mighty Lord. (Ref)

ways
To love your light to know your brightness stays
Help us help each other with the love that you

#254 MOLLY MALONE

1. Oh, in Dublin’s fair city where the girls are so

pretty
I first set eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheel barrow through the
streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and muscles alive, alive oh!

Refrain:
Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!
Crying cockles and muscles alive, alive oh!

wonder
For her Father and Mother were fishmongers too
And each wheeled their wheel barrow through
the streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and muscles alive, alive oh! (Ref)

3. Now she died of the fever and no one could save

her

But her ghost wheels her barrow through the
streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and muscles alive, alive oh! (Ref)

#255 MOMENTS

1. Too many years in silence seen but never heard

A language formed to keep us on the fringe
without a word
Listen to the silence hear your sisters’ cry
As each one tells her story the others learn to
fly.

Refrain:
Remember who you are and sing your song
Let your no reecho making every woman strong
Speak your truth and bring your sisters home.

2. A word demanding answers keeps happening in

my mind
Trouble-making questions seek truth so hard to
find
And in the new awareness of the way the things
have been
Comes an anger or oppression that can still
remain unseen. (Ref)

3. The dawning of a new day means dying to the

old
To images and patterns that can never make me
whole
Take time to curse the darkness mourn each
others pain
And in the power of grieving resolve to live
again. (Ref)

166
4. Hands no longer holding dreams of yesterday
Are free to hold another’s and to show a
different way
Power once unknown at the bottom of the pile
In the bonding of a circle will reform the single
file. (Ref)

Is not beyond your strength, beyond your reach
No need to fly the sky or cross the sea
My word is near to you already in your mouth
Within your heart for you to live..

We know He’s risen and He live among us still
Our story too can set us free.
