HERE I AM, LORD
Based on Isaiah 6 Dan Schutte
1. I the Lord of sea and sky,

I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send?

I will go, Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.

RECESSIONAL SONG
MY HEART’S THANKSGIVING
Based on Psalm 8 Arnel Aquino, SJ
REF: As I sing my heart’s thanksgiving, and my eyes
look heavenward,
How the stars You flung like jewels, bid Your
welcome, shine Your light.
As I marvel at Your moonrise, I’m in awe, yet I ask,
“What am I that You should love me,
and hold me as Your dearest love of all?”
1. You crown me with honor and glory, and You set
all things under my feet.
You have made me a little less than angels, even if I
fly often away. (REF)
