We Remember

Here, a million wounded souls are yearning just to touch you and be healed;
Gather all your people, and hold them to your heart.
We remember how you loved us to your death, and still we celebrate, for you are with us here;
And we believe that we will see you when you come, in your glory, Lord, we remember, we celebrate, we believe.
Now we recreate your love we bring the bread and wine to share a meal;
Sign of grace and mercy, the presence of the Lord.
We remember how you loved us to your death, and still we celebrate, for you are with us here;
And we believe that we will see you when you come, in your glory, Lord, we remember, we celebrate, we believe.
Christ, the Father’s great “Amen” to all the hopes and dreams of every heart;

We remember how you loved us to your death, and still we celebrate, for you are with us here;
And we believe that we will see you when you come, in your glory, Lord, we remember, we celebrate, we believe.
See the face of Christ revealed in ev’ry person standing by your side;
Gift to one another, and temples of your love.

May brooks and trees and singing hills Join in the chorus too. And every gentle wind that blows Send happiness to you.
Please don’t say that I gave up, say that I gave in. Don’t say I lost the battle, For it was God’s battle to lose or win. Please don’t say how good I was, but that I did my best. Just say I tried to do what’s right, to give the most I could not […]
