From the Common Worship Communion service
Father of all, we give you thanks and praise,
that when we were still far off you met us in your Son and brought us home.
Dying and living, he declared your love, gave us grace, and opened the gate of glory.
May we who share Christ’s body live his risen life;
we who drink his cup bring life to others;
we whom the Spirit lights give light to the world.
Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us,
so we and all your children shall be free,
and the whole earth live to praise your name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
I will offer up my life
in spirit and truth
Pouring out the oil of love,
as my worship to you
In surrender I must give
my every part
Lord, receive this sacrifice
of a broken heart
Jesus, what can I give,
what can I bring
to so faithful a Friend,
to so loving a King?
Saviour, what can be said?
What can be sung
As a praise of Your name
for the things You have done?
Oh, my words could not tell,
not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
by this thankful heart
You deserve my every breath,
for You’ve paid the great cost
Giving up Your life to death,
even death on the cross
You took all my shame away,
there defeated my sin
Open up the gates of heaven
and have beckoned me in
Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring …..
