This love of your so quickly disappears

When will you share your bread with the hungry?

When will you welcome in the homeless poor

I do not take delight in burnt offering

Give me yourself, your crushed and broken heart

And I will plant my law dep within you

Deep in your heart I will inscribe my nme

I love you with a love everlasting

I hold you constantly close to my heart

Recessional

Walk with me Oh My God

D
Walk with me, oh my Lord,
                                                                A7
Through the darkest night and brightest day
G              A7
Be at my side, oh Lord,
                                                          D
Hold my hand and guide me on my way.

D                       Bm
Sometimes the road seems long,
D                    Bm
My energy is spent.
D                    Bm
Then, Lord, I think of you
A7                        G
And I am given strength

Walk with me, oh my Lord,
Through the darkest night and brightest day
Be at my side, oh Lord,
Hold my hand and guide me on my way.

Stones often bar my path,
And there are times I fall,
But you are always there
To help me when I call.

Walk with me, oh my Lord,
Through the darkest night and brightest day
Be at my side, oh Lord,
Hold my hand and guide me on my way.

Just as you calmed the wind
And walked upon the sea
Conquer, my living Lord
The storms that threaten me.

Walk with me, oh my Lord,
Through the darkest night and brightest day
Be at my side, oh Lord,
Hold my hand and guide me on my way.

Help me to pierce the mists
That cloud my heart and mind,
So that I shall not fear
The steepest mountain-side.

As once you healed the lame
And gave sight to the blind
Help me when I'm downcast
To hold my head up high.

Walk with me, oh my Lord
Through the darkest night and brightest day
Be at my side, oh Lord
Hold my hand and guide me on my way.
