“Come Risen Lord”
© Roy Tuff
Lord we come to you on our knees we bow
We bring before you all our cares that bring us down
Your body broken our burdens freed
You are the potter we are the clay
CHORUS:
And we sing come risen Lord and grant us grace along our way
That we can heal the wounds that pride has brought our way
Yes we sing come risen Lord and give us strength to heed your call
To share the love that’s big enough to cover all
We have no merits to call our own
All we are given we owe to you
Send us forgiveness, send us your love
That through our weakness we can learn to grow
(CHORUS)
Eternal Father you give us life
Pour out your blessings amidst our strife
We have your promise for our whole life
Nothing can take us from eternal life
(CHORUS)
Holy People, Holy Ground: Holy Trinity

1st Verse:
Here we are together, all gathered in this place
Celebrating one another, and the blessings of God’s grace
We believe the things of heaven, amidst our earthly life
We become the bread and body, the work of God in Christ
CHORUS:
And we are a holy people, and we’re on holy ground
Yes, we are a holy people, and we’re on Holy Ground.
2nd Verse:
The illusion of the ages, is that we have to fight
To compete with one another, for privilege and for right
We’re all a changing presence, connected all our life
To the source of all creation, for our eternal life
3rd Verse:
We’re the fabric of creation, we weave the web of life
We are one and we are many, both human and divine
If you can find a higher calling, I beg you, spell it out
‘Cause I can reach no higher, than loving all of life
Peace I leave with you
© Roy Tuff
Peace I leave with you
My own peace I give to you
Not as the world can give to you
I give you another way
Our hearts will burn with love
With Christ along our way
The bread is broke our Lord is raised
He lives in you and me
Our hope will turn to joy
As Christ is all around
Above, within, below abounds
How love reveals the way
And so this rhythm of life
Becomes who we truly are
We seek and serve the best in all
God gives in work and play
