                 HERE I AM, LORD
Refrain:  Here I am, Lord.  Is it I, Lord? I have  heard you calling in the night.  I will go, Lord, if you  lead me.  I will hold your people in my heart.
1. I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people’s cry. All who dwell in dark and sin my hand will save.  I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear my light to them?  Whom shall I send?
2.  I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain. I have wept for love of them.  They turn away.  I will break  their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone. I will  speak my word to them.  Whom shall I send?
3.  I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them.  My hand will save.  Finest bread I  will provide till their hearts be satisfied. I will give my life to them.Whom shall I send?
THE JOY OF LOVE
(World Meeting Of Families Anthem)
Lo-ve is patient, and love is kind.
Love is not resentful; it is not rude.
Love is not arrogant, nor boastful, nor jealous, but love rejoices, rejoices in the truth
Refrain The joy of love, a joy for all God’s family,  The joy of love transcending time and space. Our Love for each other mirrors God the Father’s love.  The joy of love: a joy for all the earth.
