“Imagine / Sing To the Heart!” / “Song For My Father” (5:31)
Imagine ... imagine ....
Imagine in our darkness shines a light with which we see
A hope and promise of a world where we can truly be.
Imagine living in a world where justice will prevail.
And working with compassion in our hearts we cannot fail.Imagine creating a world where people live as one;
Imagine now, my friends, our transformation’s just begun.
[Sing to the center of the universe.]
Sing it out loud and clear, so that everyone can hear.
[Imagine people feeling that they’re no longer apart.]
Sing to the Heart – Sing to the Heart!Baruch ata Adonai,
Eloheinu melech ha’olam;
Halo lechol shirayich ani kinor.
Baruch ata Adonai!
[We praise You, Eternal God,
Sovereign of the universe
Behold, I am a violin for all your songs.]Now sing!
Sing to the center of the universe;
Sing it out loud and clear, so that everyone can hear.
Sing to the Heart – Sing to the Heart!
“Song For My Father”
Today is a day like any other day.
I got up, got dressed, came to church, and here I am with you.
And I’m singing a song because you asked me to.
And this song is a song like any other one.
It starts up, has words and a melody.
And if it speaks to you, then it’s yours for free.But this church is a church unlike any other one.
It accepts me as I am, and as I wish to be.
And it brings all kinds of good and loving friends to me.And my father is a father unlike any other one.
I’ve received much of the best of what I am from him.
And it’s my father, Abraham, for whom sing this hymn.And this day, and this song, and this church are special
Because of him.
“Within the Center Of Your Heart” (2:24)
Within the center of your heart, whispering
Sings the voice of God, whispering.
Within the center of your heart, crying low
Sings the voice of God.
Hear you now; hear you now.
Listen to the voice.
“As We Gather In This Sacred Place” (2:05)
As we gather in this sacred place
Let us remember those who have died
And will die for our sins in numbers beyond counting.As we gather in this sacred place
Let us acknowledge those who yet live
To grant us grace in blessings ever mounting.Let us not forget those whose lives end, as ours begin
In this sacred place. Amen, amen.
“Beatitudes” / “Alleluia” (3:37)
And, seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain.
And when He was set, His disciples came unto Him.
And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying,Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be filled.Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called the children of God.
“Alleluia”
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, praise God!
We are called to be servants of God,
Witnesses to God’s kingdom on earth,
Where peace and justice shall reign,
Where no one shall hunger, or thirst, or want.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, praise God,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, praise God,
Praise God, praise God!
“Eucharist Suite” / “Our Father” (8:28)
In excelsis Deo!

Heaven and earth are full of Your glory.
Sing, “Hosanna,” Sing, “Hosanna, in excelsis Deo!”
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha'olam,
Borei pri hagafen.
[Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, Sovereign of the Universe, creator of the fruit of the vine;]Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha'olam,
Ha motzi lechem min ha'aretz.
[Who brings forth bread from the earth;]Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha'olam,
Asher kidshanu, b’mitzvotav.
[Who has sanctified us with His commandments.]When we partake of the Bread of Life and drink of the Spirit,
In your death we find our life, in your strength, our hope,
In your love, our peace.De profundis we cry, O Lord, to the One who’s risen.
Bring us into God’s pure light; keep us safe in You
‘Til You come again.
Alleluia, alleluia,
Sing the great, “I am”!
We sing the great, “I am”!
Let us sing the great, “Amen”!“Our Father”
We come to Thee, O Lord, in despair and in desolation.
Lead us from iniquity.
Help us to flow’r in the radiance of the light of Thy truth,
As flowers in the garden of our faith.Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heav’n.Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation,
But O Lord, in Thy mercifulness, by Thy grace,
From evil deliver us.
(Oh Lord, be merciful. Grant us deliverance.)
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory
Forever, and ever. Amen.
“Jean” / “In the Quiet Of the Day” / “It Seems To Me” (5:29)
In the quiet of the day, the call of our passion we obey;
Look within in contemplation of God’s grace.
In the quiet of the day, let the light of compassion lead the way;
Look within in contemplation of God’s face ....
In the quiet of the day.
“It Seems To Me”
It seems to me that you and I could change the world together
We could make it better by being truly who we are.
It seems to me, together, we could learn to love a stranger,
Nullify the danger that confronts us near and far.It seems to me, if we could see the wounds that must be healed,
We’d move our hearts to yield the compassion that they bear.
It seem to me the earth could be a garden filled with laughter,
To blossom ever after with a beauty all could share.At night I dream, and in my dream above the hills I’m flying;
Tears of joy I’m crying from the depth of love I feel.
As I descend a hand I lend to one whose fingers fashion
Understanding and compassion, with a touch that surely heals.Yes, in the end I find, my friend, ‘tis you, my sister/brother.
We find in each other strength we need to carry on.
For in your eyes I realize the joy I find in living.
Now, in wonder and thanksgiving I arise to greet the dawn!
Peace and love be with you all;
Grace divine bestow upon you
As you go forth to live and to serve in truth.
“Benediction / Alleluia” / “Ascension” (5:55)
Go forth now in peace, to love and serve all humanity.
O blessed spirit, divine within thee,
In truth be thou, grace without end.
Salaam, shalom. Namaste. Amen.Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, praise God!
We are called to be servants of God,
Witnesses to God’s kingdom on earth,
Where peace and justice shall reign,
Where no one shall hunger, or thirst, or want.Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, praise God,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, praise God,
Praise God, praise God!
“Ascension”
Baruch ata Adonai Eloheinu melech haolam.
Dona nobis pacem.
Asalaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
[May the peace of Allah descend upon you, and His Mercy and Blessings.] (Note: This line in Arabic is the new text. In the original, which you hear, it is simply “Allah Akbar.” (God is great!) I could not re-record at this point, but I wanted the ‘book’ to reflect the intended change of text.] –D.b.A.Dona nobis pacem,!
Grant us grace and abundant peace. Amen.
Shalom, salaam, mir, peace.
