Come and see the joy we have;
Come and sing along.

As we raise our song.

Most Holy One, most lowly one:
Loving Virgin Maria.

Ora, pro nobis!

Grace surpassing all measure:
Ora pro nobis!

Come To The Water

Words and music by Marsha J. Stevens

1
You said you’d come
And share all my sorrows.
You said you’ll be there
For all my tomorrows.
I came so close to sending you away.
But just like you promised
You came here to stay,
I just had to pray.

2
Your voice tells me:
“Come to the water, stand by my side;
I know you are thirsty, you won’t be denied.
I felt every teardrop when in darkness you’ve cried.
And I long to remind you for those tears I’ve died.”

Change This Cold, Cold World

Author Unknown

1
All the old religion has burned out in me,
All the wide-eyed wonder of my youth.
God, relight the light that was put out in me,
Give me back some joy and hope and truth.

Refrain:
If there a Holy Spirit,
If there is a heavenly dove
I would like to see and hear it.
Change this cold, cold world with love.

2
Take away the doubts that toss and turn in me.
Give me answers I can use right now.
Let the brilliant flame of passion burn in me.
God, descend on troubled me somehow.

Refrain:
If there a Holy Spirit,
If there is a heavenly dove
I would like to see and hear it.
Change this cold, cold world with love.

Chance To Live

Author Unknown

1
The leaves are gold, the trees are bare,
The wind has blown in rage;
The sky is dark, the clouds are gray
And all the heavens seem to say:
Men’s life last but a short while
They shouldn’t wait no more;
There’s much to do outside of you
In this world.

2
You’re not alone just look around you
You have your brothers who need your love.
Why waste your love?
Why waste your life?
Why don’t you give yourself a chance to live

Coda:
You could be happy with heaven on earth
Why don’t you give yourself a chance to live.
