Song Sheet Lyrics not found on this sheet can be found in the Psalter Hymnal. Gather Us In Here in this place new light is streaming, now is the darkness vanished away; see in this space our fears and our dreamings brought here to you in the light of this day. Gather us in, the lost and forsaken, gather us in, the blind and the lame; call to us now, and we shall awaken, we shall arise at the sound of our name. We are the young, our lives are a mystery, we are the old who yearn for your face; we have been sung throughout all of history, called to be light to the whole human race. Gather us in, the rich and the haughty, gather us in, the proud and the strong; give us a heart, so meek and so lowly, give us the courage to enter the song. Not in the dark of buildings confining, not in some heave, light years away-- here in this place the new light is shining, now is the kingdom, and now is the day. Gather us in and hold us forever, gather us in and make us your own; gather us in, all peoples together, fire-- of love in our flesh and our bone.

In your world, Lord, be glorified, be glorified; in your world, Lord, be glorified today This is my daily bread This is my daily bread Your very word spoken to me And I I'm desperate for you And I I'm I'm lost without you This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your holy presence living in me This is my daily bread this is my daily bread your very word spoken to me And I'm, I'm desperate for you And I'm, I'm lost without you And I'm desperate for you And I'm, I'm lost without you
