Hearts On Fire

Words & music: Michael Mangan

1 We come from Ancient Dreamtime,

From the bush or by the sea,

We come from a thousand city streets.

We are the rich & lowly,

We are the poor and strong

We come to share this moment,

Gathering here, singing one song.

With our hearts on fire with the love of Jesus,

Hearts on fire, let’s spread the Word.

Hearts on fire, feel the Spirit blazing.

Hearts on fire,

Called to live the Good News in this land,

Setting hearts on fire, with our hearts on fire,

Setting hearts on fire.

2 We long to live in freedom, we yearn for unity.

We dream of justice, joy and peace.

Spirit, fill us with your power.

Jesus, help us live your call.

O Creator, give us wisdom,

So we will be Good News for all.

3 We are the voice of Jesus,

we are his heart & hands,

We are his body in our land.

Stand up, live the story,

To all the world proclaim,

Go out to all creation,

Lighting the fire, fanning the flames.

Moving On, Reaching Out

Words & music: Michael Mangan

1 The time has come to say good-bye,

How the years have slipped away.

It seems like only yesterday

That we started on our journey in this place.

Sharing laughter, love and tears

In good times and in bad.

We just can’t help but feel a little sad.

We’re moving on, reaching out,

We’re gonna fly up to the stars.

The time has come to make a bold new start.

We’re moving on, reaching out,

Setting sail for new horizons.

But wherever we go, we’ll always hold

These memories deep in our hearts.

2 We thank our God for such great gifts,

All the treasures in our hearts.

We’ve heard Good News of Jesus Christ

To lead us on the way and light the path.

We’ve been guided to this moment,

Together you and me.

We thank all you who helped us on our journey.

Br As the seasons roll by

And we’re scaling new heights,

You know that we’ll treasure these times. As we’re soaring new skies,

We’ll know deep inside

This is where we learned how to fly.

Make A Little Difference

Words & music: Michael Mangan

1 We don’t have to move mighty mountains.

We don’t have to swim stormy seas.

We don’t have to change the world overnight.

We don’t have to do famous deeds.

Wherever we are, whoever we meet,

In everything we do and say,

If we get in the groove and let the Spirit move,

We can make a little difference every day.

2 It takes a million years to make one diamond.

It needs a billion grains of sand to make a beach.

It takes a thousand years for a forest to grow.

We just have to plant the tiny seeds.

3 Just a single step begins each journey.

A race that’s never started can’t be won.

Every drop of rain helps the mighty river flow.

We can live the power of one.

Br Just a helping hand or a friendly smile,

Doing what we know is right.

Standing strong against the tide,

These little things can change somebody’s life.

Holy Spirit of Fire

Words & music: Michael Mangan

1. Holy Spirit of Fire,

Open up our hearts, set us ablaze.

Holy Spirit of Fire,

Help us know the mystery of God’s ways.

Keep us blazing, keep us burning.

Open up our hearts

To fan your flames of love,

Holy Spirit of Fire.

2. Holy Spirit of Fire,

Fill us with a passion for Your life.

Holy Spirit of Fire,

Help us show the world your shining light.

3. Holy Spirit of Fire,

Fan the flame of courage in our hearts.

Holy Spirit of Fire,

Help us live the Good News where we are.

4. Holy Spirit of Fire,

Breathe your fire of love into our lives.

Holy Spirit of Fire,

Keep the embers glowing through the night.

Jesus Is The Light

Words & music: Michael Mangan

1 We don’t want to walk in darkness,

We don’t want to live in pain.

We know one who lights the darkness,

Jesus is his name.

He is the Light, the Light of Life.

If we follow him

We’ll always share in God’s own life.

He is the Light, the Light of Life.

He lights our way each and every day.

Jesus is the Light. Jesus is the Light.

2 We need help to make our journey,

Someone strong to lead the way.

We know one to guide our journey,

Jesus is his name.

3 We need strength when we are weary,

To calm the storms and ease the pain.

We know one who has the power,

Jesus is his name.

4 We need peace when we are troubled,

To lift the load and break the chains.

We know one who gives us freedom,

Jesus is his name.

St Teresa’s Prayer

Words & music: Michael Mangan

Christ has no body now but mine,

No hands, no feet on earth but mine.

Christ has no body now but mine.

Let me be Christ, let me shine.

1 Mine are the eyes with which he looks,

Looks with love upon this world.

Mine are the feet with which he walks,

Walks to do good in this world.

2 Mine are the hands with which he works,

Works for peace here in this world.

Mine is the voice with which he speaks,

Speaks his message to this world.

3 Mine is the face with which he smiles,

Smiles a welcome to this world.

Mine is the heart with which he loves,

Loves all people in this world.

I Am the Way

Words & music: Michael Mangan

I am the Way. I am the Truth.

If you want to know God,

Come with me, I am the Life.

I am the Way. I am the Truth.

I am the Way, I am the Truth,

I am the Life.

1 Do not let your hearts be troubled.

Trust in God and trust in me.

I have prepared a place for you,

A place where you can always live with me.

2 I am one in God and God is in me.

All who believe can do great things.

Come to know God by knowing me,

For I’m in God and God is here in me.

3 I will not leave you orphans.

I will come back to you.

Even if the world cannot see me,

You will live in me and I in you.

Jesus Our Saviour

Words & music: Michael Mangan

1 When the day is long

And the night is dark and dreary.

When we’re feeling lost and alone.

When our dreams lie shattered

And sorrow fills our hearts,

Hold us close, carry us back home.

Jesus Our Saviour,

Help us to see your face.

Show us your guiding light.

You will show the way.

2 When the storm clouds gather

And we just can’t see the sun.

When are hearts are broken and in pain.

When we feel abandoned
