B. OPENING PRAYER (8:30-8:40)

Song: Who Am I (accompanied by guitar)
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth

Would care to know my name,

Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart?
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done.
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean.
A vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling.
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling.
And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours, I am Yours.
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done.
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean.
A vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling.

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling.

And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours.

Prayer: A prayer from St. Anselm

O Lord my God, teach my heart where and how to seek You and where to find
You. Teach me to seek you for I cannot seek you unless you teach me or to find You,
unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you in my desire. Let me desire you in my
seeking. Let me find you by loving you. Let me love you when I find you.

CLOSING PRAYER (4:15-4:25)

Song: Pilgrim's Theme (accompanied by guitar)
Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air
Tired of getting tired of doing what's required
Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things
Through with taking roads someone else designed
Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine
Through with going through one more day - what's new
Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things
Refrain 1:
I think I'll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
I hope to find my place
So my life can fall in place
I know in time I'll find my place
In the greater scheme of things

Each must go his way, but how can I decide

Which path I should take, who will be my guide

I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far
To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things
The road before me bends, I don't know what I'll find
Will I meet a friend or ghosts I left behind
Should I even be surprised that You're with me in disguise
For it's Your hand I have seen in the greater scheme of things

Prayer: Come Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit, and fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of
Your Divine Love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created, and You shall renew
the face of the earth. Oh God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit instructed the hearts of
the faithful, Grant, that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His
consolation. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
