Lyrics

We come to you Lord Jesus
To say our thanks to you
And in our hearts we give ourselves
And everything we do.

Chorus:
We love you Lord Jesus
Stay with us we pray
Help us to be more like you each day.

We bring the bread, we bring the wine,
We offer them to you,
We bring our work, we bring our play,
And everything we do.

Your love for us, our love for you,
We celebrate today,
Oh, fill our hearts with peace and joy,
Be with us, Lord, we pray.
