We gather round in this holy spaceHoly Space, filled with graceWe gather round in this holy spaceTo do what Jesus taught us

Here we go round the mulberry bush

We hear the stories of our KingEternal life, for us he’ll winWe share his meal and pray with himAnd do what Jesus taught us.

In the name of the +Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit

Amen!

The Lord be with youAnd also with you.

Sorry

Just like lost sheep we have gone astrayDone bad things and run awaySo we come to say sorryMake things better as you seeLoving Jesus make anewOur lives so we can be like you.

Ba Ba black sheep

You are forgiven

You're forgiven and you know it, so clap your hands

You're forgiven and you know, so you really ought to show it,You're forgiven and you know it, so clap your hands

If you’re happy…

Jesus loves you and you know it, so stamp your feet

Jesus loves you and you know it, so you really ought to show itJesus loves you and you know it, so stamp your feet

If you believe that God forgives you, say “We do” “We do”

When you say that you are sorry, you no longer have to worryGod takes away your sin, so say “Amen”. Amen!

Let us pray…

Listen…

Here we areOne in ChristGathered hereAin’t this nice?So let us share a sign of peaceA kiss or hug before the feast…

The peace of the Lord be always with youAnd also with you

Let us offer one another a sign of God’s peace
