Erwin Cabucos also sent this useful recessional song with a text that puts us in the right mind to enter the world as the Body of Christ.
There are three verses including a key change and a verse of “la la’s” – as I mentioned yesterday he fears them not.
The sheet music is available from sheetmusicdirect.
My backing is nothing like Erwin’s but you can sing along to learn it nonetheless.
We are sent forth to live a life in the footsteps of Christ
To be eyes that see the plight of the marginalised
To be hands that lift those who are broken and lost
To be hearts that accept those who are shattered and tossed
We are sent forth!We are sent forth as the Body of Christ nourished by His grace
To be presence of peace in the world that solemnly prays
To be living signs of hope for our Earth needing repair
To be minds with the light of Christ that banishes fear
We are sent forth!We go out from mass to live our mission in life
To live the gifts of the spirit in us that inspire
To live the Word of the Lord so He can be heard
To let the face of Christ shine in the world
We are sent forth!La la la …
We are sent forth!
