This lovely song by Peter Grant, from the As One Voice digital archive, is ideal for the Procession of the Gifts, but is also suggested for use at a wedding. I suspect if there had been further volumes of As One Voice hymn books, Peter would be a justly better known song writer in Australia.
You can purchase the sheet music at As One Voice , where there is also an instrumental snippet. Nonetheless, I made my own BIAB backing.
Refrain
Grain from the fields, grapes from the summer vine;
Kneaded and baked, crushed and matured to wine.
These are the gifts of our love we now bring;
Take them and bless them, oh Lord.
Take them and bless them, oh Lord.
1 The seeds of our lives have been scattered and sown,
With sun and with rain they’ve been blessed.
The harvest is plenty, the bread sweet and warm,
The table prepared for our Guest.
2 The vine of our love has been nurtured and grown,
Through seasons of joy and of pain.
The vintage is gathered, the good wine is poured,
The cup to be shared in His name.

This is another Peter Grant song from the As One Voice digital archive. It is noted there to be suitable for a Second Rite of Reconciliation, but it would work well in Lent. The refrain is for the assembly and the verses may need a cantor. The text is based on Psalm 41:5.
You can purchase the sheet music at As One Voice. There is also a brief instrumental sample to listen to there.
I also made a backing.
Refrain
Lord, heal my soul. for I have sinned against you.
Lord, heal my soul, for I have sinned.
1 Those who ask, receive God’s loving mercy,
Though they fall from grace and sin again.
As for me, I cry “have mercy on me;
Heal my soul for I have caused you pain.”
2 Never fear to call upon his mercy.
Ask for healing, seek God’s tenderness.
As for me, I cry, ” have pity on me;
heal me, comfort me in my distress.”
3 All who seek the Lord will find compassion,
As a child on its mother’s breast.
As for me, Lord, grant me your protection;
Only in your arms my soul can rest.

After a few songs from Erica Marshall from the As One Voice digital archive, I’ll do a few from Peter Grant. I have done quite a few of his songs over the years and they are all now available to be purchased for download at as One Voice.
He sourced the text for this hymn from Psalm 24, Matt 8:9 and John 8:12. It will suit many liturgies, but it is especially appropriate for Lent and for Reconciliation. It is most singable with a gap for breathing before the triplet flourish near the end of the verses… very considerate.
You can purchase the sheet music from As One Voice.
There is an instrumental sound sample at AOV, but that didn’t stop me making my own version on BIAB.
Refrain
Teach me your ways, O Lord, and I will follow you,
All of my days O Lord; teach me your ways.
1 Make me know your ways, O Lord. Teach me your paths,
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
For your are God my Saviour.
2 Keep in mind your mercy, Lord, and faithful love.
In your love remember me, Lord,
Because of your great goodness.
3 Turn to me, O gracious Lord; free me from sin.
Guard my life and rescue me, Lord,
My only hope is in you.
4 Teacher I will follow you, wherever you go;
never more to walk on darkness,
You are the light of my life.

This is yet more liturgical usefulness from Erica Marshall found in the As One Voice digital archive. Again, it is what it says and can be repeated until all are wet.
The sheet music can be purchased at As One Voice.
There was no sound sample there, but you can learn the song by singing along to my backing.
Living springs of water, dying, rising in our lives.
Bring us into newness. Fill us with God’s love.

I’m continuing with Erica Marshall songs from the As One Voice digital archive.
This song is what it says and singable even with the key change.
The sheet music can be purchased at As One Voice.
There is no sample to listen to there, so you can sing along with my backing.
1 We wish you peace. We wish you happiness.
The God of love be with you now.
May all your days reveal the tenderness of God’s caress
And you are blessed. We wish you peace.
2 Come walk in peace. Come know this Christmas joy
As Christ is born deep in our hearts.
May we go forth to tell a world of fear that Christ is here.
His light is clear. His way is peace.
Rpt verse 1 then: We wish you peace x2

This is some more liturgical music from Erica Marshall from the As One Voice digital archive.
She has written a call and response hymn for cantor and assembly to use at funerals as the Song of Farewell.
The sheet music can be purchased at As One Voice.
Cantor: I know that my redeemer lives: on the last day I shall rise again.
All: and in my flesh I shall see God, I shall see God.
Cantor: I shall see God face to face my own eyes shall behold my Saviour.
All: and in my flesh I shall see God, I shall see God.
Cantor: Within my heart this hope I cherish.
All: that in my flesh I shall see God, I shall see God.

This song, from the As One Voice digital archive, is by Erica Marshall and is designed for the Scrutinies in Lent. The themes of water, light and life will resonate in many liturgies outside that specific use. It is a simple singable tune.
The sheet music can be purchased at As One Voice. You can also stream a vocal performance of the hymn there.
I made a backing to help learn the song.
1 Come, all of you who thirst, drink deep of my abundance.
With the water I will give, you will never thirst again.
Streams will freely flow, more than you could know.
With the water I can give you will never thirst again.
2 Come, all who dimly see, walk into light and beauty.
With the light that I will give, you will not be blind again.
All men to the light, darkness turn aright.
With the light that I can give you will not be blind again.
3 Come, all who are bound tight, come out into new freedom.
With the life that I can give, you will never die again.
Roll the stone away, you can live today.
With the life that I can give, you will never die again.
