God calls me to rest
to be at peace within Him, centered
stilling myself by the waters
untrammeled by the wind
lingering, with Him
in green pastures, resting
in lush meadows, in Your grace
with You, oh Lord, my God
For this I sing Your praises
proclaiming Christ, the Good News
with Him I travel each day
walking protected
by my Shepherd
anointed for His purpose
following my Savior
in Him do I rest.

“Abundant God, we thank
you for the jars of our lives
that are constantly being
filled. We offer our gifts to you,
that others may know of
your abundance and grace.
Fill the hungry with good
things. Lift up the oppressed.
Watch over the stranger
and comfort the lonely.
Through our gifts, may we
do likewise.
In the name of Christ the
Comforter, we pray. Amen”
