I think of you often – v3

I think of you often
moving in faith,
Believing more and more
more each day.

Sharing our witness
prayers of praise;
Hoping to be a blessing
to others in love.

I think of you often
on this journey;
thinking about mission
our calling from God.

a posture of praise – v4

we need to break from our patterns
our long-standing habits
we need to center differently
on God alone

the rest of it is chaff, dust
nothing really
so much greater than all
is our Creator, our God

we should take on a posture of praise
bowing, as servants, children,
of eternal reverence, cleaving to
our God and our King

we must tapping into, feeding,
a spirit of eternal reverence
we must remember always
our God above.

gathering in closing – v3

Gathering to pray,
gathering in closing,
around one table;
Coming together
in union, in love

Loving one another
as Jesus loves us;
Seeing Christ within
each brother, each sister,
united in love

Gathering around the table
to break bread together,
to remember Your blessing;
Ever mindful, ever thankful,
for Your hand on our lives

on my shoulder – v6

I need to remember
I need to trust
because I am never alone
on my journey,
in this walk.
God is with us
on my shoulder
as I walk in life;
God is here to guide me
to direct me;
the yoke of Christ
is upon me,
in every step,
as I walk in life

It is in the little things
the small decisions
on the journey that matter.
The choices to be made,
the choices to remain
to stay true to God
or to turn, to run away;
We are called to be Christ
to share love as He does
to be a blessing, to be light,
in every step, each moment,
as I as I journey forward,
in every step,
as I walk in life

we are fed;
we are nurtured

we are lifted up, encouraged,
for the work.

we are blessed;
we are raised up
within the congregation.
we given work to do
as we are led by the Spirit.

we take on our yoke;
we walk with Christ
within the fellowship of love.
we are led, guided,
out into the world.

the Giver of all things – v3

Creator of the universe
of the parts of the atom;
the Giver of all things,
all that ever was

We have our hope in God
our Maker, our Savior;
supplying seed for the sower,
and grain for the harvest

We must trust in God’s power
in God’s goodness;
we must let go of wealth,
we must give it away

We must believe in God
in His generous nature;
we must be generous too,
trusting God will provide.
