Mothers Prayer Celebration 
Mothers Prayer Celebration Introduction: 
Hannah prays and says, “My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in my God. 

My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in my victory.” I Samuel 2:1. 

We compare Hannah’s prayer in 1 Samuel 2:1-10 to Mary’s Magnificat in Luke 1:46-55. 
How does their faith in God’s mystery inspire them to praise? 

Hannah takes her concerns to the Lord. She appears blessed as one of the Lord’s chosen. It is interesting that this story begins with Hannah. 

Psalm 16 is a symmetric Psalm, five stanzas of two verses each. Although our mortal world is filled with many trials and tribulations, we may still turn to our Lord in prayer for strength and capacity to persevere. We may praise the Lord for the blessings He will bestow upon us as we travel through life. 

The concept consistent within Hebrews is that as long as one confesses belief in the Lord, salvation will come to each of them. Hebrews summons us to spiritual alertness. 

Jesus reserves some of his most essential teaching for private moments with His disciples. 
Mother’s Prayer 

 Celine Dion 

I pray you’ll be my eyes

And watch her where she goes

And help her to be wise

Help me to let go. 

Every mother’s prayer

Every child knows

Lead her to a place

Guide her with your grace

To a place where she’ll be safe. 
Mother’s Prayer Scripture:

1 Samuel 1:4-20, 2:1-10. 

Psalm 16. 

Hebrews 10:11-14, (15-18), 19-25. 

Mark 13:1-8. 

Go in peace; the God of Israel grant the petition you have made to him. 1 Samuel 1:17. 

Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge. Ps. 16:1. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Ps. 16:11. 

Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. Heb. 10:23. 

Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.” Mark 13:2. 
Psalm 16 Song

 Missionary Diocese of St. Benedict 

Prayer: 

Redeeming Sustainer,

visit your people

and pour out your strength and courage upon us,

that we may hurry to make you welcome

not only in our concern for others,

but by serving them

generously and faithfully in your name. Amen. 

The Summons Song 

John Belle and Graham Maule, Iona Community. 

 Sung by Robert Kochis 

Wild Goose 

Will you come and follow me

If I but call your name?

Will you go where you don’t know

And never be the same?

Will you let my love be shown,

Will you let my name be known,

Will you let my life be grown

In you and you in me? 
Prayer: 

Timeless One,

you create all moments of our lives,

giving each its meaning and purpose.

Strengthen us to witness continually

to the love of Jesus Christ,

that we may hold fast in times of trial,

even to the end of the ages. Amen.

Song of Thanks and Hope for America and Our Military Heroes 
Memorial Day Prayer for Our Military and Military Families

Heavenly Father, Today is yours. We thank you for giving us this beautiful opportunity to honor the men and women who so bravely served this country in the past as well as in the present. Father we ask you to bless and strengthen those brave souls who selflessly give of themselves without asking anything in return. We ask you to heal our wounded warriors who returned home in pain after they gave their all for this great land. Bless them. Restore their souls. Heal their bodies. Bring salvation to the lost. 

Father we ask you to bless the families of our military who stay behind while their loved one goes into battle. Keep them safe and provide for their needs according to your abundance. Lord, we pray for a special blessing upon the families whose loved one gave his or her life to this country. Keep them safe and comfort their hearts. 

Lord, we ask you to anoint our Chaplains and others who bring the Word to our military. Bless their ministry and bring a great harvest of souls from their efforts. 

Father, we ask you to forgive the sins of this nation as well as the sins of the leaders who have forgotten how to pray. Have mercy on all Americans and bring us to a state of repentance in these difficult times. We ask you to forgive our pride as a nation and deliver us from the evil that has come upon us. You alone are righteous and holy. You alone are worthy of praise. We thank you for hearing our prayer! In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Measure Contribution Celebration  for the Community 

Modern Song Focus on Contemporary Church Artists 

Everyone is Welcome!  
Measure Contribution Celebration introduction: 

A widow without a husband often can not find the financial means to meet her earthly obligations. This becomes a stigma that enlarges the vulnerability. How well put the story of Naomi and Ruth demonstrates this stigma and the clear logic they used to deal with and overcome the unfortunate situation. This well planned human response to misfortune should be recognized and respected. 

The psalm delivers to us a doxology, praise for the Lord, despite the the misfortune that exists throughout all time due to man’s earthly plight. Happiness is elusive, joy and contentment are difficult to experience. Our Lord will remain with us and not abandon us despite all our tribulations, some brought on as a result of our own devices. Our humanly experiences on Earth are measured small in time compared to the eternal reward. 

Hebrews looks into the human response to the reality of faith formation, believing in a powerful Creator God and eternal reward despite the misfortunes experienced in a mortal earthly existence. The importance of the New Covenant Jesus refers to in the Last Supper can not be missed or understated. Indeed we are to celebrate that spirit of atonement and our promised reward that will be waiting for us. 

The financially impoverished widow gives all that she has trusting it is the correct action to take with her material possessions. We have a lesson to learn as we do not find the Scribes of Biblical times willing to do the same, nor can many of us follow her example today, as the sacrifice is great. 

Be filled with Joy and Peace that surpasses all our human and earthly understanding! 

Scripture: 

My daughter, I need to seek some security for you, so that it may be well with you. Ruth 3:1. 

Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Ps. 127:1. 

Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Heb. 9:28. 

Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. Mark 12:43. 
Psalm 127 Song 

 – performed by Christian Scripture Praise Worship – Esther Mui 

Prayer: 

Providing God,

you journeyed with Ruth

and comforted Hannah

when their lives were burdened by grief.

Grant us faith to believe you will provide a future

where we see none,

that bitterness may turn to joy

and barrenness may bear life. Amen. 
Spirit of God 

Words: George Croly, 1854 

Music: Karl Digerness, 2006

 performed by City Church San Francisco 

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart, 

Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move; 

Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, 

And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 

I ask no dream, no prophet-ecstasies; 

No sudden rending of the veil of clay; 

No angel vision, no opening skies; 

But take the dimness of my soul away. 
Prayer:  

God of life, we praise you for your abiding presence

from generation to generation,

blessing your people,

strengthening us to lives of service,

empowering us to witness.

Hear the prayers we offer on behalf of your creation. 

Grant that as we serve you now on earth,

so we may one day rejoice with all the saints

in your kingdom of light and peace,

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Creed. 

 – performed by The Crossing at St. Paul’s 

Prayer: 
God our redeemer,

in sustaining the lives of Naomi and Ruth,

you gave new life to your people.

We ask that from age to age,

new generations may be born

to restore life and nourish the weak,

by returning to you 

those things we once thought ours. Amen. 
To the Cross I Cling 

 performed by Village Church 

No day of my life has passed that has not

Proved me guilty in your sight. 

The best I have to offer are these filthy rags

And yet you love me. 

All things in me call for my rejection. 

All things in You plead my acceptance. 

I am guilty but pardoned by grace I’ve been set free. 

I am ransomed through the blood you shed for me. 

I was dead in my transgressions, but life you brought to me. 

I am reconciled through mercy,

to the cross I cling. 

Prayer: 

God of widows and strangers,

you protect the oppressed and forgotten

and feed the hungry with good things.

You stand among us in Christ, offering life to all.

Give us open hearts and minds

to respond with love to the world,

caring for those for whom you care. Amen.  
Jesus I Come 

 performed by Greg Thompson 

Out of my bondage, sorrow and night, 

Jesus, I come; Jesus I come. 

Into Thy freedom, gladness and light, 

Jesus, I come to Thee. 

Out of my sickness into Thy health, 

Out of my wanting and into Thy wealth, 

Out of my sin and into Thyself, 

Jesus, I come to Thee.

All Saints Celebration  for the Community 

Traditional Theme 

Everyone is Welcome!  

All Saints Celebration introduction: 

At this feast in Isaiah, the Lords providence and power are on display. God is preparing to judge and to save. But God does it in a way utterly unlike any earthly royal host. He swallows death. 

As we celebrate All Saints Day, Revelations proclaims the victory of God and the victory over evil and death that is ours in Christ Jesus. We can take heart that our loved ones lie safely in his care as we wait on His return. 

Lazarus gets another chance at life as a result of Jesus commanding him to “Come out.” What would we do if we were to die today and receive another chance to live as the Lord granted Lazarus? 

Scripture: 

This is the LORD for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Isaiah 25:9. 

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. Ps. 24:10. 

It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Rev. 21:6. 

Unbind him and let him go. John 11:44. 

Psalm 24 Song – performed by Sons of Korah

Prayer: 

God of unfailing light,

in your realm of glory

the poor are blessed,

the hungry filled,

and every tear is wiped away.

Strengthened by this vision,

may we follow in the way of holiness

that your Son made known in life and death. Amen.

I Want to Walk as a Child of the LIght – 

Notre Dame Lit Choir Alumni

Prayer:  

All blessing, honor, and glory,

all wisdom, praise, and thanks be yours,

O God of our salvation!

We pray in communion with all the saints on earth and heaven,

with the martyrs and the faithful in all ages,

and in the name of the Lamb who was slain,

who alone is worthy of worship. Amen. 

The Creed. 

 – performed by The Crossing at St. Paul’s 

Prayer: 

Bless us with your healing presence;

make us hungry for justice;

strengthen our faith;

and increase our love for others,

especially those we find it most difficult to love. Amen.

Sing with all the Saints in Glory – 

Hymn to Joy – Bankson

Prayer: 

Source of all being, beginning and end,

we praise you for those who have served you faithfully.

For the sake of Jesus Christ,

replenish our hope in your eternal kingdom,

that we may have life in all its fullness,

unfettered by the fear of death. Amen

Love the Lord Celebration  The Great Commandment

 for the Community 

Traditional Modern Blend Theme 

Everyone is Welcome!  

Love the Lord Great Commandment Celebration introduction: 

Here Deut. 6 encourages us to engage in love of the Lord with all we may imagine. Of course we will engage and demonstrate our love in the Lord to our neighbors, call on and encourage them to do the same. 

Ps. 119 is a psalm of repetition that demonstrates the concept that we are what we engage in thought, behavior and willingness to follow in the tenets of our faith. 

In Heb. 9., Jesus addresses Jewish tradition in order to present a clear direction that adopts the concept that He is both the High Priest and the sacrificial lamb. 

Jesus is a gifted storyteller as told to us throughout Scripture, here in Mark. Here we have a scribe, clearly one of a class of people that follow behind and criticize Jesus at the time, who appears to agree with Jesus. This is remarkable that a follower of traditional Jewish law within a group generally opposing Jesus would demonstrate support for the Messiah and what He stands for in front of the people. Mark 12. 

Scripture: 

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Deut. 6:5. 

Happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the LORD. Ps. 119:1. 

How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God! Heb. 9:14. 

Great Commandment: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. Mark 12:30. 

Psalm 119 Song – 

 Zion Christian Press 

 – brought to you by the letter Aleph 

Prayer: 
Providing God, you journeyed with Ruth and comforted Hannah when their lives were burdened by grief. Grant us faith to believe you will provide a future where we see none, that bitterness may turn to joy and barrenness may bear life. Amen.
Blessed Assurance 

Text: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 

Music: Phoebe P. Knapp, 1839-1908 

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! 
O what a foretaste of glory divine! 

Heir of salvation, purchase of God, 

born of his Spirit, washed in his blood. 

Refrain: 

This is my story, this is my song, 

praising my Savior all the day long; 

this is my story, this is my song, 

praising my Savior all the day long. 
Prayer:  

Redeeming Sustainer, visit your people and pour out your strength and courage upon us, that we may hurry to make you welcome not only in our concern for others, but by serving them generously and faithfully in your name. Amen. 
The Creed. 

 – performed by The Crossing at St. Paul’s 

Prayer: 

Bless us with your healing presence; make us hungry for justice; strengthen our faith; and increase our love for others, especially those we find it most difficult to love. Amen.
I’d Rather have Jesus 

 Performed by Buller, Ballzer and Aichele 

I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold,

I’d rather be His than have riches untold;

I’d rather have Jesus than houses or land,

Yes, I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.
Prayer: 

Beloved Companion, you deal with us kindly in steadfast love, lifting up those bent low with care and sustaining the weak and oppressed. Release us from our anxious fears, that we, holding fast to your commandments, may honore you with all that we are and all that we have. Amen.

Day by Day 

 Prayer by English Bishop St. Richard 1270. 

Godspell 1971. 

 Stephen Schwartz and John Michael Tebelik 

Day by day, oh, dear Lord, three things I pray. 

To see thee more clearly, Love thee more dearly, Follow thee more nearly, day by day. 

Day by day, day by day; Oh, dear Lord, three things I pray. 

To see thee more clearly, Love thee more dearly, Follow thee more nearly, day by day. 
Prayer: 

Eternal God, teach us to love you not only in mind and heart but also in purpose and action, that we may love the children of the earth, in Jesus Christ. Amen.

Celebrate Reformation Day Martin Luther 

Salvation Justification by Faith Alone 

For Lutherans, and other Protestant denominations, Reformation Day is an important holiday. Reformation Day is traditionally celebrated on the last Sunday in October. This day celebrates the beginning of the Reformation. The Reformation officially began with Martin Luther posting ninety-five theses on the door at the entrance to the Castle Church in the town of Wittenberg, Germany, in 1517 AD. 

Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk, doctor of theology, and resident of Wittenberg, has the distinction of rediscovering the fundamental tenants of Christian faith, which at the time set the stage for a confrontation within the Church that would eventually lead to the Reformation. 

History of the Reformation

The historical trends that brought about the Reformation began centuries before its actual occurrence. Some fundamental causes stem from the Church’s departure from the foundational teachings of Christ regarding a believer’s relationship with God, believers’ relationships with one another, and the means by which we receive salvation. It is professed that by the fifth century AD, about the time Rome fell, the Church adopted many practices contrary to the teachings of Christ as found in Biblical Scripture. 

There are three notable perceived errors in doctrine standing out as major flaws in direct opposition to the teachings of Christ. These became the basis for Martin Luther’s ninety-five theses. The first error created a priesthood that acted as mediator between the believer and God, suggesting that direct communication between ordinary man and the Almighty was impossible. The second error established a pontiff, the pope, who would exercise authority over the entire Church. The third error related to the attainment of salvation through penitent works and charitable acts, rather than through the miracle of faith in Jesus Christ. 

Faith alone is the foundational answer to the question, “What must I do to be saved?” The doctrine of justification by faith alone is at the center of Reformation theology, and remains critical for all believers today. This doctrine is continually under assault, yet without it, there is no real gospel message. 

Text gleaned and summarized from the written teaching of Martin Luther and interpretation of Biblical Scripture. 

Peace & Joy! Pastor Michael. 

Faith Makes You Well Celebration  for the Community

Traditional Modern Blend Theme

Everyone is Welcome!

Faith Makes You Well Celebration introduction:

Job is challenged to see everything in his life from a fresh perspective. Job 42.

Evil destroys the wicked. The wicked will receive what is coming to them. The Lord redeems the soul of His servants. Satan does not take more than the leash the Lord keeps him on allows. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Ps. 34.

Hebrews offers explanation to the people. This priest will bring to fruition the long awaited hope for a New Covenant. From his vantage point as One living in the presence of the living God, He can affect a change in heart that will allow all of us to draw near to God as well. Heb. 7.

We focus on establishing Jesus’ identity and mission, and blind Bartimaeus appears in the narrative as a man who truly “sees” Jesus. As a story about healing we see someone experiences a problem, there is a factor that complicates matters, Jesus effects the cure, the result is confirmed, and then there is a response to the miracle.  Mark 10.

Church’s One Foundation

– lyrics – Samuel J Stone 1866

– music – Samuel Sebastian Wesley

The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord;

She is His new creation By water and the Word:

From heav’n He came and sought her To be His holy Bride;

With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died.

Scripture:

The LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed for his friends; and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:10.

Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The LORD redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. Ps. 34:21-2.

For the law appoints as high priests those who are subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever. Heb. 7:28.

Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way. Mark 10:51-2.

Psalm 34 Song – performed by Gospel Welpetz

Prayer:

Eternal One, whose thoughts and ways are not ours, you alone are God, awesome, holy, and most high. School us in the ways of faith and wisdom, that we, like Job, may learn to truly see and hear, and in humility find blessing. Amen.

PRAYER is the soul’s sincere desire.

James Montgomery 1818

Charles Wesley

http://www.hymnary.org/media/fetch/182816
PRAYER is the soul’s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed;

The motion of a hidden fire, That trembles in the breast.

Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear;

The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near.

Prayer:

Friends in Christ, God invites us to hold the needs of our sisters and brothers as dear to us as our own needs. Loving our neighbors as ourselves, we offer our thanksgivings and our petitions on behalf of the church and the world.  Hear our prayers, God of power, and through the ministry of your Son free us from the grip of the tomb, that we may desire you as the fullness of life and proclaim your saving deeds to all the world. Amen.

The Creed.

– performed by The Crossing at St. Paul’s

Prayer:

Creator God, you are wrapped in light as a garment, clothed with honor and majesty. Enlighten us with true faith and humble obedience that seeks to serve others in your name. Amen.

Joy to the World

Isaac Watts 1719

– performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir & USAFR

Joy to the World, the Lord has come! Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

 

Most High, your Anointed One offered himself freely as witness against our sin. As you delighted to call him your Son, give us the courage to bring you equal delight by our willingness to drink the cup of sacrifice on behalf or our sisters and brothers, and, with them, offer you praise unceasing and lives transformed as true heirs of your grace-filled realm. Amen

Greatness in Service Celebration
for the Community
Modern Contemporary Blend
Everyone is Welcome!

Greatness in Service Celebration introduction:
If we are able to comprehend the servant’s faithfulness, and that of our Lord Jesus who chooses to bear our sins, we will be living Isaiah 53.
Make the best of all your days on earth. Our salvation gifted by Jesus Christ yields us a bountiful existence within eternity.
Mortals of all kinds do succumb to sin from time to time, even the high priests. Jesus does not succumb to sin. Although He is extremely passionate in His pursuit of His obedience to His Father’s wishes, He does not err, Jesus displays perfection in behavior. This perfection is something we should seek to emulate.
Gospel
James and John follow Jesus’ revealing statement in a manner that demonstrates how little they have learned for the time they followed Jesus. James and John fail to acknowledge Jesus’ anticipation of suffering and death; instead they imagine a regal scene where they sit in positions of honor and power at King Jesus’ right and left. Sometimes we may say, “I wish I could be more like Jesus!” Is this really our wish? If we want this wish to come true, we must give our lives in service to others.

Scripture:
Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out himself to death. Isaiah 53:12.
Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. Ps. 91:14.
Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you.” Heb. 5:5.
Whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant. Mark 10:43.

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art;

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Psalm 91 Song – Sons of Korah

Prayer:
Eternal One, whose thoughts and ways are not ours,
you alone are God, awesome, holy, and most high.
School us in the ways of faith and wisdom,
that we may learn to truly see and hear,

Inherit Eternal Life Celebration
for the Community
Traditional Gospel Modern Contemporary Blend
Everyone is Welcome!

Inherit Eternal Life Celebration introduction:
Why do we experience a tension between the aspiration of knowing how we should live our lives as Christians following Jesus’ example and the way we actually live our lives day to day?
We have the Lord’s promise that He will be with us. Amos 5:14.
We pray the Lord will turn away from His wrath for our behavior. Ps. 90:12.
We must not replicate the lack of trust and disobedience of the Israelites that wandered in the wilderness. Lord God our father sent His son Jesus Christ to set an example for us and die to freely give us the gift of salvation. Hebrews.
Wealthy versus Impoverished. Money will not buy us everything. We must come to grips with our own system of values and practice humility. Mark. How do we find our way to salvation? God so loved the world that he sent his only Son so that whoever believes in him will have eternal life. John 3:16. It is our faith in Jesus, not our goodness that will get us to heaven.

Scripture:
Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of Hosts, will be with you. Amos 5:14.
Teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart. Ps. 90:12.
We have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. Heb. 4:14.
“Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Mark 10:17.

Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.

Psalm 90 Song – James Block

Prayer:
Eternal One, whose thoughts and ways are not ours,
you alone are God, awesome, holy, and most high.
School us in the ways of faith and wisdom,
that we may learn to truly see and hear,
and in humility find blessing. Amen.

10.000 Reasons Bless the Lord O my soul
Matt Redman

Bless the Lord O my soul
O my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name

The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes.

Prayer:
We praise your abiding guidance, O God,
for you sent us Jesus, our Teacher and Messiah,
to model for us the way of love for the whole universe.
We offer these prayers of love
on behalf of ourselves and our neighbors,
on behalf of your creation and our fellow creatures.
Loving God,
open our ears to hear your word
and draw us closer to you,
that the whole world may be one with you
as you are one with us in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

This I Believe (The Creed)
Hillsong Worship

Our Father everlasting
The all creating One
God Almighty

Through Your Holy Spirit
Conceiving Christ the Son
Jesus our Savior.

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in one
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus.

Prayer:
God, you promise never to forsake us,
but to bring us to life,
nurture us with your presence,
and sustain us even in the hour of our death.
Meet us in our deepest doubts
when we feel abandoned,
drowning in our fear of your absence.
Visit us in the tension between our yearning and our anger,
that we may know your mercy and grace in our time of need. Amen.

Stand By Me

Charles Tindley (1905).

– performed by Elvis Presley

When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me.
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me.
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship out on the sea,
Thou who rulest when wanted
Stand by me.
