Lord, I love the way you move me
But you move me in mysterious ways
And so often Lord I cannot see,
But, always, you never cease to amaze
Sometimes Lord I love the way you move me
Sometimes as a subtle soft sound in the trees
Sometimes in a flood and mighty gale
Sometimes through the love that tore the veil
You move like fire coursing through my veins
And I come alive with joyous strains
You move me through the seasons' change
And sometimes, my heart, you rearrange
You work in ways I don't always comprehend
I don't always understand them I won't pretend
But though I don't know why or where or how
I know that someway someday somehow
That you are there and it is you
You are there living, loving, and true
And I will trust:
That as sure as the sun rises and the wind blows
I will follow it wherever it goes
For, you are God, and you move me
And where you are is where I want to be

Little children are taught that sharing is caring
The weight of troubles Jesus is gladly bearing
For, when two share the work, the load is light
And together things often turn out all right
Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it
And gave each of his friends a little bit
He said "This is my body broken and shared
This is my blood poured out; wounds repaired
Do such as this in memory of me
Share with all whom you meet"
Share your faith and share your bread
Do this and you, yourself, will be fed
I've heard that we aren't truly living
At least not until we are truly giving
Jesus gave himself body and blood
Gave his life freely for us out of pure love
He gave his life that we might have life
On the third day, Jesus rose from the grave
I sing praise for my God who is mighty to save
Sharing brings joy to the heart of the giver
Let it wash over you like a mighty rushing river
Live in the light that never passes away
And soak up the glow of love every day

Arms outstretched
Hands open
Palms up
Ready to receive

Hands cupped
To hold
Then together pointing up
Directing thoughts to Heaven

Finally, cradling hands open
To accept and take in
And there they rest
Brought tenderly to the heart

The world today, in which we live,
Is concerned about worldly treasure
Like addicts searching for the next pleasure.
We store up things and wealth and toys
And fill our existence with riotous noise.
Silence hurts worse than bombs and guns
Yet how many dead? Fathers, daughters, mothers and sons.
The riches of this world are frail and fleeting.
Not so, the life from a heart freely bleeding.
Many are those who have great money
And somehow their life is not so sunny.
And yet some who have naught in the world's view
Are the most joyful happy people I ever knew.
Their true riches are found in God their Lord
And in their hearts their wealth is stored.
Blessed are they who do not have much,
But are rich in love and such.
Happy are those who have less and are more free...
Because the weight of stuff slows us down you see!

Do not try to be what you are not,
Rather, be yourself and who you are.
You are special and you have great value,
But you are searching for a place to belong,
Struggling to find a family; a place to call home.
Your family are the people whom you care for
And who also care for you.
Though people may exploit the love and care that is shared
Your family is your greatest asset and strength.
The bonds of love are stronger even than the bonds of blood.
They know you, so for goodness' sake don't be fake, but get real.
Let their love steady you to keep you on an even keel.
Let them be the compass for you to find your way back,
And their light be the stars at night to keep you on track.

Christ is born within us
We bear him in our hearts
Prayer and offering borne to heaven
On the wings of the angels
In his dying, we are crucified with him
By his rising, we are born again
On his shoulders, he bore our sin
Suffered for our sake with arms wide open
Than the gift of life, there is none greater
We have been given a new lease on life
Let us not squander this second chance
So great the magnitude of our circumstance
Born of spirit and flesh, body and soul
Two worlds longing to be whole
Spirit of God come fill me up
So that the love of Christ, in me, is born
Then I may go to plant and sow
And seeds of faith, one day, will grow

Pray first, pray often, pray always
Begin by acknowledgment and praise
Our Father who art in Heaven
Blessed and holy is thy name!
He is Lord and, as such,
We should treat him the same
Once we have done this we can begin
To open our hearts that we might listen
Thy Kingdom come Thy Will be done
Come to him in humble surrender
Ask him your questions, ask him to reveal
What He desires for us to feel
Open our eyes to recognize
Your love as your word comes alive
In our hearts and in our souls
After this we come to a place
Of forgiveness, repentance and grace
Forgive us our sins as we ourselves
Forgive those who are in debt to us
Lord, we pray, bless our foes
Make them Holy and happy
Forgive me Lord, I bought the lie
That you did not know as well as I
What was best for me and for my good
I see now that I was wrong
And I should've listened all along
I beg your grace to follow still
And the strength to do your will
Finally, ask God to bless your life
Pray for others who are in strife
Believe that God will hear and answer
If he overcame death, he can overcome cancer
Give us, this day, our daily bread
Lord of life, please keep us fed
Ask, seek, knock, and pray
To the Life, the Truth and the Way
Pray first: ask what God wants you to pray for
Pray often: pray daily and be faithful to it
Pray and fast: it focuses our mind and our heart
Pray always: pray without ceasing
Be patient and persistent; do not lose heart
Like a friend or doctor, make an appointment
Make a time and keep it Holy and Blest
Do your part and God will provide the rest
