Opening Hymn

NCH NCH 222 My Song Is Love e Unknown

slide-7
SLIDE 7

My song is love unknown, my Savior's love to me, Love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be. O who am I, that for my sake my God should take frail flesh and die? My God should take frail flesh and die?

slide-8
SLIDE 8

God left the richest throne salvation to bestow; But Christ as flesh and bone the world refused to know. But, O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need did life expend; who at my need did life expend.

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Sometimes they threw down palms and sweetest praises sang. Hosannas and glad psalms through streets and markets rang. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, for blood and death they thirst and cry; for blood and death they thirst and cry.

slide-10
SLIDE 10

What has my Sovereign done? What makes this rage and spite? Christ gave new strength to run, restored the gift of sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise; themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

I sing my plain belief,

  • ne song my heart outpours:

Never was pain nor grief, never was love like yours. This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend; I all my days could gladly spend.

Unison Prayer

slide-14
SLIDE 14

You in-spiration, your breathing into us, God, of your Spirit, fills us with each breath. If the world remembered each breath as a prayer of your love, there would be no violence, oppression,

slide-15
SLIDE 15

forgetfulness of the “Other.” Imagine… It is why we breath. Why we gather. Why we pray.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

It is why we are joyful even in the midst of difficult times, for our breath/your breath brings life and love to all humankind and the world whenever we remember. Help us, please, to remember.
