Poem based on All Saints Matthew 5:1-12

Blessed are we

Blessed in the midst of God’s love

Blessed in the midst of our world

Blessed in what we feel     

                    See

                              Do

          Blessed

Even in the times we find it hard

To see

          The blessing

Even then

We can know ourselves

As the children of God

Especially then

We can know

          See

                    Feel

God’s presence in our lives

          Blessed

God’s love in our lives

Given by the One

Who came to save

Blessed are you

In the name of Christ

John 8:31-36

It is not a matter of belonging

not a matter of doing

or doing better

Christ has come into this world

and saved us

and called us to be

the children of God

not to be saved

but

because we are

God has loved us

Christ has saved us

we are now called to run

and enjoy

and be

the children of God.

That’s Grace.

Psalm 46

Worship Leader: It is God who is our refuge and strength and our ever-present help in times of trouble, therefore we will not live in fear.  For even though the earth may give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, even if the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging, we will not fear. Our God is with us, our refuge and strength is ever-present with us. 

Congregation: In Revelation there is a river whose streams bring life and joy to the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High. God is within this Holy City, this dwelling place of God with us, and she will not fall. 

Worship Leader: God brings help to us at the break of each new day and though nations may be in uproar and kingdoms may fall God is still with us and ruler of all. 


Congregation: The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.  Come one and all and see what the LORD has done in our lives and in the lives of all the people of the earth. 

Worship Leader: The Lord brings wars to an end.  The Lord breaks the bow and shatters the spear destroying all the instruments of war, and then says, “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Congregation: We will exalt the Lord our God among all the nations of the earth, for the LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our strength.

Luke 18:1-8

Why does this happen to me

I tell my children what I want

and they don’t listen

last week I told them

keep their room clean

and now look

I told them once

once

To enter into a relationship

is more than once

is more than telling

more than holy brevity

it is the now

the then

the when

the ongoing chatter

rather than the occasional thought

Pray constantly Christ says

live in a relationship

not always holy

except it be blessed

by God

Psalm 121

Luke 17:11-19 Master heal us, almost

Jesus, Master, have mercy on us

Heal us and forget us

A bit show

For all to see

Something we can tell our friends

And it will give you a few points in the process

Jesus

Almost master

Heal us

So we can go about out way

Doing what we want

With no thought of you

(your faith)

Except the story of the day

When you healed us

Except for that one

Outsider

That Samaritan

Who broke ranks

(has healed)

It was a good thing to do and all that

But really

Has he no self

Self

Self Respect

To go groveling like that

All Jesus did was say go to the priests

Show yourselves

(you)

Nothing new here

Same ol’ same ol’

Does he really want us to worship

Thank

Him

For doing nothing?

Thank Him

(and saved)

For our religion?

(you)
