Matthew 11:16-19,25-30 Rest for the Weary

Dance, dance wherever you may be

For we are the lords of the dance

Said we

Jesus!!

What do you want with us

Jesus!!

We did your bidding

We started the church

We studied all the documents

And found ways to keep the word

Pure

And them

Out

We have accords and charts

Timetables and structures

Committees and boards

(come to me)

Who make division decisions

And keep the righteous wannabes

Happy

(all who are weary)

We even invite them in

Just not as clergy

(and burdened)

After all

(and I will give you rest)

This is our church

Isn’t it?

Psalm 145:8-21

Worship Leader: The LORD is gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and rich in love.

Congregation: The LORD is good to all and has compassion on all creation and creatures.

Worship Leader: All of creation Praises You O Lord and the people of faith extol you and tell of your glory day in and day out in what they say and in what they do so that all will know the wonders of the Lord.  

Congregation: Your love and your kingdom is forever and ever, your loving rule for all generations.

Worship Leader: Who can you trust but the Lord who upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down?

Congregation: The eyes of all look to the Lord and the Lord supplies enough and desires for all to have enough food at the proper time, for the Lord’s open hand desires that every living thing have enough to live and flourish. 

Worship Leader: The Lord is righteous and faithful, near to all who truthfully call upon the name of the Lord

Congregation: The Lord works to fulfill the desires of all the children of God.  The Lord hears the cries of the despised and saves them from all who would destroy them.

Worship Leader: My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD.

Congregation: Let every creature praise the holy name of the Lord forever and ever. Amen!

Matthew 10:40-42 a cup of cold water

Let me take your coat sir

Please sit over here

Is there anything else I can get you

I do hope you will come back again

Kiss, kiss

How lovely to see you

Schmooze

And there is the reward

As we scramble for the highest

Religious

Place

Profit Prophets

Fill the airwaves

And in the alleys outside

Children

Lost

Lonely

Least

Looking only for a little kindness

Love

And maybe a drink of fresh water

Peace, Peace

Peace be with us

As we continue on our path

Wave after wave of parallel paths

All going in the same direction

Calling the other

What we all want

Matthew 9:35-10:8

Go into the world

Go with more than just words

bring hope to lives that see none

Let you prayer be the dirty hands

of one who

Loves

---- beyond words

and the giving of alms

the gift waiting there for you

is beyond any gift you could ever give

beyond any gift you could ever receive

Go into the world

and tell of the love of Christ

in the words you speak

and in the deeds you do

that all may marvel and know

this Prince of Peace

this God of love

sent not just to tell

---- but to do

and as the Father has sent me

so now I send you

The Holy Trinity Matthew 28:16-20

Go into the world

And teach them to love

Teach them the commands

To

---- love the Lord

---- with all their heart

-------- soul

------------ mind

---- and their neighbor

-------- as themselves

---- and to love themselves

---- while they are at it

Baptize all who will hear

In the name of the one who

---- Created

-------- Redeemed

------------ and Sanctified the world

in the name of the one who loves

as a parent loves their children

in the midst of the horseplay

---- and bickering and fighting

Go spread the word

---- invite

-------- Baptize

------------ and forgive

the uninvited

---- unbaptized

-------- and unforgivable

tell them the news that the battle is over

the victory is won

---- come to the waters and hear

---- come to the waters and see

---- come to the waters and be feed

---- O my children

Come.

Psalm 8

Pastor: You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have brought forth praise which silences the foe and the avenger and calls us to live as one.

Congregation: When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what are we that you are mindful of us, who are we that you care for us? 

Pastor: You made humanity a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned us with glory and honor. You call us to lovingly care for the works of your hands and lay all that we have at Your feet O Lord.

Congregation: You call us to care for all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and all that swims the paths of the seas. We will therefore lovingly care for this world you have created for us.
