On the Beach,the Waves of Waters

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #2b (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Songs of Grace First Line: On the beach, the waves of waters Lyrics: On the beach, the waves of waters Crash upon the sparkling sand. Parents with their sons and daughters Stroll and chatter, hand in hand. Several people, watching, gazing, Spot some dolphins swimming free. God, your world is so amazing! Thank you for the wondrous sea. Later on, the storm clouds gather, Rolling in upon the shore. Lightning crashes, people scatter As the rains begin to pour. There is music in the thunder! Soon the storms will pass on by. God, we thank you for the wonder Of the ever-changing sky. In our homes and on vacation, God, your love is every place. You have made this good creation; You have filled your world with grace. Sea and land reflect your glory; Beauty lights your sky above. God, creation sings the story Of your ever-constant love.

Jesus, You Once Called Disciples

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #14 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Songs of Grace First Line: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you Lyrics: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you: Simon (also known as Peter), Andrew and Bartholomew, Philip, Thomas, James, and Matthew, Simon, Thaddaeus, John, and James– Then there was the one called Judas. These were your disciples' names. Women, too, were your disciples, sitting, learning, at your feet. Mary knew your word was precious, even more than food to eat. Martha trusted in your power when her brother Laz'rus died. Women shared your journey, Lord, and stayed when you were crucified. Lord, so many heard and followed, like the woman at the well. Meeting you, the living water, she sought others she could tell. Like the boy with loaves and fishes, like Zacchaeus in the tree, Many gladly heard your message; many shared your ministry. Jesus, still you call your people, "Come and follow me today!" Some, like Paul, feel sudden wonder; some are brought up in your way. Lord, no matter how we meet you, by your Spirit, make us new. May we know your living presence; may we daily follow you. Topics: Call/Vocation; Jesus Christ Ministry Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:5 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

Where is Bread?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #22b (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Songs of Grace First Line: "Where is bread?" the great crowd murmured-- Lyrics: “Where is bread?” the great crowd murmured— Thousands strong, yet all in need. “Where is bread?” your people wondered, Faced with such a crowd to feed. Who, Lord Jesus, could have guessed it? One small boy brought food to share. Taking what he gave, you blessed it; All were fed, with much to spare. Where is bread? We know their yearning; Every day, we wish for more. God, in time, we’re slowly learning: All we own can make us poor. Our possessions can possess us, Leaving hunger deep inside. Christ our Bread, come now and bless us; At your feast, we’re satisfied. “Where is bread?” the call is rising; Millions cry who must be fed. God, your answer seems surprising: “You, my Church, you give them bread.” Bread to fill each hungry spirit, Bread for hungry stomachs, too! Give us bread and help us share it. Richly blest, may we serve you. Topics: Eucharist/Lord's Supper; Jesus Christ; Justice Scripture: John 6:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE
