You Call Us, Lord, to Worship

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #38 (2009) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: You call us, Lord, to worship; the day is set aside Lyrics: You call us, Lord, to worship; the day is set aside. Your love is overflowing; the doors are opened wide. Yet as we see your goodness, we see what we have been. And so we humbly ask you, "Forgive us of our sin!" We are forgiven people; we know your love's embrace. The peace of Christ is with us; forgiveness fills this place. We hear your word in scripture, in sermon and in song. Again, again, you tell us: we're loved and we belong. We share our joys and sorrows and then we offer prayer For people who are hurting, for nations everywhere. We bring our tithes and offerings, returning what is yours, For what we keep may vanish, but what we give endures. We celebrate your love, Lord, with water, wine and bread. For at your font we're welcomed and at your feast we're fed. We pray the prayer you taught us; we sing your praise and then Through daily, faithful living, we worship you again.

We Look to You, O Jesus

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #47 (2009) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: We look to you, O Jesus--in faith, our Pioneer-- Lyrics: We look to you, O Jesus—in faith, our Pioneer— For you have gone before us and brought your people here. You showed us all God’s kingdom, you gave us work to do; In death you went before us; for life, we turn to you. We looked to you to guide us three hundred years ago; How different was the land then, from this land that we know. With towns and country growing, your people heard your call, And so they built new churches, proclaiming you to all. Through times of strife and anguish, through times of joy and grace, Through conflicts with our culture, you’ve brought us to this place; And still your world is changing, and still we seek to be A church reformed, reforming in faithful ministry. Perfecter of the faith, Lord, we look to you each day; We work for peace and justice, we worship, learn and pray— And witnesses surround us, a host of saints above, As we continue sharing the joy of your great love.

Bigger Barns

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #18 (2009) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: "Bigger barns are what I need" Lyrics: “Bigger barns are what I need,” so a rich man said one day. “From my worries I’ll be free when my wealth is stored away.” “Fool!” God said, “Today you’ll die!” Will that wealth mean anything? All life’s blessings really lie in the gifts that wealth can’t bring. “Bigger barns are what we need for our money, gadgets, more!” Lord, we’re tempted to believe having wealth, we’ll be secure! Somewhere children cry for food or to have a doctor’s care. Can our bigger barns be good when poor neighbors know despair? God of love, we long to know what will make us truly blest. Jesus taught us long ago wealth won’t give us peace or rest. You are our security! Safe in you, we serve, O Lord. May we find we’re rich indeed when we’re sharing with the poor.

God, How Can We Comprehend?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #70 (2009) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: God, how can we comprehend-- Lyrics: God, how can we comprehend— Though we've seen them times before— Lines of people without end Fleeing danger, want, and war? They seek safety anywhere, Hoping for a welcome hand! Can we know the pain they bear? Help us, Lord, to understand! You put music in their souls; Now they struggle to survive. You gave each one gifts and goals; Now they flee to stay alive. God of outcasts, may we see How you value everyone, For each homeless refugee Is your daughter or your son. Lord, your loving knows no bounds; You have conquered death for all. May we hear beyond our towns To our distant neighbors' call. Spirit, may our love increase; May we reach to all your earth, Till your whole world lives in peace; Till we see each person's worth.
