When Mary Poured a Rich Perfume

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #25b (2009) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette First Line: When Mary poured a rich perfume ;on Jesus' weary feet Lyrics: When Mary poured a rich perfume on Jesus’ weary feet, Her caring filled that humble room; the fragrance there was sweet. But full of anger, Judas said, “We could have used this more! Why was her gift not sold instead, and given to the poor?” The Lord replied, “Leave her alone! She bought it for this day. This caring love that she has shown is faithful to God’s way. The poor will always be with you, but you will not have me.” He blessed her and he thanked her, too, for giving lavishly. O Christ, what can your people bring to show you thanks and love? You need no fragrant offering; for now you reign above. Since there will never cease to be the poor throughout the land, May we, your church, serve faithfully by offering them our hand.

Jesus Sat and Watched the Crowd

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #26 (2009) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Person Name: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Lyrics: Jesus sat and watched the crowd At the temple treasury. Some that day were rich and proud, Making sure that all could see Their great generosity. Then a widow came along Who had nothing she could spare. Yet her faith in God was strong And she gave as few would dare: All she had, she chose to share. Just a penny, nothing more, Yet Christ said her gift was best. What a risk, for one so poor! What rich faith her gift expressed! Trusting, giving, she was blest. Lord, you see the way we live; All within our hearts, you know. Like that widow, may we give. Trusting you, our gifts will grow And our joy will overflow. Topics: Jesus Christ Ministry; Stewardship Scripture: Luke 21:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: HENDON

Listen, sisters! Listen, Brothers!

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #30 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Person Name: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Lyrics: Listen, sisters! Listen, brothers! To the news that we proclaim; Spread the word and tell your neighbors: We have life in Jesus’ name. All because God loves us dearly, Jesus died for all our sin. On the third day, God showed clearly: Love has conquered, death can’t win. What could be our proclamation If our Lord had not been raised, For without his resurrection, What could give hope to our days? But in fact, our Christ is living— First to live, of those who’ve died; For as all are lost through Adam, So in Christ, we’re made alive. What is sown will surely perish; What is raised will still endure. What is sown is sown in weakness; What is raised will die no more. Flesh and blood cannot inherit That great kingdom God will bring. God will change us—never fear it! Death, defeated, has no sting. Topics: Funeral/Witness to the Resurrection; Life in Christ Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING

Lyrics: We hear, Lord, your promise: “My grace is sufficient!” Those few simple words brought such comfort to Paul; And though every thorn in the flesh may be different We find in your message good news for us all. Your strength is made perfect in times of our weakness, When hardships assail us and pain comes along. For you dwell within us and we learn your goodness— And when we are weakest, in you we are strong. Through all that we suffer, your grace is a blessing; O Christ, you are with us to carry us through. What hope you still offer when life is distressing! You heal and forgive us, so we turn to you. When pain is so great that we hardly can bear it, We call on your name and we hear your love’s song; You send us the comfort and peace of your Spirit, And when we are weakest, in you we are strong.

No Longer

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: SOGN2009 #33 (2009) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Person Name: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette First Line: No longer Jew or Greek, no longer slave or free-- Lyrics: No longer Jew or Greek, no longer slave or free— In you, O Christ, we’re given wondrous unity. Here in your church we learn that nothing can divide; Here men and women, called by God, serve side by side. No longer in your church should there be rich or poor— You taught us kingdom values worth our struggling for. Here some have wealth to give, and some, great faith to share. The life we live together is an answered prayer. No longer left or right, defending our own case— O God, we’re sinners in your sight, in need of grace. The common bond we know is Christ who sets us free; In Christ we live and love and grow in unity. O God, we look around and know (each one) our guilt; By your own Spirit, now break down the walls we’ve built. When we were all baptized, we died to our old ways; A church diverse, yet one in Christ, we give you praise. Topics: Christian unity; Justice Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI
