Take My Gifts and Let Me Love You
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take my gifts and let me love You,
God who first of all loved me,
gave me light and food and shelter,
gave me life and set me free.
Now because Your love has touched me,
I have love to give away,
now the bread of love is rising,
loaves of love to multiply.
2 Take the fruit that I have gathered
from the tree Your Spirit sowed,
harvest of Your own compassion,
juice that makes the wine of God,
spiced with humor, laced with laughter--
flavor of the Jesus life,
tang of risk and new adventure,
taste and zest beyond belief.
3 Take whatever I can offer--
gifts that I have yet to find,
skills that I am slow to sharpen,
talents of the hand and mind,
things made beautiful for others
in the place where I must be:
take my gifts and let me love You,
God who first of all loved me. Topics: The Church on Mission Stewardship; Love for God; Stewardship; Thankfulness and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: MADILL

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows,
splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ, with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
we, like Peter, find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless. Topics: God the Son Epiphany; Jesus Christ-Transfiguration Scripture: Matthew 17:1-4 Used With Tune: WHISENHUNT

Tell Me the Story of Jesus
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 224 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus,
write on my heart every word;
tell me the story most precious,
sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels, in chorus,
sang as they welcomed His birth,
"Glory to God in the highest!
Peace and good tidings to earth."
Refrain:
Tell me the story of Jesus,
write on my heart every word;
tell me the story most precious,
sweetest that ever was heard.
2 Fasting alone in the desert,
tell of the days that are past;
how for our sins He was tempted,
yet was triumphant at last.
Tell of the years of His labor,
tell of the sorrow He bore;
He was despised and afflicted,
homeless, rejected, and poor. [Refrain]
3 Tell of the cross where they nailed Him,
writhing in anguish and pain;
tell of the grave where they laid Him,
tell how He liveth again.
Love in that story so tender,
clearer than ever I see:
stay, let me weep while you whisper,
love paid the ransom for me. [Refrain] Topics: The Church at Worship Proclamation; Jesus Christ-Life and Ministry; Proclamation Used With Tune: STORY OF JESUS
