Lyrics:
God has a dream for us,
that Jesus is revealing,
a world of love, made whole, set free,
a world of justice and healing.
Dream, Jesus dream in us.
May we dream like you.
Dream, Jesus, dream in us.
May your dream come true.
Dream, Jesus in us, we pray,
and may our dreaming be waking.
May your dream be our guide, our way,
to join in the world you are making.
Dream, Jesus dream in us.
May we dream like you.
Dream, Jesus, dream in us.
May your dream come true.

He would have been 95 on Monday.He would have stirred us more, pressed us more.And we still would have resisted.Or he might have been killed another day.Still, we have to decide. Maybe he nudged us these last 56 yearsno less than when he was alive,because love and justice don’t die,the dream doesn’t disappear,the march doesn’t… Continue reading Thinking about Martin

Lyrics:
Help me be gentle, and help me be true.
Pure Lamb of God, help me be more like you,
living by prayer, meeting evil with good,
letting you lead me to live as I should.
Help me be peaceful and fill me with love,
meeting with courage what I’m fearful of,
face with a calm heart all anger and fear,
and like you, Love, hold my enemies dear.
Help me be healing and set people free.
Help me to love them as you have loved me,
tenderly bless them, as your human hands,
bringing your justice and peace to all lands.

Lyrics:
Christ, you are the Bread of Life, who gives us strength and nourishes.
Here we feast on love and beauty, here your people flourishes.
In our sharing you are present, in our feast you enter in,
we become your Body, risen: we your servants, we your friends.
As you bless the bread and break it, as you give it out to share,
we are broken, blessed, and given, sharing blessing everywhere.
May we be the yeast of justice; may we be the grain of love;
that your children all be fed, that grace and mercy all may have.
