Lord you give us so much. You give us shelter and our daily bread. You give us families and
friends. You give us hope, love and faith, you give us yourself. You meet us,right where
we are, it might be in prison; it might be in the judges’ chamber. It might be on the
streets. It might be in a cathedral. It might be a store front. You meet us and you give.
So what we have, we give to you, like the widow who gave all she had, we know we can’t
beat your giving. We have enough and we give to you in Jesus’ name . Amen
CLOSING HYMN: “Zion is Calling Me”
Zion is calling me to a higher place of praise. To stand upon the mountain and to magnify His name. To tell all the people of every nation that He reigns. Zion is calling me to a higher place of praise.
BENEDICTION:
Now unto Jesus, born in poverty , called an “Illegitimate child “ of an unmarried woman,
who rose up to redeem the world. To him who brings good news in bad situations and
great joy despite incriminations . To Jesus, our Savior , be glory in the heavens,
Justice in our cities, honor in our homes, and peace in our streets, now and
Forevermore. Amen ( Joseph W Daniels Jr. )
