JOHNNY APPLESEED

Snippet

Oh, the Lord's been good to me.

And so I thank the Lord

For giving me the things I need:

The sun, the rain and the apple seed;

Oh, the Lord's been good to me.

Oh, and every seed I sow

Will grow into a tree.

And someday there'll be apples there

For everyone in the world to share.

Oh, the Lord is good to me.

Oh, here I am 'neath the blue, blue sky

Doing as I please.

Singing with my feathered friends

Humming with the bees.

I wake up every day,

As happy as can be,

Because I know that with His care

My apple trees, they will still be there.

The Lord's been good to me.

Scripture

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the

counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the [a]path of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by 

streams of water,

Which yields its fruit in its season

And its [c]leaf does not wither;

And [d]in whatever he does, he prospers. 

Psalms 1:1-3 NASB

Johnny Appleseed

Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed

He might pass by in the hour of need

There's a lot of souls

Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory

Hey - look there goes

Hey - look there goes

If you're after getting the honey - hey

Then you don't go killing all the bees

Lord, there goes Martin Luther King

Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring

I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying

*Is what was true now no longer so

Hey - I hear what you're saying

Hey - I hear what he's saying

If you're after getting the honey - hey

Then you don't go killing all the bees

What the people are saying

And we know every road - go, go

What the people are saying

There ain't no berries on the trees

Let the summertime sun

Fall on the apple - fall on the apple

Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine

Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line

We think there is a soul, we don't know

That soul is hard to find

Hey - down along the road

Hey - down along the road

If you're after getting the honey

Then you don't go killing all the bees

Hey - it's what the people are saying

It's what the people are saying

Hey - there ain't no berries on the trees

Hey - that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees

You're checking out the honey, baby

You had to go killin' all the bees

Sentence Prayer

God of seed and growth and harvest,

Creator of need, Creator of satisfaction;

Give us, we pray, our daily bread,

Sufficient and assured for all.

Give us also, we pray, the bread of life,

And we shall have a care to feed the hungry,

And to seek peace and justice in the world.

Help us, then, to remember and to know

That you are our life today and every day;

You are the food we need, now and forever. Amen
