Scripture

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:25-26 NIV

It don’t have a job, don’t pay your bills
Won’t buy you a home in Beverly Hills
Won’t fix your life in five easy steps
Ain’t the law of the land or the government?
But it’s all you need
And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I’ll be my brother’s keeper
So the whole world would know that we’re not alone
It’s waiting for you knocking at your door
In the moment of truth when your heart hits the floor
And you’re on your knees
And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I’ll be my brother’s keeper
So the whole world would know that we’re not alone
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life
‘Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life
‘Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright
Love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I’ll be my brother’s keeper
So the whole world would know that we’re not alone

Sentence Prayer

My Brother's Keeper Prayer
Lord…
When I have food, Help me remember the hungry.
When I lie in my bed, Help me remember those who
sleep on the floor.
When I have a warm home, Help me remember the
homeless.
When I have work, Help me remember those
without jobs.
When I experience the joy of giving to my children,
Help me remember the agony of those who must watch
their children go without.
By remembering, Help me destroy my indifference and
arouse my compassion.
Make me concerned enough to act in your name, to
help those who cry out to you
for that which I so often take for granted. Amen
