GRIEF

Snippet

Do not hurry as you walk with grief; it does not help the journey.  

Walk slowly, pausing often: do not hurry as you walk with grief. 

Be not disturbed by memories that come unbidden. Swiftly 

forgive; and let Christ speak for you unspoken words. Unfinished 

conversation will be resolved in Him.  Be not disturbed.  Be gentle 

with the one who walks with grief.  If it is you, be gentle with 

yourself.  Swiftly forgive; walk slowly, pausing often.  Take time, 

be gentle as you walk with grief.”  (Andy Raine of Northumbria Community Common Prayer a Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals.471 Zondervan Grand Rapids MI 2010)

Scripture

It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the 

house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living 

will lay it to his heart.  Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the 

sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of 

the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in 

the house of mirth. Ecclesiastes 7 :2-4 KJV

(Ready For Home [2x])

Uh yeah

I wish that I could find a way

To hit fast forward just to get through this maze

And to see that day when I'm finally headed home

Forget that feeling and being lost and on the roam

Yeah, I know

I've been out of whack

But, I know

You know how to bring me back

'Cause

Even when I slip and fall

You always got my back through the thick of it all, yeah

Walkin' these circles got me comin' unglued

Gave you my heart and then I stole it from you

My weary head is swimmin' straight for your shore

I feel a calling

From the one I adore

Ready for Home

(So won't you take me there)

Ready for Home

(Out of this atmosphere)

I'm runnin' into your arms

I'm steppin' out of the cold

Ready for Home

I'm Ready for Home

I remember that very day

I said I would be different, that I'd always find a way

To let you know you'd always be the one

I kept my eyes on, but that's not what I've done

'Cause you know

I try to play my part

And you know

I always come up short

I know

I should be forever in debt

But that's something that you said you'd always choose to forget 

Walkin' these circles got me comin' unglued

Gave you my heart and then I stole it from you

My weary head is swimmin' straight for your shore

I feel a calling

From the one I adore

Ready for Home

(So won't you take me there)

Ready for Home

(Out of this atmosphere)

I'm runnin' into your arms

I'm steppin' out of the cold

Ready for Home

So if you're

Leavin' with us, sing it out loud

Livin' it right, there ain't no doubt

If you're with us, sing it out loud

We're following the light, yeah

[2x]

(Ready For Home [2x])

(Out of this atmosphere)

I'm runnin' into your arms

I'm steppin' out of the cold

Livin' it right, there ain't no doubt

If you're with us, sing it out loud

We're following the light, yeah

Sentence Prayer

Lord, as the seasons turn, creation teaches us of grief, patience, 

and renewal.  Make us good students of these rhythms that we 

might not hurry the work of grief but revive the gift of your 

presence in our time of need. (Community Common Prayer a 

Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals.471 Zondervan Grand Rapids MI 

2010)  Just as the death of winter is inevitable, so is the new life 

of spring.  Amen

ONES & ZEROS

Scripture

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only 

in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to

ONES & ZERO’S STELLAR KART

http://youtu.be/WuiSL1plXLg

Ashes to ashes, we all fall down

Dust to dust, scattered on the ground

Living in the shadows

Where fear can’t fight

A hope of redemption

None left behind

A voice for those who can’t say a word

To the ears of those who never have heard

It’s the sound that echoes through the night

We are the ones

We are the ones and zeros

The beautiful incomplete

We are the ones

We are the future heroes

A colorful symphony

We are the ones

The dawn or the twilight

It’s all the same

Clear eyes at midnight

We’re all to blame

Chosen for freedom with undue worth

Standing for something that can’t be earned

A voice for those who can’t say a word

To the ears of those who never have heard

It’s the sound that echoes through the night

Sentence Prayer

Jesus; you are the One -the giver of life.  We are the Zero’s you 

have chosen to send life through.  May we always work on our 

relationship with you, so Your love may shine as a bright star 

through us, to those lost in the dark.  Amen

LIFE

Snippet

Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life 

is to enjoy it. Samuel Butler 

Scripture

The angel of the Lord encamps

 around those who fear him, and delivers them.

 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!

 Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,

  for those who fear him have no lack! Psalms 34:8,9 ESV

Fine Fine Life King & Country

http://youtu.be/Nw4J006jh0I

Love is on a side of the highway

With his thumb in the sky

Worry's flying in the fast lane

In a suit and tie

The sun is crashing in the ocean

And you just can't help yourself but wonder how we all forget

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

Every day I find

It's a fine fine life

I fell asleep in a casino

You should've seen her face

Feels like I'm stuck in a movie

That was never made

Jesus stranded with a flat tire

And He's grinning ear to ear and whispering these words under His breath

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

Every day I find

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

Yeah I put a step in your bones

You're never alone

Cash or coal,

Heart or soul

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

Every day I find

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

Every day I find

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

It's a fine fine life

Fine fine life

It's your life

Sentence Prayer

Lord,

Thank you for my life,

For without my life

I could never enjoy my family and my friends

Thank you for my family and friends

For without my family and friends

I could never enjoy happiness.

Thank you for my happiness,

For without my happiness, I could never enjoy a smile.

Thank you for a smile.

For without a smile I could never enjoy life.

Amen

EDGE

I realize that I live on the bubble of insanity. I 

feel the weight of human suffering, loneliness 

and despair on me all the time. It's not 

getting easier; if anything, it's always right on 

the edge of my skin.

Edge of My Life MANAFEST

http://youtu.be/njy1TSxaHqw

[Verse 1:]

Last dollar just got spent

First of the month comes

Got to pay rent

Where'd the money go

Slipping through my hands

I'm working with these hands

Little Johnny needs a lunch box

Little Susy needs clothes & it won't stop

Banks calling us up

And they don't care

It's more then I can bare

[Pre-Chorus x2:]

I gotta, gotta believe

I can more then survive

Still one trick up my sleeve

We're gonna make this one shine

[Chorus:]

I... I'm at the edge of my life

I got no time to think twice

When I'm standing with the weight

Of the world on my shoulders

I... I'm gonna fight the good fight

Cause i, I know I'll get by

When I battle every day through the pain

Like a soldier

[Verse 2:]

Mom crying on the sofa

Dad comes home but he's not sober

Where'd the family go

Up in smoke again

Feels just like sinking sand

Heard shouts in the backyard (hey)

Sirens ringing from a cop car

It's a rough day

For this family man

I'm praying with these hands

[Pre-Chorus x2:]

I gotta, gotta believe

I can more then survive

Still one trick up my sleeve

We're gonna make this one shine

[Chorus:]

I... I'm at the edge of my life

I got no time to think twice

When I'm standing with the weight

Of the world on my shoulders

I... I'm gonna fight the good fight

Cause I, I know I'll get by

When I battle every day through the pain

Like a soldier

[Bridge:]

Just don't look down

And you'll never fall

[Chorus:]

I gotta, gotta believe

I can more then survive

Still one trick up my sleeve

We're gonna make this one shine

I gotta, gotta believe

I can more then survive

Still one trick up my sleeve

Sentence Prayer

Father;

The edge of life is fraying;

only you can hold us together.

Help me to cling you,

no matter how life tries to rip

me from you. Amen

HOLD ME JESUS

Snippet

“I grew up hearing everyone tell me 'God loves you'. I would say 

big deal, God loves everybody. That don't make me special! That 

just proves that God ain't got no taste. And, I don't think He 

does. Thank God! Because He takes the junk of our lives and 

makes the most beautiful art.” ― Rich Mullins, Rich Mullins: Home

Scripture

You will keep in perfect peace

    those whose minds are steadfast,

 Trust in the Lord forever,

Hold Me Jesus By Rich Mullins

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gBGGX3yvMo

Well, sometimes my life just don't make sense at all 

When the mountains look so big 

And my faith just seems so small 

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf 

You have been King of my glory 

Won't You be my Prince of Peace 

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark 

It's so hot inside my soul 

I swear there must be blisters on my heart 

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf 

You have been King of my glory 

Won't You be my Prince of Peace 

Surrender don't come natural to me 

I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want 

Than to take what You give that I need 

And I've beat my head against so many walls 

Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees 

And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn 

And Your grace rings out so deep 

It makes my resistance seem so thin 

I'm singing hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf 

You have been King of my glory 

Won't You be my Prince of Peace 

You have been King of my glory 

Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Sentence Prayer

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Sweetest name on heaven and earth

I just thought I thought I had it figured out

I just thought life was back to normal

Now the rug is pulled out

I am flat on my face in front of you

I can only say Hold me Jesus

And help me. Amen

OVERCOMER

Snippet

No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and 

the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely 

section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just come 

out the other side. Or you don't.” ― Stephen King, The Stand

Scripture

I am writing to you, fathers,

    because you know him who is from the beginning.

I am writing to you, young people,

    because you have conquered the evil one.

 I write to you, children,

    because you know the Father.

I write to you, fathers,

    because you know him who is from the beginning.

I write to you, young people,

    because you are strong

    and the word of God abides in you,

        and you have overcome the evil one. 1 John 2:13-15 NRSV

Overcomer Mandissa

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z29olPjFbqg

Staring at a stop sign

Watching people drive by

T Mac on the radio

Got so much on your mind

Nothing's really going right

Looking for a ray of hope

Whatever it is you may be going through

I know He's not gonna let it get the best of you

You're an overcomer

Stay in the fight ‘til the final round

You're not going under

‘Cause God is holding you right now

You might be down for a moment

Feeling like it's hopeless

That's when He reminds You

That you're an overcomer

You're an overcomer

Everybody's been down

Hit the bottom, hit the ground

Oh, you're not alone

Just take a breath, don't forget

Hang on to His promises

He wants You to know

The same Man, the Great I am

The one who overcame death

Is living inside of You

So just hold tight, fix your eyes

On the one who holds your life

There's nothing He can't do

He's telling You

Sentence Prayer

Father,

Giver of the present, hope for the future:

Save us from the time of trial.

When prophets warn us of doom,

Of catastrophe and of suffering beyond belief.

Then, God free us from our helplessness,

And deliver us from evil.

Save us from our arrogance and folly,

For you are God who created the world;

You have redeemed us and you are our salvation.

Amen (A New Zealand Prayer Book, the Anglican Church in New Zealand and Polynesia pg 137)
