WATER

Snippet

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... 

even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. Leonardo da 

Vinci

Scripture

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty 

again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never 

thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring 

of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13,14

Something In The Water 

 Carrie Underwood

http://youtu.be/mH9kYn4L8TI

He said, "I've been where you've been before.

Down every hallway's a slamming door.

No way out, no one to come and save me.

Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me.

Then somebody said what I'm saying to you,

Opened my eyes and told me the truth."

They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better."

So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must've been something in the water

Oh, there must've been something in the water

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way

Didn't think about it for a couple of days

Then it hit me like a lightning late one night

I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn't fight back the tears so I fell on my knees

Saying, "God, if you're there come and rescue me."

Felt love pouring down from above

Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water

Oh, there must be something in the water

And now I'm singing along to amazing grace

Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face

Got joy in my heart, angels on my side

Thank God almighty, I saw the light

Gonna look ahead, no turning back

Live every day, give it all that I have

Trust in someone bigger than me

Ever since the day that I believed I am changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water (amazing grace)

Oh, there must be something in the water (how sweet the sound)

Oh, there must be something in the water (that saved a wretch)

Oh, there must be something in the water (like me)

Oh, yeah

I am changed (I once was lost)

Stronger (but now I'm found)

(was blind but now I see)

Sentence Prayer

Thank you, Lord, for the endless ways your reveal yourself to us.  

We are so quick to separate heaven from earth, but you shine 

forth in all things created by your hand.  Teach us that to delight 

in the beauty of the earth is another way of praising you.  Amen!

(Common Prayer A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals Nov 13)

WASHED

“God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you 

that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus. ” ― Max Lucado

Scripture

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one 

another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one 

another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Washed Over Me 

by All Things New

http://youtu.be/YtRjpccC0G8

The sun is rising on a new day

My soul's alive cause my sins you cast away

Down by the river, I was redeemed

When your love washed over me

When your love washed over me

My chains were broken, my debt was paid

I traded dirty rags for riches in your name

And in that moment, my soul could sing

When your love washed over me

Like water, you poured out

And grace covered me

When your love, oh your love

When your love washed over me

My search is over, I've found my home

My cup is overflowed, with you I thirst no more

There on the river I found the victory

When your love washed over me

Like water, you poured out

And grace covered me

When your love, oh your love

When your love washed over me

When your love, when your love

When your love washed over me

When your love, oh your love

When your love washed over me

Like water, you poured out

And grace covered me

When your love, oh your love

When your love washed over me

When your love washed over me

Yea yea, you washed over me

Sentence Prayer

Thank you, God, that each morning your provide a new 

opportunity for us to follow. you.  We offer you the best of what 

we have, what already belongs to you.  Let your tender mercies 

come to us that we might live.  Amen (Common Prayer A Liturgy

WALKIN

The universe is not short on wake-up calls.  We’re just to quick to 

hit the snooze button.  Brene Brown Gifts of Imperfection preface

There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to 

death. Proverbs 14:12

Ty Ali - WALKIN 

http://youtu.be/TXE0SXPIoiU

Sentence Prayer

Heavenly Father;

Our sinful pride insists our walk is a path of 

freedom and life.  But we are deadmen walkin 

without Your Son Jesus.  Holy Spirit train us to 

walk in the paths of righteousness!  Amen R.M.

FEARLESS

Snippet

The SEALs were also circumspect about death in a way that only 

those confronted with it regularly can be.

“I either want to die in combat, doing my job right now, or live till 

I’m 98 years old and see my great, great grand kids,” one of 

them told me. “I don’t want anything in between. None of us do. 

A warrior’s death, you can’t get any higher than that. It’s horrible 

for the family, they don’t want to hear that, but for us, the guys 

at our command, we’re okay with it. That is our duty, the highest 

calling. And if that happens to you, you hope you are in the right 

frame of mind that you are okay with it. I have seen a lot of 

people go, not well. Had they been able to do another take on it, 

they would probably want it to go better. I remember everything 

else about Adam also, but I will always remember the end. You 

know, your first impression lasts a relationship, and your last 

impression is with you forever. Adam died well.”

Scripture

The Lord is my light and my salvation—

    

so why should I be afraid?

The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,

so why should I tremble?

When evil people come to devour me,

    

when my enemies and foes attack me,

    

they will stumble and fall.

Though a mighty army surrounds me,

    

my heart will not be afraid.

Even if I am attacked,

    

I will remain confident. Psalms 27:1-3 NLT

Fearless Mark Dowdy

http://youtu.be/QgGtKWCVy0M

Little boy, head full of dreams

Growing up, always trying to find his wings 

Mom and Dad, standing by

Ready to catch him whenever he tried

Life was good, life was sweet

Turn the page, more man than boy

Never thought he’d make that kind of choice His mother’s heart 

would break in two

She said...that’s not the boy that I knew

Life was full of regret

But deep inside him, he could not forget

Chorus

Be brave - Stand tall

Believe you’ll get stronger whenever you fall

And each time life brings you pain

Keep faith - Rise up

Above that voice that keeps calling your name in the dark Walk 

on, you’re not alone

You can live fearless

Second chance, his hope renewed

Now he’s fighting for the red, white and blue 

His wife and kids by his side

He’s a picture of American pride

Life was good, so complete

He said...I’m so glad love never gave up on me

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

He left a letter to his children It said I’m not afraid to die

No one can take away my spirit Even if they take my life

Sentence Prayer

Father;

You gave your Son, to give me a righteous path.

You give Your Spirt, to keep me in step

Yea, though I walk through the valley of death

may I always be fearless, because your are my Light and 

Salvation.  Amen  R.M.

VETERANS DAY

Snippet

Caring for veterans shouldn't be a partisan issue. It should an 

American one.  Jennifer Granhom

Scripture

Teach me how to live, O Lord.

Lead me along the right path,

for my enemies are waiting for me.

Do not let me fall into their hands.

For they accuse me of things I’ve never done;

with every breath they threaten me with violence.

Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness

while I am here in the land of the living.

Wait patiently for the Lord.

Be brave and courageous.

Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalms 27:11-14 NLT

Song

Someone Sleeps BY REZ BAND

http://youtu.be/PhKuqwsRxjA

Yellow moon rise, and the shadows are so long,

Comes as no surprise; I hear another night song,

And the echoes in those hills: a random rhythm the silence fills.

And someone deals in pain,

Someone deals in power,

And someone sleeps tonight.

Someone deals in pain,

Someone deals in power,

And someone sleeps tonight.

Ragged children left to play, fear, then hear the sound,

Run, run, oh, run away, stumbling feet on dusty clay,

In the rockets glaring red a weeping mother hangs her head,

‘Cause someone sleeps tonight, forever.

And someone deals in pain,

Someone deals in power,

And someone sleeps tonight.

Someone deals in pain,

Someone deals in power,

And someone sleeps tonight. 

And in the flames inferno, consuming human flesh and soul,

Innocence becomes a stranger, despair-a burning coal,

An old man’s eyes are vacant, his calloused hand’s open still,

Children wander in the ruined streets where grief roams, never filled,

Sometimes at night they hear the wind of a past they cannot change, In 

the morning silence, tell me, what goodness will remain?

The bitter cup is filled once more; a bloody history paints this land,

They try to seal a tomb that’s empty while they build the cross again.

And someone deals in pain,

Someone deals in power,

And someone sleeps tonight.

Someone deals in pain,

Someone deals in power,

And someone sleeps tonight.

Forever, Forever,

Forever, Forever,

Forever. 

Sentence Prayer

What a mystery your will is, Lord!  I pray, I make my plans and 

executes my choices. . .and yet because You are my sovereign 

Lord, You determine the outcome.  What a great and wonderful 

source of confidence!  You determine my steps! You have my 

back, Lord!

Thank you for working even my mistakes into a profitable 

outcome.  Praise You for Your excellent wisdom!  Amen (One-

Minute Prayers for Men Harvest House Pub 2004 pg 198.)

“An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run 

with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.”  Emil Zatopek

Scripture

I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it 

made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, 

who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, 

don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an 

expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, 

where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and 

running, and I’m not turning back. Philippians 3:12-14

Eye On It

http://youtu.be/2pO16yMC19o

Eye on it, eye on it

Eye on it, eye on it

Eye on it

Eye on it

Eye on it, eye on it

I set my eyes to the west, walkin' away from it all

Reachin' for what lies ahead, I got my eye on it

I see my sweat hit the ground

I put my foot in the block

This is the race of my life

And I can't wait for this shot

'Cause I can feel the wind at my back

Chest is pumpin' like a heart attack

Feet are moving and my mind is locked

Pressin' on with everything I got

I got my eye on it

I got my eye on it

I got my eye on it

Eye on it

I got my eye on the prize, I got my eye on it

I got my eye on the prize, I got my eye on it

I got my eye on the prize, I got my eye on it

I got my eye on it, and I will not quit

I got a new passenger to help me navigate the way

So when my heart hits the floor I can recalibrate

I feel the deeper callin' me, all else is fadin' in the past

So let me run in the race that I know is built to last

'Cause I can feel the wind at my back

Chest is pumpin' like a heart attack

Feet are moving and my mind is locked

Pressing on I gotta take my shot

I got my eye on it

I got my eye on it

I got my eye on it

Eye on it

I got my eye on the prize, I got my eye on it

I got my eye on the prize, I got my eye on it

I got my eye on the prize, I got my eye on it

I got my eye on the prize and I will not quit

(I will not quit, eye on it

Eye on it, eye on it

Eye on it

Eye on it, will not quit

Eye on it)

Eye on it

I got my (Eye on it)

I got my (Eye on it)

I got my eye on the prize, I got my (Eye on it)

I got my eye on the prize and I will not quit

And I will not quit

CREED

SNIPPET

Where the Bible Speaks, we speak; where the Bible 

is silent, we are silent.

In essentials unity, in opinion diversity, in all things love.

Christians only, but not the only Christians.

No book but the Bible, no name but that of Christ.

SCRIPTURE

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: 

that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,  that he 

was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the 

Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the 

Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the 

brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still 

living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to 

James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me 

also, as to one abnormally born. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

I believe in God the Father

Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth

And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord

He was conceived by the Holy Spirit

Born of the virgin Mary

Suffered under Pontius Pilate

He was crucified and dead and buried

And I believe what I believe

Is what makes me what I am

I did not make it, no it is making me

It is the very truth of God

And not the invention of any man

I believe that He who suffers

Was crucified, buried, and dead

He descended into hell and

On the third day, rose again

He ascended into Heaven

Where He sits at God's mighty right hand

I believe that He's returning

To judge the quick and the dead

Of the sons of men

And I believe what I believe

Is what makes me what I am

I did not make it, no it is making me

It is the very truth of God

And not the invention of any man

I believe it, I believe it

I believe it

I believe it, I believe it

I believe in God the Father

Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth

And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord

I believe in the Holy Spirit

One Holy Church, the communion of Saints

The forgiveness of sin

I believe in the resurrection

I believe in a life that never ends

And I believe what I believe

Is what makes me what I am

I did not make it, no it is making me

I did not make it, no it is making me

I said, "I did not make it, no it is making me"

It is the very truth of God

And not the invention of any man
