SONG

Martina McBride - In My Daughter's Eyes lyrics

https://youtu.be/HxPnAOMpbqA

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero

I am strong and wise and I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see

She was sent to rescue me

I see who I wanna be

In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal

Darkness turns to light and the

world is at peace

This miracle God gave to me gives me

strength when I am weak

I find reason to believe 

In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand

around my finger

Oh it puts a smile in my heart

Everything becomes a little clearer

I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart

has had enough

It's giving more when you feel like giving up

I've seen the light

It's in my daugter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future

A reflection of who I am and what will be

Though she'll grow and someday leave

Maybe raise a family

When I'm gone I hope you see how happy

she made me

For I'll be there

In my daughter's eyes

SENTENCE PRAYERS

Father; I pray that I will have a clear vision of what You wish to 

accomplish in my family, so that I may guide my family with purpose. 

Amen

OPPRESSION

Snippet

It is often easier to become outraged by injustice half a world away 

than by oppression and discrimination half a block from home. 

Carl T. Rowan

Scripture

Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking 

place under the sun:

I saw the tears of the oppressed—

    and they have no comforter;

power was on the side of their oppressors—

    and they have no comforter.

And I declared that the dead,

    who had already died,

are happier than the living,

    who are still alive.

But better than both

is the one who has never been born,

who has not seen the evil

that is done under the sun. Ecclesiasties: 4:1-3

Sixteen Tons By Tennessee Ernie Ford

https://youtu.be/E5VMZqgVzRo

Some people say a man is made outta mud

A poor man's made outta muscle and blood

Muscle and blood and skin and bones

A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine

I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal

And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain

Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion

Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside

A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died

One fist of iron, the other of steel

If the right one don't a-get you

Then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do you get

Another day older and deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the company store

Sentence Prayer

Dear God,

I surrender my financial affairs and concerns about money to your 

Divine care and love.

I ask that you remove my worries, anxieties, and fears about money, 

and replace them with faith.

I know and trust that my debts will be paid and money 

will flow into my life.

I have only to look to nature to see proof of the 

abundance you provide.

I release all negative thoughts about money, and know that 

prosperity is my true state.

I commit to being grateful for all that I now have in my life.

I learn to manage my finances wisely, seeking help where needed.

And finally, I ask you to help me understand 

my purpose in life and to act on that purpose with 

courage and strength. I know that prosperity will come, 

in part, by doing work I love. Please help me use 

my skills and knowledge to be of service in the world.

Thank you, God.

Amen
