SPARROWS

SNIPPET

OUR LIFE IS A FAINT TRACING ON THE SURFACE OF MYSTERY.   (Dillard, Annie. Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. New York: Harper & Row, 1985. Print. pg 145.)

Scripture

Even the sparrow has found a home,

    and the swallow a nest for herself,

    where she may have her young—

a place near your altar,

    Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Psalms 84:3

You can't add a single day by worrying

You'll worry your life away

Oh don't worry your life away

You can't change a single thing by freaking out

It's just gonna close you in

Oh don't let the trouble win

You may feel alone

But you're not on your own

(chorus)

(Lalala) if He can hold the world He can hold this moment

(Lalala) not a field nor flower escapes His notice

Oh even the sparrow

Knows He holds tomorrow

Lean in and it's hard to miss

Everything can change

When you make it His

Oh He wants to carry it

Carefree in the care of God

When you let it go

You'll find that He's enough

Oh you never leave His love

You don't walk alone

(chorus)

(Lalala) if He can hold the world He can hold this moment

(Lalala) not a field nor flower escapes His notice

Oh even the sparrow

Knows He holds tomorrow

There's not a single star that's out of place

There's nothing broken He can't remake

If you long for hope when you're afraid

Oh look at the sparrow

Look at the sparrow

(chorus)

(Lalala) if He can hold the world He can hold this moment

(Lalala) not a field nor flower escapes His notice

Oh even the sparrow

Knows He holds tomorrow

(Lalala) even the sparrow knows

He holds tomorrow

FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI If We're Honest

Truth is harder than a lie

The dark seems safer than the light

And everyone has a heart that loves to hide

I'm a mess and so are you

We've built walls nobody can get through

Yeah, it may be hard, but the best thing we could ever do, ever do

[Chorus:]

Bring your brokenness, and I'll bring mine

'Cause love can heal what hurt divides

And mercy's waiting on the other side

If we're honest

If we're honest

Don't pretend to be something that you're not

Living life afraid of getting caught

There is freedom found when we lay 

our secrets down at the cross, at the cross

[Chorus]

It would change our lives

It would set us free

It's what we need to be

[Chorus]

Sentence Prayer

I confess to almighty God,

and to you, my brothers and sisters,

that I have sinned through my own fault,

in my thoughts and in my words,

in what I have done,

and in what I’ve failed to do;

and I ask you, my brothers and sisters,

 To pray for me to the Lord our God

Rebuke me, O Lord, but not in your anger, lest I come to nothing.

Lord, have mercy.  Christ, have mercy.  Lord, have mercy.  Amen
