Come Holy Spirit
Join us Holy Spirit as we come to God today
Bless us as we worship, and bless us as we pray
Help us hear the word for us
And strengthen us this day
Protect our minds and protect our hearts
You love will not depart
You’ve given us your shield of faith
To protect from fiery darts
Help us now to face our fears
And wipe away our tears
Thank you for the peace you give
Throughout the living years
Daniel Skognes
Sometimes He moves the mountain
And sometimes He moves me
Sometimes He calms the raging storm
And sometimes He calms me
Sometimes He shows me what to do
And sometimes He says, “Have faith.”
Sometimes He asks the impossible
And sometimes he says,”Wait.”
Sometimes He gives me obstacles
And sometimes the road is smooth
Sometimes He helps me win the game
And sometimes He lets me lose
Sometimes He gives the key to me
And sometimes He locks the door
Sometimes He says, “That is enough.”
Sometimes He says, “Give more.”
Sometimes I wonder where He is
And sometimes I feel alone
Sometimes I wonder if He cares
And sometimes I just moan
But God is there on the mountain top
He’s there in the valley too
He’s there when the waters overwhelm
He’s there when I’m feeling blue
He’s there when the evil one’s tempting me
He’s there when I‘ve fallen away
He’s there to hold me close to Him
He’s there both night and day
He’s there when I am questioning
He’s there when my faith is small
He’s there when I have given up
He’s there whenever I call
He’s there when darkness has me blind
He’s there to light my way
He’s there to love me no matter what
He IS there come what may
Shalom!

Fear no woman, and fear no man
Fear no object, and fear no plan
Fear no success, and fear no loss
Fear no burden, and fear no cross
Fear no evil, and fear no war
Fear not less, just fear no more
Fear only God but don’t be afraid
For in His image you and I were made
He made the sky, the earth, the seas
He made the animals, birds, and bees
He made for us to enjoy and tend
We do not own, God only lends
Fear no love, love conquers fear
God is love, to Him draw near
Fear no past or what’s to come
With God on your side, the victory’s won!
Shalom!

Who is the voice that cries out in the dark where nobody hears the words?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
The voice is crying out, begging, pleading, desperate to be heard.
Is anybody out there?
Does anybody care?
The voice cries out for justice and mercy, but the words cannot be heard.
For the mouth that could have spoken
Is now beneath the dirt.
The voices are many that go unheard
Unborn babies that cry to be heard
And those innocent people who were in the wrong place
Who is the voice of those crying?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
Will someone speak up and give lips to their words?
Or will they just vanish in the air?
Shalom!
Dan Skognes
