Passage:
32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Song:
This is My Father’s World by Franklin Sheppard and Maltbie Babcock, sung here by Fernando Ortega
Lyrics:
This is my Father's world
And to my list'ning ears
All nature sings and 'round me rings
Music of the spheres
This is my Father's world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought
This is my Father's world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light the lily white
Declare their Maker's praise
This is my Father's world
He shines in all that's fair
In the rust'ling grass I hear Him pass
He speaks to me ev'rywhere
This is my Father's world
O let me ne'er forget
And though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the Ruler yet
And though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the Ruler yet
This is my Father's world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King let the heavens ring
God reigns let the earth be glad
The Lord is King let the heavens ring
God reigns let the earth be glad
The Lord is King let the heavens ring
The Lord is King let the heavens ring (3X)
God reigns
God reigns
God reigns
God reigns
Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
