When Jesus Invited Me
(tune: Toplady UMH 361)
Jeffrey B. Childs 6/2/21
When Jesus invited me,
To be in his family,
All the barriers he broke
down,
Red and yellow, black and
brown.
All are loved and
welcomed in,
Thanks to Jesus we are
all kin.
We have fathers and mothers,
And have sisters and
brothers.
I am yours and you are
mine.
We are all branches of
Christ’s vine.
We've been blessed with
all of these,
A forest of family trees.
Jesus’ love for you has
shown,
That you're never all
alone.
Christ is there ‘round
every bend;
Will be with you to the
end.
We are in Christ's family,
Now and for eternity.

Jesus

When I am feeling low,
Or unsure where to go,
When I'm lost this I know,

Jesus.
Jesus always sees me
through.
I will always turn to
Jesus.

say,

Jesus.
Silently to Christ I pray.

I will always turn to
Jesus.
I am never on my own.
I will always turn to
Jesus.

Because God Loves
(tune: Resurrection UMH 364)
Jeffrey B. Childs 6/4/21
God loved us so that God
created,

God loves us,
And sent Jesus that we
might learn likewise to love.
Refrain:
Because God loves we are
not forgotten.
Because God loves Jesus
was sent.
Because God loves our
sins are forgiven,
And now, eternal life is
ours because God loves.
There are those times
when we feel unloved.
We feel alone like no one
cares.
Then at our worst, the
Lord lifts us up,
And carries us and our
burdens, as love God shares.
Refrain:
We celebrate that we're
forgiven,
And by God's grace new
life is ours.
We live each day unto its
fullest.
Our inner strength’s
revealed because God’s love empowers.

When it is night I say, “Amen.”

When all the day with God
I share,
Every day is a daylong
prayer.
Every day is a daylong

No matter what happens
each day,

is the way.
Faithful disciple I'm
going to stay.
When there are high spots,
and when they’re low,
I know that Jesus helps

We Only See in Part (1 Samuel
16)
(tune: St. Michael UMH 372)
Jeffrey B. Childs 6/8/21
We only see in part,
Or so the prophet tells,
That, “The Lord sees into
the heart.”
That's where God's Spirit
dwells.
There is much more to us,
Then what will we see at
first.
This was shown to us by
Jesus,
In us he was immersed.
We see on the outside,
Just who has made the
grade.
But the Lord sees on the
inside,
And of what we are made.
Beauty is not skin deep,
Beauty’s below the skin.
But we must take more
than a peep,
To see God's gifts within.

Jesus Did Not Just Still
the Storm (Mark 4)
(tune: Beecher UMH 384)
Jeffrey B. Childs 6/16/21
Jesus did not just still
the storm,
It was just another test.
Things were faced in
whatever form,
Teaching was what he did
best.
When out upon a restless
sea,
Disciples’ hearts with
fear were filled.
While Jesus rested peacefully,
When he rose faith was
instilled.
There are times when we
are afraid,
We don't know what can be
done.
Trust God in whom all
things were made,
Put your whole faith in
the One.
Jesus can calm storms in
your life,
Experience shows that's
true.
When you're in turmoil or
strife,
Let Christ instill faith
in you.
In Our Lives Storms Will
Rise (Mark 4)
(tune: St. Michael UMH 388)
Jeffrey B. Childs 6/17/21
In our lives, storms will
rise,
We may react with fear.
Look for the Light in
those dark skies,
The Lord will there
appear.
Jesus was fast asleep,
He woke and saved the day.
“Peace, be still!” He said
to the deep,
He says it still today.
Whatever fear you face,
You're never all alone.
It is just the right time
and place,
For Christ’s light to be
shown.
At the end of your rope,
To Christ for help reach
out.
For you he'll instill
faith and hope,
Believe in Christ! Don't
doubt.
