Listen and hear, O
Israel,
The Lord our God is one.
To us what does this
scripture tell?
What word is to be done?
Love God with our heart,
soul and strength,
Likewise love our
neighbor.
This is the height and
breadth and length,
Of our holy labor.
This is the law above all
laws,
The one we must obey.
No matter other’s sins or
flaws,
Love everyone today.
Forgive and love yourself
also,
For God has so loved you.
God sent Jesus that you
might know,
As Christ loved, you can
too.
When I Have Nothing to Say
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/4/2024
When I have nothing to
say,
And find no words to
speak,
Still to the Lord I can
pray,
The Lord's will, I will
seek.
When I can't speak, I can
hear,
God's word I can perceive.
Deep down in my inner
ear,
God's guidance I receive.
Down by the Sea
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/4/2024
Down by the sea I wait to
see,
If I might catch some
fish.
Jesus comes walking up to
me,
Beyond my wildest wish.
My friends over in the
next boat,
Are tending to their nets.
They hear the invitation
quote,
And come with no regrets.
Listen, friends, to what
Jesus asks,
Then let go and follow.
Taking up a disciple’s
tasks,
Where Jesus leads just
go.
Desire God
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/7/2024
Desire God first and
foremost,
Enter into God's Kingdom.
Following Christ on the
journey,
To a glorious outcome.
Doesn't matter from where
you start,
Focus on the final goal.
Faithfully focus on
Jesus,
And the Lord will bless
your soul.
Just let go of all
distractions,
Causing you to lose your
way.
As disciples, follow
Jesus,
Step by step and day by
day.
Helping others upon the
path,
With a kind and loving
word,
That the future
generations,
Join in following the
Lord.
Faithfully We’ll Follow Jesus
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/11/2024
Faithfully we will follow
Jesus,
As disciples on the way.
We will go where he will
lead us,
Doing what we hear him
say.
In the midst of
tribulations,
And the pains this world
can give.
We will go to all the
nations,
That people might truly
live.
We await the day of
glory,
When the Lord in heaven
will meet.
An account of our life's
story,
We will lay at Jesus’
feet.
Jacob Had a Dream
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/13/2024
(Tune: Rock-a-bye Baby)
Jacob had a dream
sleeping one night,
He saw a stairway. Oh, what
a sight!
Angels were walking
upstairs and down,
On up to heaven and down
to the ground.
Without a pillow he lay
instead,
Upon a hard rock under
his head.
He heard God speak that
he would be blessed,
The Lord was with him
while he took his rest.
Then in the morning when
he arose,
He raised the rock, so
the story goes.
With faith in God he went
on his way,
And God was with him each
and every day.
Holy God We Come before You
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/15/2024
Holy God, we come before
you,
Lifting to you songs of
praise.
Guide us in all that we
might do,
To serve you in faithful
ways.
Strengthen us now with
your power.
Fill us with your divine
grace.
Bless us in this sacred
hour,
As we worship in this
place.
Send us forth to go to
serve you,
To become your hands and
feet.
Show us what all we might
do to,
Share your love with all
we meet.
We are pilgrims on a
journey,
As we go from here to
there.
In your name may we truly
be,
Faithful servants
everywhere.
Giving Is a Gift of God
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/17/2024
Giving is a gift of God,
Bestowed upon each of us.
That we might learn so to
give,
By the greatest gift – Jesus!
In all we say and do,
We show faith's vitality.
May the Lord be greatly
praised,
By our generosity.
We have received God's
blessing,
For Jesus paid it
forward.
Gratefully we pass it on,
That God's gift journeys
onward.

Upon the Lord I Watch and Wait
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/24/2024
Upon
the Lord I watch and wait.
Both
day and night I meditate.
I'm
blessed by God's amazing grace,
And
feel the Lord's loving embrace.
When
in my times of deepest need,
Upon
the Lord I come and plead.
Of
all my prayers – every one,
I
pray that God's will, will be done.
The
Lord is watching over me,
And
all these years my every plea.
Answers
might be a yes or no,
But
I’ve been heard - of this I know.
Lord, You Are Always There
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/27/2024
In times of pain and
grief,
When we are in despair,
The Lord's presence
brings us relief.
Lord, you are always
there.
When we are at our worst,
We come to you in prayer.
For your grace we hunger
and thirst.
Lord, you are always
there.
Lord, you are all we need.
With us your mercy share.
When we have sinned in
Word and deed,
Lord, you are always
there.
My Faith’s Journey Began
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/28/2024
My faith’s journey began,
When the Lord called my
name,
And now I do all that I
can,
That others hear the same.
Throughout the days and
years,
I've followed faithfully.
In times of both laughter
and tears,
God's always walked with
me.
I will serve the risen
Lord,
With all my heart and
soul.
Eternity, I look toward.
Heaven's my final goal.
In the Lord We Believe
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/30/2024
In the Lord we believe,
For Jesus is the Way.
Through Christ’s
forgiveness we receive,
In Jesus’ name we pray.
We come before the Lord.
We worship God with
praise.
God almighty will be
adored,
Forever and always.
Come, Jesus, call to us.
Disciples we shall be.
We’ll faithfully follow
Jesus,
For all eternity.
Jeffrey B. Childs 9/30/2024
(Tune:
Are You Sleeping)
Are
you burning, are you burning,
Little
bush, little bush?
Draw
us closer with a, draw us closer with a,
Holy
push, holy push.
Are
you speaking, are you speaking,
Holy
God, holy God?
We
are standing upon, we are standing upon,
Holy
ground, holy ground.
We
are listening, we are listening,
To
your word, to your word.
Help
us that we might do, help us that we might do,
What
we've heard, what we've heard.
