SING TO THE MOUNTAINS, Bob Dufford, SJ

Refrain:

Sing to the mountains, sing to the sea.

Raise your voices, lift your hearts.

This is the day the Lord has made.

Let all the earth REJOICE!

V1:  I will give thanks to you, my Lord.

You have answered my plea.

You have saved my soul from death. 

You are me strength and my song.

V2:  Holy, holy, holy Lord,

Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

V3:  This is the day that the Lord has made.

Let us be glad and rejoice.

Now all death has turned to life.

Sing to the glory of God.

PSALM 145

SCRIPTURE READING

Acts 13:26-33

SHARED REFLECTION

…to us this word (LOGOS) of salvation has been sent.

         How do I witness?  In what ways does that witness “save”?

...sabbath after sabbath

         What has become so routine in me that I fail to see its power to create or destroy?

…”You are my child; this day I have begotten you.”

         Oops I think I forget that…daily;)

INTERCESSORY PRAYER

Response: We pray Lord…make all things new.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

MAGNIFICAT

My soul doth glory in your love ,O Lord.

My soul doth glory in your love, O Lord.
For you gazed on your servant with compassion,

And you reached out and took me by the hand.

Great are you God, and holy is your name,

Your mercy reaches to the end of time

Ah the lowly you raise to the heavens

And the proud-hearted have no part with you.

Ah, how you fill the hungry with your love

With empty hands the rich are sent away

You will always be mindful of your mercy

As you promised your people long ago.

My soul doth glory in your love ,O Lord.

My soul doth glory in your love, O Lord.
For you smiled on your servant with compassion,

And you reached out and took me by the hand.

Let us give glory to our loving God

And to his Son

Our loving savior Lord

To the Spirit who from them both proceeding

From now till all ages end AMEN

May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life.

         AMEN

PEACE & HUGS;)
