Take a moment to prepare your heart for worship… People may excite in themselves a glow of compassion, not by toasting their feet at the fire, and saying: "Lord, teach me compassion," but by going and seeking an object that requires compassion. Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation. — Henry Ward Beecher The Lord told Noah: there's gonna be a floody, floody The Lord told Noah: there's gonna be a floody, floody Get those children out of the muddy, muddy, children of the Lord The Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky The Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky Build it out of gopher barky, barky, children of the Lord The animals, they came in, they came in by twosie, twosies The animals, they came in, they came in by twosie, twosies Elephants and kangaroosie, roosies, children of the Lord So, rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory Rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory Rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory Children of the Lord

Hymn 39
An invitation to silent prayer
“God Moves in a Mysterious Way”
God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm.
You fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds you so much dread are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head.
ST. ANNE
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace; beneath a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Music © 2010 Celebrating Grace, Inc.
