The Lord As our shepherd
Student Sunday | april 26, 2015
Welcome Guests If you are a first-time guest, please complete a guest card from a pew pocket or Friendship Register and drop it in the offering plate so that we may acknowledge your visit and get acquainted with you. We are glad you have joined us for worship today. ________________________ Meditation The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23 (KJV)

Heather Sorenson
Every heart without a home, every widow left alone, every soul that is distressed, there is rest. Every prayer that has no voice or the freedom to rejoice, from the darkness be released, there is peace. There is peace, there is rest, there is hope for the broken, there is help for the weak. There is peace, there is rest, and the arms of God will hold you all the way. Every sinner who’s confessed but in guilt is still oppressed by the sin that’s been erased, there is grace. When the father’s walked away, and the mother’s left to pray, when the child has been disowned, welcome home. Welcome home, welcome home. Your sins have been forgiven, your stains washed away. Welcome home, welcome home, and the arms of God will lead you all the way. Every soldier tired from war who’s been shaken to the core rise on strength that’s not your own, and come on home. Come on home, come on home, and the arms of God will guide you all the way. Every heart without a home, every widow left alone, rise on strength that’s not your own, and welcome home.
