Our Lord, You Were Sent

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 First Line: Our Lord, You were seent to a place wild and vast Lyrics: Our Lord, you were sent to a place wild and vast To ponder your mission, to pray and to fast; Then hungry and weary, you faced night and day The subtle temptations to turn from God’s way. How could it be wrong to want bread on the shelf? To seek, in one’s serving, to first serve one’s self? But by God’s own word you remained ever sure: It’s only in God that our lives are secure. How could it be wrong to step out and to dare, To prove with great drama the depths of God’s care? But you knew God’s word, true since all time began: It’s wrong to expect God to work by our plan. How could it be wrong to just once bow the knee, To shake hands with sin to achieve victory? Yet you made it clear that no matter the cost: Your path was obedience, your way was the cross. Our Lord, in your struggle you chose to obey; God’s word filled your heart and you trusted God’s way. Now risen, you save us from sins that destroy; You give us your Spirit, your peace and your joy.

Jesus, You Once Called Disciples

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 First Line: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you Lyrics: Jesus, you once called disciples, choosing twelve to follow you: Simon (also known as Peter), Andrew and Bartholomew, Philip, Thomas, James, and Matthew, Simon, Thaddaeus, John, and James– Then there was the one called Judas. These were your disciples' names. Women, too, were your disciples, sitting, learning, at your feet. Mary knew your word was precious, even more than food to eat. Martha trusted in your power when her brother Laz'rus died. Women shared your journey, Lord, and stayed when you were crucified. Lord, so many heard and followed, like the woman at the well. Meeting you, the living water, she sought others she could tell. Like the boy with loaves and fishes, like Zacchaeus in the tree, Many gladly heard your message; many shared your ministry. Jesus, still you call your people, "Come and follow me today!" Some, like Paul, feel sudden wonder; some are brought up in your way. Lord, no matter how we meet you, by your Spirit, make us new. May we know your living presence; may we daily follow you. Topics: Call/Vocation; Jesus Christ Ministry Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

O Lord, You Called Disciples

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 First Line: O Lord, you called disciples, proclaiming, "Come and see!" Lyrics: O Lord, you called disciples, proclaiming, “Come and see!” And so an invitation began your ministry. Then Andrew called his brother, and Peter came to you; More men and women followed, and little children, too. You met a busy woman out in the noon-day sun. You shared God’s love, you listened; you told all she had done. She called her friends and neighbors and brought them face to face With you, the living water, the bearer of God’s grace. O Christ, your invitation has reached from year to year! Through some who heard you calling, a church was founded here. As faithful people served you a century ago,* They soon invited others; your church began to grow. God, by your Holy Spirit, now send us in your name To serve the lost and outcast, the poor for whom you came. Through gifts of hope and healing, through loving ministry, May we reach out, inviting the world to “Come and see!” *Or “as faithful people served you so many years ago,” Topics: Call/Vocation; Jesus Christ Ministry Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE
