We Are the Household That Gathers Round Jesus (The Household of God)
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 25:35 First Line: We are the household that gathers round Jesus Lyrics: 1 We are the household that gathers round Jesus,
sharing one table, one cup and one Light,
we are a family human and hurting,
changing and challenged to know what is right;
we are this family deeply divided,
struggling to service the Gospel's demands,
we are a household of quarrelsome children
each with a free-flying kite in our hands.
2 Yet we are part of God's dream for creation,
we who are learning forgiveness and grace,
lanterns of peace lighting pathways to justice,
giving the stranger a welcoming place;
let's be a household of care and compassion,
open to cultures and creeds not our own,
building a model all *people will witness,
seeing where winds of the Spirit have blown!
3 While there are children whose *food bowls are empty,
while there are prisons where innocents die,
while refugees swell the flood of the homeless,
while the earth shudders, and all creatures cry,
we are a people who hear and must answer,
healing and helping a new world to birth,
household of faith that is fed at one table,
sharing good news with the whole of the earth. Topics: Humanity

but their very bodies in a human hell,

Beside the Great Cathedrals
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Lyrics: 1 Beside the great cathedrals
we huddle in the rain,
or underneath the bridges
till busy folks complain.
We seek a little shelter,
a coin to buy some bread,
and Jesus waits here with us.
He shares our stony bed.
2 He sings on city sidewalks,
he sits on curbs alone,
he holds a sign and listens
for footsteps on the stone.
He sings down by the river,
a spiritual, a blues,
with mothers and with fathers
who pay no union dues.
3 Friend, have you seen him naked,
in prison, or in pain,
and have you seen him shivering
with us out in the rain?
Friend, have you seen him sleeping
outside cathedral doors,
and have you heard him singing
with those the world ignores?
4 Sit down with us and listen
to stories we can tell
of death and resurrection,
of heaven and of hell.
Then strive to love the beggars
who gather at your door,
and see in us our Savior,
the rabbi of the poor. Topics: Adversity; Hunger; Justice and Peace Used With Tune: CHARTRES STREET
