Our God, You Called to Moses

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Exodus 3, 4:1-17 First Line: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free Lyrics: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free. What wrongly some suppose is: He answered easily. “I’m not the one you’re seeking!” he seemed instead to say. “My strength is not in speaking; God, find another way!” And yet, O Lord, you told him to trust in what you said. Your strength would surely hold him through every day ahead. Though many would oppose him, by your own name he’d know: You were the one who chose him to help your people go. You call each congregation to serve the lost and poor. We doubt our own vocation; we ask, “Lord, are you sure?” Yet you give gifts for sharing, you show us what to say. Your Spirit gives us daring to serve Christ every day. Topics: Call/Vocation Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

God, bless the ones who boldly dare to let the scriptures be their guide; Yet may no one of us declare that you are always on our side. God, bless the ones who teach and learn, who seek the truth by which to live; Yet show us: Knowledge cannot earn the love that only you can give. God, bless the ones who daily lead your churches, cities, nations, too; Yet may these leaders humbly see their need to serve and follow you. In Christ we daily live and grow; your Spirit guides us by your grace. A mirrored image now we know; yet one day we’ll see face to face. Topics: Life in Christ; Worship Used With Tune: TALLIS' CANON
