Leftover People in Leftover Places
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #275 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Topics: Diversity Lyrics: 1 Leftover people in leftover places,
troubled, disabled, the needy and sad,
scavenging crumbs from society's plenty,
sick to the soul when their life has gone bad;
these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom
deemed to be worthy and called to the feast,
soup-kitchen people invited to banquet,
valued as greatly as royal and priest.
2 Leftover people, disposable people,
locked into prisons of drugs and despair,
poverty's children in poverty's spiral,
locked out of learning and earning their share;
these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom,
these are the Christ in their shabby disguise,
these are the least and the highly unlikely,
given a hope and new light in their eyes.
3 Here is God's testing of true Easter people,
spirited people with service to give,
taking to heart the compassion of Jesus,
feeling how others must struggle to live;
we are a part of God's upside-down kingdom,
we know the heart if the gospel's demand,
taking our part with the leftover people,
widening the space of the lines in the sand. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-45 Languages: English Tune Title: CONNECT

O Young and Fearless Prophet
Author: S. Ralph Harlow, 1885-1972 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #276 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Unity and Diversity Lyrics: 1 O young and fearless Prophet
of ancient Galilee:
your life is still a summons
to serve humanity,
to make our thoughts and actions
less prone to please the crowd,
to stand with humble courage
for truth with hearts unbowed.
2 O help us stand unswerving
against war's bloody way,
where hate and lust and falsehood
hold back your holy sway;
forbid false love of country,
that turns us from your call
who lifts above the nation
the neighborhood of all.
3 Create in us the splendor
that dawns when hearts are kind,
that knows not race nor station
as bound'ries of the mind;
that learns to value beauty,
in heart, or mind, or soul,
and longs to see God's children
as sacred, perfect, whole.
4 Stir up in us a protest
against unneeded wealth;
for some go starved and hungry
who plead for work and health.
Once more give us your challenge
above our noisy day,
and come to lead us forward
along your holy way.

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #289 (2007) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Diversity Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
As Christ accepted us;
Teach us as sister, brother,
Each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us
And bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted,
And meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,
As in our daily life
We struggle to be human
And search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
For all, not just for some,
To love them as we find them,
Or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us,
So that we may be moved
In living situations
To do the truth in love;
To practice Your acceptance
Until we know by heart
The table of forgiveness,
And laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters
With all who are in need,
Who hunger for acceptance,
For righteousness and bread,
We need new eyes for seeing,
New hands for holding on;
Renew us with Your Spirit,
Lord, free us, make us one! Scripture: Romans 12:10 Languages: English Tune Title: BECK
