Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929-2009 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Worth of All Persons 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
and 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: 1 John 4:16 Used With Tune: AURELIA

God made you beautiful,
gave you the wisdom and power you need;
speak in the stillness
all you are longing for;
live out your calling to love and to lead.

angry and terrified,
open the secrets your life has concealed;
though you are wounded,
know you are not to blame;
cry out your story till truth is revealed.

utter your cry aloud,
honor the wisdom God gave you at birth;
speak to your elders
till they have heard your voice;
sing out your vision of healing on earth. Scripture: Matthew 19:13-14 Used With Tune: TWILIGHT

We Meet as Friends at Table
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Worth of All Persons Lyrics: 1 We meet as friends at table,
to listen, and be heard,
united by the Spirit,
attentive to the Word.
Through prayer and conversation
we tune our varied views
to Christ, whose love has made us
the bearers of good news.
2 With food and drink for sharing
the table soon is spread.
The freedom meal of Jesus
is crowned with wine and bread,
and all, without exception,
may eat, and speak, and stay,
for this is Christ's own table
where none are turned away.
3 We share our lives and longings,
and when the meal is done
we pray as friends at table,
and promise to be one.
To Christ, and to each other,
we cheerfully belong:
apart, our hope is fruitless;
together, we are strong.
4 Fulfilled, and glad to follow
wherever Christ may lead,
we journey from the table
to love a world in need
with patience, truth, and kindness,
that justice may increase
and all may sit at table
in freedom, joy, and peace. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Used With Tune: MEAL OF LOVE
We Meet as Friends at Table
