SILVER FORK
I Will Not Always Walk This Earth
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 I will not always walk this earth
with gentle step and caring heart,
but now I pray, prepare, and give
to lasting good and living art.
2 My back is strong. My mind is sound.
Today I lift and carry on,
but future generations wake
to worship in an unknown dawn.
3 What can I do with what I have
to help the church in years ahead?
What gift can I now place in trust
for future needs for home or bread?
4 For children's children yet to come
like flowers living life's brief span,
I give this church a lasting gift,
a pledge, a promise, and a plan.
5 So come with me, come as you are
to celebrate this time on earth,
to sing with hope of future years,
to trust the Spirit for new birth. Topics: Aging; Stewardship Scripture: Psalm 23:1 Used With Tune: SILVER FORK

Believers, Make a Joyful Noise
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Believers, make a joyful noise.
Stand firm on Christ, our saving rock;
above the waves, God-given poise
will help you weather every shock.
2 Earth's canyon depths and soaring skies,
to you, Creator God, belong.
For you our sun and moon arise
and planets sing their silent song.
3 Earth's canyon depths and highest peaks
you formed by whispered thought alone.
Black holes and underwater peaks,
and entities as yet unknown.
4 To you we lift our hands in praise.
To you we worship and bow down.
We dance or shuffle, leap or limp,
your heart's delight our treasured crown.
5 We are like sheep, not gone astray,
but led and guarded by your hand.
So let us now, without delay,
proclaim your love to every land. Topics: Praise Scripture: Psalm 95:1-7 Used With Tune: SILVER FORK
