Bring, O morn, thy music!
Night, thy starlit silence!
Oceans, laugh in rapture to the storm-winds coursing free!
Suns and planets chorus,
praise to all found holy.
Life was, and is, and evermore shall be.
Can we get inside this story,
Try to think as lepers thought?
Totally despised, rejected;
Life for them was worse than naught.
The ‘Sacred’ has so many names
By which we do adore
The mys’try of the universe,
The ever puzz’ling ‘More’.
In the brilliant sunshine, in the city street,
Hear the bright hosannas, hear the marching feet;
Look at Jesus; hear the story;
Probe the purpose of his life;
See the struggle and the glory,
All the conflict, all the strife.
Boundless love in all creation,
Source and pulse of human life,
Unseen hope of every nation,
Healer of disease and strife;
1. Without an overview of the Bible it is very easy to gain an erroneous impression of what the Bible is all about.
2. Look behind the words to the people.
1. Every tear is a womb which can birth new life.
2. Grief is the narrow passage through which we pass from death to life.
They’re carted off like cattle,
yet we’d refuse a bed
to those who flee from carnage
now drowned, or lost or dead?
Nothing lasts forever in the same form.

Each day can be a life time.
Time is the enemy only if we let it control our lives.
Time is redeemed by timeless moments.
Searching for the Christmas spirit –
Is it heard when angels sing?
Is it found in deeds of merit?
Is it heard when church bells ring?
Come and treasure Jesus’ memory;
All the beauty it can bring.
All of us have experienced mental or physical suffering at the hands of other people. But each of us has also brought suffering to others.

Birth is a miracle but not magic.

Miracles of human birthing –
We but stand in silent awe.
God in each and every earthling
Gives to life its sacred core.
Come and ponder all the mystery of new life that we adore
