God, How Can We Comprehend?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: God, how can we comprehend-- Lyrics: God, how can we comprehend— Though we've seen them times before— Lines of people without end Fleeing danger, want, and war? They seek safety anywhere, Hoping for a welcome hand! Can we know the pain they bear? Help us, Lord, to understand! You put music in their souls; Now they struggle to survive. You gave each one gifts and goals; Now they flee to stay alive. God of outcasts, may we see How you value everyone, For each homeless refugee Is your daughter or your son. Lord, your loving knows no bounds; You have conquered death for all. May we hear beyond our towns To our distant neighbors' call. Spirit, may our love increase; May we reach to all your earth, Till your whole world lives in peace; Till we see each person's worth.

Bigger Barns

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: "Bigger barns are what I need" Lyrics: “Bigger barns are what I need,” so a rich man said one day. “From my worries I’ll be free when my wealth is stored away.” “Fool!” God said, “Today you’ll die!” Will that wealth mean anything? All life’s blessings really lie in the gifts that wealth can’t bring. “Bigger barns are what we need for our money, gadgets, more!” Lord, we’re tempted to believe having wealth, we’ll be secure! Somewhere children cry for food or to have a doctor’s care. Can our bigger barns be good when poor neighbors know despair? God of love, we long to know what will make us truly blest. Jesus taught us long ago wealth won’t give us peace or rest. You are our security! Safe in you, we serve, O Lord. May we find we’re rich indeed when we’re sharing with the poor.

Lord, in this poor groveling soul Now Thy Spirit’s power exert, Now my unbelief control, Purify and calm my heart. 2 Master, at Thy feet I wait Thy reviving voice to hear: Raise me to my first estate, Show Thyself the Finisher, Perfect what Thou hast begun, And when all my griefs are past, And when all my work is done, Glorify my soul at last.

Jesus, Sailing On the Sea

Author: Alan Gaunt Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesus, sailing on the sea, through a storm on Galilee, on a cushion fast asleep, heedless of the raging deep: your disciples, full of dread, fearing they will soon be dead, shake you, crying in despair, "We are drowning! Don't you care?" 2 Soon, before the boat can spill, you are shouting, "Peace! Be still!" Now the wind and sea are calm, and the crew are safe from harm. You say, "Why are you afraid, why distraught and so dismayed? Is your trust in God so small; do you have no faith at all?" 3 Your disciples, filled with awe, say, "Who's known such things before? Who is this we've seen today, whom the wind and waves obey?" Lord, though we are frightened too by the harm the world can do, calm our fears when tempests rise; give us faith that never dies.
