We may choose to walk

Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: LUW1997 #33 (1997) Tune Title: BOLGATANGA First Line: We may choose to walk through this world alone Refrain First Line: Free to serve, we're free to serve Lyrics: 1 We may choose to walk through this world alone, seeking wealth or power, disdaining everyone. If some neighbors fall by the way or cry we may cross the road so that we pass them by. Refrain: Free to serve, we're free to serve, Christ has set us free to serve. Free to serve, we're free to serve, all in Christ are free to serve. 2 But that selfish choice leads to slavery, life is full of fear and light we cannot see. Christ has set us free, Christ has shown the way, loving, serving others brings us liberty. [Refrain] 3 Every neighbor see as a friend to love, every child in need should be a Christ to serve, for our unity in society is achieved by love, the love that sets us free.

Crowds followed Yesu

Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: LUW1997 #10 (1997) Tune Title: CHAKUDYA First Line: Crowds followed Yesu to the hills Lyrics: 1 Crowds followed Yesu to the hills, his deeds they did recall. At evening Yesu asked his friends, "How can we feed them all?" 2 "These loaves and fish are all we have, enough for just a few. So send them off to beg or buy, there's nothing we can do." 3 Bur Yesu so arranged the crowds that everyone took part. He shared with them God's way of love and opened every heart. 4 By miracle there was enough, the food for all was there, when Yesu bound them all as one, and taught them how to share. 5 We're all to blame that many starve and more are left to die. In Christ we're called to heal the world and hungry satisfy. 6 With Yesu's lead, we'll learn to share, and build our world anew. Its wealth and food will be for all, and not or just a few.
