When the Church of Jesus
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: James 2:14-17 First Line: When the church of Jesus shuts its outer door Lyrics: 1
When the church of Jesus shuts its outer door,
lest the roar of traffic drown the voice of prayer,
may our prayers, Lord, make us ten times more aware
that the world we banish is our Christian care.
2
If our hearts are lifted where devotion soars
high above this hungry, suffering world of ours,
lest our hymns should drug us to forget its needs,
forge our Christian worship into Christian deeds.
3
Lest the gifts we offer—money, talents, time—
serve to salve our conscience, to our secret shame,
Lord, reprove, inspire us by the way you give;
teach us, risen Savior, how true Christians live.

Come and find the quiet centre
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: James 2:14-17 Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet centre
in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed:
clear the chaos and the clutter,
clear our eyes, that we can see
all the things that really matter,
be at peace, and simply be.
2 Silence is a friend who claims us,
cools the heat and slows the pace;
God it is who speaks and names us,
knows our being, touches base,
making space within our thinking,
lifting shades to show the sun,
raising courage when we're shrinking,
finding scope for faith begun.
3 In the Spirit let us travel,
open to each other's pain;
let our loves and fears unravel,
celebrate the space we gain:
there's a place for deepest dreaming,
there's a time for heart to care;
in the Spirit's lively scheming
there is always room to spare! Topics: The Church Celebrates Wholeness and Healing; Encouragement; Freedom and Liberation Used With Tune: LEWIS FOLK MELODY

Or we'll walk by his side in the way;
What he says we will do,
Where he sends we will go;

siempre habremos de ser,
y tendremos de Cristo el poder.

pues lo cuida su amante Señor. [Estribillo]

nunca habréis de alcanzar,
si rendidos no vais a su altar,

sólo son para aquel
que a sus leyes divinas es fiel. [Estribillo]

¡cómo brilla la luz
en la senda al andar con Jesús!
Su promesa de estar
con los suyos es fiel,
si obedecen y esperan en él. [Estribillo]

God is a Spirit, just and wise
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: James 2:14-26 Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise
He sees our inmost mind;
In vain to heaven we raise our cries,
And leave our souls behind.
2 Nothing but truth before his throne
With honor can appear;
The painted hypocrites are known
Through the disguise they wear.
3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies,
Their bended knees the ground;
But God abhors the sacrifice
Where not the heart is found.
4 Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways,
And make my soul sincere;
Then shall I stand before thy face,
And find acceptance there. Topics: Attributes of God Spirituality; God is a Spirit

Give us a heart to follow Thee,
Obedient to Thy Word!
