Music Sunday, May 21 - Love is Love is Love is Love is Love

What keeps us alive?
What allows us to endure?
It is the hope of loving, of being loved.
​
We weep when light does not reach our hearts.
We wither like fields if someone close does not rain their kindness upon us.
My soul has a purpose; it is to love.


​~Jake Runestad, 2015

Gathering

Where charity and love are,
God is there.
The love of Christ has gathered us together.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let us revere and love the living God.
And with a sincere heart may we love one another.
Amen

The Love of Children

Jesus loves the little children,
all the children of the world;
Every color shape and size,
they are precious in His eyes,
Jesus loves the little children
of the world.

Jesus Loves the Little Children

​Variations on ‘Jesus Loves Me’

Love for One Another

Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
​
1 John 4.7

Love Beyond Death

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
​
Romans 8.38-39


Set Me as a Seal
~ R. Clausen, 1989
The Sanctuary Choir
Vicky Thomas, director

Love in Action

Though I might prophesy in tongues both earthly and divine,
if love were not their very root I could not call them Thine.
A sounding gong, a cymbal's clash is all that they would be,
though mountains moved through power of faith, yet it would not be Thee.

The Gift of Charity
~ J. Rutter, 2011
The Sanctuary Choir and instruments
Vicky Thomas, director
Jim Ginn, soloist


Reflection: Do You Love Me?

Pastor Tim Phillips

​It doesn’t matter how young or old you are.  It doesn’t matter how rich or poor.  It doesn’t matter how pious or how much you struggle with the whole idea of God.
 
Each of you has this amazing power to say to someone as genuinely as you can and no matter how imperfectly it may be: “I love you.”
 
You know that power.  I hope to God you have experienced that power that can change your life and change another person’s life and can change the world.
 
You have that power.

Our Love of Christ

More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee;
This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

More Love to Thee
~ arr. J. Joubert, 2002
