7. nor wise ones; you only asked me
for wealthy
nor wise ones; you only asked me
to follow humbly.

8. Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore (Refrain)
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me, and while smiling have spoken my name;

9. now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me; by your side I will seek other seas.

10. Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore (2)
2. You know so well my possessions; my boat carries no gold and no weapons; you will find there my nets and labor.

11. Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore (Refrain)
O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me, and while smiling have spoken my name;

12. now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me; by your side I will seek other seas.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me, and while smiling have spoken my name;

15. now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me; by your side I will seek other seas.

16. Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore (4)
4. You, who have fished other oceans, ever longed for by souls who are waiting, my loving friend, as thus you call me.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me, and while smiling have spoken my name;

18. now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me; by your side I will seek other seas.

22. Sweet Hour of Prayer (Verse 1)
Come and Find
the Quiet Center
TFWS
2128
Come and find the quiet center in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed:

23. 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.

24. 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,

25. making space within our thinking, lifting shades to show the sun,
raising courage when we’re shrinking, finding scope for faith begun

26. Sweet Hour of Prayer (Verse 2)
In the Spirit let us travel,
open to each other’s pain,
let our loves and fears unravel, celebrate the space we gain:

27. in the Spirits lively scheming there is always room to spare.
There’s a place for deepest dreaming, there’s a time for heart to care,
in the Spirits lively scheming there is always room to spare.

30. Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass
against us.

31. but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,
And lead us not
into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever.
Amen.

32. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
Glory Be to the Father WORDS: Lesser Doxology, 3rd-4th cent. 70
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

33. as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

34. Scripture Reading
Mark 1:16-20
 16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.
