Jesus, you have come to the lakeshore

looking neither for wealthy nor wise ones;

you only asked me to follow humbly.

O Jesus,

with your eyes you have searched me,

and while smiling, have spoken my name;

now my boat's left

on the shoreline behind me;

by your side I will seek other seas.

You know so well my possessions;

my boat carries no gold and no weapons;

you will find there my nets and labour.

O Jesus,

with your eyes you have searched me,

and while smiling, have spoken my name;

now my boat's left

on the shoreline behind me;

by your side I will seek other seas.

You need my hands, full of caring

through my labours to give others rest,

and constant love that keeps on loving.

O Jesus,

with your eyes you have searched me,

and while smiling, have spoken my name;

now my boat's left

on the shoreline behind me;

by your side I will seek other seas.

You, who have fished other oceans,

ever longed for by souls who are waiting,

my loving friend, as thus you call me.

O Jesus,

with your eyes you have searched me,

and while smiling, have spoken my name;

now my boat's left

on the shoreline behind me;

by your side I will seek other seas.

Light

Over my head, I hear music in the air.

Over my head, I hear music in the air.

Over my head, I hear music in the air.

There must be a God somewhere.Reproduced with permission under One License #A-712934 / LicenSing C15082 Copyright Cleared Music for

(CHOIR ONLY)

Jesus saw them fishing by the shore of Galilee,

casting out their nets into the sea.

Simon, Peter, Andrew and the sons of Zebedee,

waiting in their boats so patiently.

(CHOIR ONLY)And Jesus said,

“Oh, come and follow me.

Oh, leave behind your nets. I call you.

Oh, come and fish with me,

And your life will never be the same again.”

(EVERYONE)

Jesus saw them fishing by the shore of Galilee,

casting out their nets into the sea.

Simon, Peter, Andrew and the sons of Zebedee,

waiting in their boats so patiently.

And Jesus said,

“Oh, come and follow me.

Oh, leave behind your nets. I call you.

Oh, come and fish with me,

And your life will never be the same again.”

Rich young person came to Jesus

looking for advice.

“How can I obtain eternal life?”

Jesus told him,

“Honour the commandments of the Lord.

Then sell off all your riches for the poor.”

And Jesus said,

“Oh, come and follow me.

Oh, leave behind your nets. I call you.

Oh, come and fish with me,

And your life will never be the same again.”

“If you want to follow me,

deny your very self.

Take up your cross and walk the walk with me.

This might seem a hardship,

an impossibility,

But nothing is impossible with God.”

And Jesus said,

“Oh, come and follow me.

Oh, leave behind your nets. I call you.

Oh, come and fish with me,

And your life will never be the same again.”

The prayer that Jesus taught…

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done

on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive

those who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial

and deliver us from evil

for the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours,

now and forever. Amen

Musical Reflection:Are You a Shepherd?

Are you a shepherd,

good shepherd who leads us

safely through danger,

while calming our fears?

Are you a father who shelters and feeds us,

shares in our laughter and wipes away tears?

Yes, you are shepherd, parent and teacher,

but you are greater than all that we know.

Holy and living, loving and giving,

God, you are with us wherever we go.

Are you a mother,

good mother who bears us,

comforts, protects us and helps us to rest?

Are you a teacher who daily prepares us,

challenging students to offer their best?

Yes, you are shepherd, parent and teacher,

but you are greater than all that we know.

Holy and living, loving and giving,

God, you are with us wherever we go.

Great, gentle shepherd, forever beside us,

lead all you children in paths that are right.

Great, loving parent,

wise teacher, you guide us.

We want to love you and bring you delight.

Yes, you are shepherd, parent and teacher,

but you are greater than all that we know.

Holy and living, loving and giving,

God, you are with us wherever we go.

Sung Response: A New Day is Dawning

There’s a new day, a new day is dawning

There’s a new way, a new way to see.

There’s a new time arriving

An’ it’s born from our striving for this new way

A new way to be!

Happy Birthday!
