1 I walked today where Jesus walked In days of long ago I wandered down each path He knew With reverence step and slow Those little lanes they have not changed A sweet peace fills the air I walked today where Jesus walked And felt His presence there

2 My pathway led through Bethlehem Ah, memories ever sweet The little Hills of Galilee That knew those childish feet The Mount of Olives, hallowed scenes That Jesus knew before I saw the mighty Jordan roll As in the day yore

3 I knelt today where Jesus knelt Where all alone He prayed The Garden of Gethsemane My heart felt unafraid I picked my heavy burden up And with Him by my side I climbed the Hill of Calvary Where on the cross He died I walked today where Jesus walked And felt Him close to me

4 God is everlasting and in whom we live and move and have our being God has made us for Himself, so that our hearts are restless until they rest in Him. God gives us purity of heart and strength of purpose.

5 That no selfish passion may hinder us from knowing God’s will. God gives us His light so we may see light clearly, and in His service find perfect freedom. We come to worship the Triune God.

6 I Sing the Mighty Power of God I sing the mighty power of God That made the mountains rise; That spread the flowing seas abroad And built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at God’s command, And all the stars obey.

7 I sing the goodness of the Lord That filled the earth with food; God formed the creatures with a word And then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, Where’er I turn my eyes; If I survey the ground I tread, Or gaze upon the skies!

8 There’s not a plant or flower below But makes Thy glories known; And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from Thy throne; While all that borrows life from Thee Is ever in Thy care, And everywhere that we can be, Thou, God, art present there.

9 Prayer of Confession How can we live lives that are pleasing to You, O Lord? Our instincts are earthbound. The transitory delights of this life tantalize and tempt us. We fail so often to love You and our neighbors as much as we love ourselves.

10 Have mercy on us, O God. Help us to serve and love others in Your name. We ask for Your forgiveness and grace so we can walk within Your will and purpose and have the joy of knowing that we are pleasing You.

11 Assurance of Pardon Here the good news. God is good to one and all; everything He does is covered with grace. For wile we were yet sinning, Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us.

12 Therefore, anyone who is in Christ is His servant, washed by His Living Water, fed at His banquet table as a friend. Friends, believe the good news. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and set free to share God’s love and peace Amen.

13 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As It was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be. World without end, Amen. Amen.

14 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen

15 A Mind Transformed by the Word John 8:31-32

16 ‘It is a proven fact that many who read the Bible (through in 1 year), as if they were taking medicine or exercising on a schedule, do not advance spiritually. It is better in 1 year to have 10 good verses transferred into the substance of our lives than to have every word of the Bible flash before our eyes.’ Dallas Willard, Hearing God, p. 163

17 From : I sometimes let the Bible inform my understanding and choices. To : I passionately study the Bible, allowing it to shape the entirety of my understanding and choices.

18 In this business of living the Christian life, ranking high among the most neglected aspects is reading the Scriptures in order to live. Eugene Peterson, Eat This Book.

19 From : The Bible is something to be studied. To : The Bible is something to be breathed.

20 Daily Immersion Stop: Carve out a 15-20 minute period of time to sit in the presence of God every day. Mute : Hit the ‘off’ buttons and welcome silence into your life instead of background noise.

21 Pray: Surrender your heart and mind to the work of God’s Spirit, asking the Spirit to help you see the details of your life from God’s perspective. Read : Dig into the Bible a few paragraphs at a time.

22 Apply: daily put into practice at least one thing you have learned; meditate or chew on a word, a phrase or a verse.

23 Reading the Scriptures is integral to living the gospel. It means letting Another have a say in everything we are saying and doing. It is as easy as that. And as hard. Eugene Peterson

24 Words to live by Hebrews 13:6: The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

25 Joshua 1:9: Be strong and of good courage for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Hebrews 13:5b: Be content with what you have because God has said, never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.

26 Baby steps in discipleship Pray for the 40 days of Lent: children and youth ministries, Deacons, missions Memorize a meaningful Bible verse each week of Lent.

27 In remembrance of me, Eat this bread, In remembrance of me, Drink this wine, In remembrance of me, pray for the time when God’s own will is done, In remembrance of me, heal the sick In remembrance of me, feed the poor,

28 In remembrance of me, Open the door and let your brother in, let him in, Take, eat, and be comforted, Drink, and remember, too That this is my body And precious blood, shed for you, In remembrance of me Search for truth

29 In remembrance of me, Always love, In remembrance of me, Don’t look above, but in your heart, in your heart Look in your heart for God Do this in remembrance of me. Do this in remembrance of me.

30 Dear Lord and Father of Mankind Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our foolish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, In purer lives Thy service find, In deeper reverence, praise

31 In simple trust like theirs who heard, Beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word, Rise up and follow Thee.

32 O Sabbath rest by Galilee, O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee The silence of eternity, Interpreted by love!

33 Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace.

34 Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness and Thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm!

35 The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord lift His countenance up on you. And give you peace and give you peace The Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious, and be gracious, the Lord be gracious unto You. Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.
