You Raise Me Up

When I am down, Oh my soul, So weary

When troubles come And my heart burdened be

Then, I am still and wait Here in the silence, Until you come and sit Awhile with me.

Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be

And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me Whisper words of wisdom, Let it be

Let it be, Let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, Let it be

And when the broken hearted people Living in the world agree There will be an answer, Let it be

But though they may be parted There is still a chance That they may see There will be an answer, Let it be

Let it be, Let it be

There will be an answer, Let it be

Let it be, Let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, Let it be

And when the night is cloudy There is still a light That shines on me Shine upon tomorrow Let it be

Scripture Mark 1: 4-11 Genesis 1: 1-5 Acts 19: 1-7 Scripture Taken from the Holy Bible Today’s New International Version

Mark 1: 4-11 John the Baptist Prepares the Way 4And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 6John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

Mark 1: 4-11 The Baptism and Testing of Jesus 9At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

Joys & Concerns

The Lord’s Prayer 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. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen

Just A Closer Walk With Thee

Just a closer walk with Thee; Grant it Jesus is my plea. Daily walking close to Thee; Let it be, dear Lord, Let it be.

I am weak but thou art strong; Jesus keep me from all wrong. I’ll be satisfied as long As I walk, Let me walk close to Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee; Grant it Jesus is my plea. Daily walking close to Thee; Let it be, dear Lord, Let it be.

Through this world Of toils and snares, If I falter Lord who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, Dear Lord, none but Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee; Grant it Jesus is my plea. Daily walking close to Thee; Let it be, dear Lord, Let it be.

When my feeble life is o’er Time for me shall be no more. Guide me gently, safely o’er To Thy Kingdom shore, To Thy shore.

Just a closer walk with Thee; Grant it Jesus is my plea. Daily walking close to Thee; Let it be, dear Lord, Let it be.
