16. THE SONG OF RESPONSE #548 As the deer panteth for the water So my soul longs after You. You alone are my heart’s desire, And I long to worship You. You alone are my strength and shield; To you alone may my spirit yield. You alone are my heart’s desire, And I long to worship You.

17. (2) You’re my friend and You are my brother, So much more that anything. I love You more than any other, So much more than any thing. You alone are my strength and shield; To you alone may my spirit yield. You alone are my heart’s desire, And I long to worship You.

18. (3) I want You more than gold or silver, Only You can satisfy. You alone are my real joy giver, And the apple of my eye. You alone are my strength and shield; To you alone may my spirit yield. You alone are my heart’s desire, And I long to worship You.

20. A TIME OF SHARING WITH GOD’S CHILDREN OF ALL AGES

21. THE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE LUKE 8:40-56 (The words of Jesus) Read by Deacon Melinda Post Now when Jesus returned, (from across the Sea of Galilee), a crowd welcomed Him, for they were all expecting Him. Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with Jesus to come to his house because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way to the home of Jairus, the crowds almost crushed Him.

22. Now a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleed- ing stopped. “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at Jesus’ feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched Him and how she had been instantly healed. Then He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

23. While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.” Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus,“Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” When He arrived at the house of Jairus, He did not let anyone go in with Him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother. Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.” They laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

24. But He took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!” Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

25. ‘WITHOUT HIM I COULD DO NOTHING’ (1) Without Him I could do nothing; Without Him I’d surely fail; Without Him I would be drifting Like a ship without a sail Jesus, O Jesus, Do you know Him today Do not turn Him away. O Jesus, O Jesus! Without Him how lost I would be.

26. (2) Without Him I would be dying; Without Him I’d be enslaved. Without Him life would be hopeless; But with Jesus, thank God, I’m saved. Jesus, O Jesus, Do you know Him today Do not turn Him away. O Jesus, O Jesus! Without Him how lost I would be.
