Opening Song: No Other God by Steph MacleodLyrics:No other God can judgeThe weight of sin that dwells in usAnd yet amid His graceHis blood declares my guilt erasedWhat is this loveThis ancient hopeYou come to meWith righteous robesClothing me in Your salvationNo other God I knowWould ever aim to bow so lowThat He would make a wayTo rise again in victoryWhat is this loveThis ancient hopeYou come to meWith righteous robesClothing me in Your salvationYou see my painYou hear my doubtsAnd in the placeYou fix Your crownAdorning me with Your salvationI lift my eyesMy head held highI know that I will fear no evilYou call my nameI rise againYour mercy bought my heart's revivalPassage: 16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,17 who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:18 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.20 The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people,21 the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.(Isaiah Musical Reflection:“Be Thou My Vision,” old Irish folk tuneReflection Notes: The hymn commonly known as “Be Thou My Vision” is set to the tune SLANE, which is an old Irish folk tune. It samples both major and minor tonalities, with a perfect balance between the two.Prayer:This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
