Opening Song: Sooner Count the Stars by Doug Plank, Steve Cook, and Vikki CookLyrics:I could sooner count the starsThan number all Your waysThough I only know in partThat part exceeds all praiseAs sunlight fills the skiesYour goodness fills my lifeFor all Your precious giftsReceive my gratefulnessI could sooner drink the seasThan fathom all Your loveLike a never ceasing streamAre mercies through Your SonThe death of Christ aloneDeserves eternal songFor such a love as HisReceive my gratefulnessNo praise is high enough no thanks is deep enoughNo life is long enough to tell of all You've doneNo shout is loud enough no words are strong enoughNo song is sweet enough to sing Your loveI could sooner turn back timeThan turn Your heart awayThough the years go fleeting byYour mercies never changeBefore You made the sunYour love was set on usFor all Your faithfulnessReceive my gratefulnessPassage: 9 The LORD your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. For the LORD will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers, 10 when you obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.11 “For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.(Deuteronomy Musical Reflection: Bless the Lord, My Soul by Jacques BerthierReflection Notes: A contribution to the Taizé tradition, this tune by Berthier provides a reverent foundation for the text: “Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless God’s holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life.” Prayer: Father, what we know not, teach us; what we have not, give us; what we are not, make us; for the sake of your Son our Savior. Amen. -Old Anglican Prayer
