Opening Song: Psalm 70 (O God, Make Haste) by Brian SauvéLyrics:Make haste, O GodDeliver meO Lord, make hasteTo succor me Confound them allAnd put to shameThe ones who, reckless, Seek my soul Let them be turnedBack in disgrace Who revel in my suffering Let them be turned Back in their shame Who laugh and taunt me in my pain O God, may thoseWho seek be glad Rejoicing and well pleased in TheeMay they who Thy salvation love Say evermore, O God, be praised O God, be praisedGod be praised Quick hasten unto me, O GodThou art my help, O Lord, my God Deliverer, do not delayDo not delayPassage: For the choir director. Of David. To bring remembrance.1 God, hurry to rescue me. LORD, hurry to help me!2 Let those who seek to kill me be disgraced and confounded; let those who wish me harm be turned back and humiliated.3 Let those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation continually say, “God is great!”5 I am oppressed and needy; hurry to me, God. You are my help and my deliverer; LORD, do not delay.(Psalm Musical Reflection: O Lord, Hear My Prayer by Jacques BerthierReflection Notes: Another song from the Taizé community, this one contains a series of pleas: “O Lord, hear my prayer, O Lord, hear my prayer; when I call, answer me.” The repeated notes emphasize the insistence of the sung prayer, while the descending lines indicate a deep, almost despairing desire to connect. 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
