Refreshed and Set Free
As lockdown eases, schools begin to reopen, next month we may be allowed to meet face to face – what will that
mean for us? One of the things John and I are valuing during this last couple of months is time spent in the bible
through these reflections as we carefully think about what God is saying to us through His word – we hope you are
too. This week’s reflection explores a psalm, a prophecy, and the early church; may God open our minds and hearts
to his word for today…..
The river of God is teeming with life, Up the mountain we love to go,
and all who touch it can be revived, to find the presence of the Lord.
And those who linger on this river’s shore Along the banks of the river we run -
will come back thirsting for more of the Lord. We dance with laughter, giving praise to the Son.
And all around the world the body waits expectantly, A body now prepared by God and ready for war,
the promise of the Father is now ready to fall. The prompting of the Spirit is our word of command.
The watchmen on the tower all exhort us to prepare, We rise, a might army, at the bidding of the Lord
and the Church responds – the devils see and fear for their time is at hand.
A people who will answer the call. And the children of the Lord hear our commission,
And this is not a phase that is passing, that we should love and serve our God as one.
It’s the start of an age that is to come; The Spirit won’t be hindered by division,
and where is the wise man and the scoffer? In the perfect work that Jesus has begun.
Before the face of Jesus they are dumb. My song will be the pen of a ready writer.
Let us pray together….. Dear Lord, we pray for all those caught up in protests against injustice – for violence to
cease; peace to be restored; justice to be established. We pray for those who are sick and for those who are
grieving, for those who care for them and those who serve our nation – especially for…..(add your own prayer). May
Your Kingdom Come and Your will be done – on earth as it is in heaven. May the glory be yours – Amen.

Let us sing together…. MP 1001 - Let everything that,
Chorus: Let everything that, everything that, everything that has breath praise the Lord, (Repeat)
Praise You in the morning, Praise You in the heavens,
Praise You in the evening, joining with the angels,
praise You when I’m young and when I’m old. Praising You for ever and a day.
Praise You when I’m laughing, Praise You on the earth now,
praise You when I’m grieving, joining with creation,
praise You every season of the soul. Calling all the nations to Your praise.
If we could see how much You’re worth, If they could see how much You’re worth,
You’re power, Your might, Your endless love, Your power, Your might, Your endless love,
then surely we would never cease to praise. Then surely they would never cease to praise.
Let us say the Grace together….
