MODULE 1

Looking through the Loving,

Merciful and Compassionate Heart

Your Look , O Lord

Lord Jesus, You are looking at me.
You magnetize me with your gaze
that calls my whole being to return to
you.
Your eyes mirror your holiness
and unconditional love for me.
With your gentle look, you let me
become more aware
Of my fearful and sinful nature,
proud outside but weak inside.

You never take your compassion

away
from me.
Like you, I want to become forgiving
and compassionate.
May I be able to lead others to take
notice
of your presence.
Your look, O Lord, give me the
grace,
give me the courage.
Give me the eyes that look to no

Luke 22:61-62
The Lord turned and looked at
Peter. Then Peter remembered
the word of the Lord, how he
had said to him, Before the
cock crows today,
you will deny me three times.
And he went out and wept
bitterly.

Tears of God
Carey Landry

I saw a woman with her children

near the shelter door,
hoping there would be more room.
Then I saw a million people,
poor and homeless round the world,
and I thought I saw a tear fall on
each one.

Chorus 1

I thought I saw the tears of God

I thought I saw the tears of God
I thought I saw the tears of God
falling like the rain.

I heard a young child crying,

and when I turned to comfort her,
I saw the look upon her face a hollow, frightened stare.
Then, I saw a million children,
cold and hungry, round the world,
and I thought I saw a tear fall upon
each one.

Chorus 2

I thought I saw the tears of God

I thought I saw the tears of God
I thought I saw the tears of God
falling like the rain.

Nation fighting nation;

hatreds settled with a gun.
neighbor fighting neighbor,
father against son.

Chorus 3:

Who will dry the tears of God?

Who will dry the tears of God?
Who will dry the tears of God
and help to heal the pain?

Blessed are the ones who suffer

persecution for justice sake,
Blessed are the sorrowing for they
shall be consoled.
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
they shall know the reign of God.
Blessed are the pure of heart,
they shall see their God.

Chorus 4:
Shall we dry the tears of God?
Shall we dry the tears of God?
Shall we dry the tears of God
and help to heal the pain?

Praise and Thanksgiving

(cf. 2 Chronicles 7:14-16)

Lord you said, I have heard your

prayer, and have chosen this place
for myself
as a house of sacrifice. I shut up the
heavens so that there is no rain, or
command the locust to devour the
land, or send pestilence among my
people. We praise you, Lord, and we
thank you.

If my people who are called by my

name humble themselves, pray,
seek my face, and turn from their
wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin and heal their
land.

We praise you, Lord, and we thank

you.
Now my eyes will be open and my
ears attentive to the prayer
that is made in this place.
For now I have chosen and
consecrated
this house so that my name
may be there forever;
my eyes and my heart will be there
for all time.
We praise you, Lord, and we thank
you.
