Disciples’ Generous Response
Poem: 617 Can We Calculate Our Giving
Can we calculate our giving,
placing limits on our praise
when the blessings we are given
multiply and grace our days?
Let us share from life’s abundance.
God provides enough to spare—
shaken down and pressed together,
overflowing everywhere.
Great or small the treasure offered,
each is equal in your sight;
fragrance poured from alabaster
valued as a widow’s mite.
Bless our giving and receiving.
Each of us can do our part—
giving for the sake of giving,
flowing from a gen’rous heart.
God’s community is living
far beyond our walls of faith.
Every tithe that serves creation
will be valued in its place.
Be it home or global mission,
any cause that strengthens worth
will be honored in our giving
as a blessing for God’s earth.

* H Y M N S *
23 I Danced in the Morning
I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
and I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth.
At Bethlehem I had my birth.
Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
and I’ll lead you all wherever you may be,
and I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said he.
I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,
but they would not dance and they would not follow me;
I danced for the fishermen, for James and John;
they came with me and the Dance went on.
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame;
the holy people said it was a shame;
they whipped and they stripped and they hung me on high;
and they left me there on a cross to die.
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black;
it’s hard to dance with the devil on your back.
They buried my body and they thought I’d gone,
but I am the Dance and I still go on.
They cut me down and I leapt up high;
I am the Life that’ll never, never die;
I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me;
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
198 By the Babylonian Rivers
By the Babylonian rivers
we sat down in grief and wept;
hung our harps upon a willow,
mourned for Zion while we slept.
There our captors, in derision,
did require of us a song;
so we sat with staring vision
and the days were hard and long.
How shall we sing the Lord’s song in
a strange and bitter land;
can our voices veil the sorrow?
Lord God, hear your lonely band.
Let your cross be benediction
for those bound in tyranny;
by the pow’r of resurrection
loose them from captivity.
54 IDIAY CRUS
(At The Cross)
Mannubbotco nagsagaba,
Diay cruz nailansa,
Nabalangatan ulona
Siit a nadamca.
Coro:
Idiay cruz, idiay cruz,
Natay ti mannubbotco,
Ket nabang-aran dagsen toy puso,
Gaput’ pammati adda balligi,
Ket biagco itan ti simmudi.
Gapu iti basbasolco,
Nagtu-oc ni Cristo,
Di matucod ti ayatna,
Cadagiti tao.
Diac cucua itan ti biagco,
Ta cucua ni Cristo,
Isu ti nangted ti subbot,
Diay cruz ti Calvario.
Diac macabayad ayatna,
Diay cruz inawitna,
Itdek biagco ken cararua,
Pagsubad ayatna.
