O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee! I need thee ev’ry hour, stay thou nearby Temptations lose their pow’r when thou art nigh I need thee, O I need thee, ev’ry hour I need thee O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee!

Scripture: Genesis 16:7–15 The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. And he said, “Hagar, slave-girl of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am running away from my mistress Sarai.” The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit to her.” The angel of the Lord also said to her, “I will so greatly multiply your offspring that they cannot be counted for multitude.” And the angel of the Lord said to her, “Now you have conceived and shall bear a son; you shall call him Ishmael, for the Lord has given heed to your affliction. He shall be a wild ass of a man, with his hand against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; and he shall live at odds with all his kin.” So she named the Lord who spoke to her, “You are El-roi”; for she said, “Have I really seen God and remained alive after seeing him?” Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered. Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.

“Long before any human beings saw us, we are seen by God’s loving eyes. Long before anyone heard us cry or laugh, we are heard by God who is all ears for us…Our uniqueness, and individuality are not given to us by those who meet us in clock time-our brief chronological existence-but by the One who has chosen us with an everlasting love, a love that existed from all eternity and will last through all eternity.” —Henri Nouwen, Life of the Beloved

“Prejudice and fear never build community, it will only tear a community apart.” —Senator Penny Wong

“Most people do not see things as they are, they see things as they are.” —Richard Rohr, Breathing Underwater

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” —Eleanor Roosevelt

“I looked for God and I could not find God. I looked for my sister and all three of us found each other.” —Gabriela Mistral

“I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and before the Lamb and heartily singing…”

—Eugene Peterson, The Message (Revelation 7:9)

Response: More To See Words & Music by Darlene Zschech, Mia Fieldes, Deborah Ezzy, Donia Makedonez, and Nigel Hendroff

Well I know that I may have had my share of failing and falling But I have come to understand one thing remains By all He’s done, I have been made holy Worthy of serving the One The One who wrote eternity so deep in my heart Chorus: Open your eyes and see The wonder of a life so wonderfully free Lift up your head, believe There is more There’s so much more to see You remind me still of the hope and promise Daring my heart to be brave And all the while You strengthen me so deep in my heart Chorus His mercies are new every morning His mercies are new every day His mercies are new every morning Beautifully new every day Chorus 2x

Lift up your eyes and see

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Closing Hymn: Live into Hope (Hymnal #772) Text: Jane Parker Huber, 1976; Music: Musica Sacra, c. 1778

Live into hope of captives freed Of sight regained, the end of greed The oppressed shall be the first to see The year of God’s own jubilee! Live into hope! The blind shall see With insight and with clarity Removing shades of pride and fear A vision of our God brought near Live into hope of liberty The right to speak, the right to be The right to have one’s daily bread To hear God’s word and thus be fed
