Part of the Family
Words and Music by James K. Manley
Refrain
Refrain
Come in, come in and sit down, you are a part of the family.
We are lost and we are found, and we are a part of the family.
1. You know the reason why you came, yet no reason can explain;
1. You know the reason why you came, yet no reason can explain;
so share in the laughter and cry in the pain, for we are a part of the family.
God is with us in this place, like a mother’s warm embrace.
We’re all forgiven by God’s grace, for we are a part of the family.
2. Children and elders, middlers and teens, singles and doubles and in-betweens,
Strong eighty fivers and street-wise sixteens, for we are a part of the family.
Greeters and shoppers, long-time and new, nobody here has a claim on a pew;
and whether we’re many or whether we’re few, we are a part of the family.
3. There’s life to be shared in the bread and the wine; we are the branches, Christ is the vine.
This is God’s temple, it’s not yours or mine, but we are a part of the family.
There’s rest for the weary and health for us all; there’s a yoke that is easy, and a burden that’s small.
So come in and worship and answer the call, for we are a part of the family.

ELW #697 Just a Closer Walk with Thee
Refrain
Just a closer walk with thee,
Just a closer walk with thee,
grant it, Jesus, is my plea;
daily walking close to thee,
let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
1 I am weak but thou art strong:
1 I am weak but thou art strong:
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I'll be satisfied as long
as I walk, let me walk close to thee.
2 Through this world of toil and snares,
2 Through this world of toil and snares,
if I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but thee, dear Lord, none but thee.
3 When my feeble life is o'er,
3 When my feeble life is o'er,
time for me will be no more;
guide me gently, safely o'er
to thy kingdom shore, to thy shore.

ELW #773 Precious Lord, Take My Hand
Refrain
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on Let me stand
I'm tired, I am weak I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
1. When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
1. When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry; Hear my call; Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
2. When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand; Guide my feet; Hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
2. When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand; Guide my feet; Hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
God the Provider
Creed by Rev. Andreas Wagner
We believe in the God who provides for our every need,
Who has an answer to our deepest questions,
And a purpose for us in life.
Today we praise God the provider.
We believe in Jesus Christ, our holy brother,
Who stands by our side when light turns into darkness,
Who suffers our pain and turns it into a blessing.
For the presence of Christ in our lives,
We praise God the provider.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the breath of life,
Who inspires us when our spirits are dried up,
Who creates something new when old structures crumble.
For the spirit of hope and renewal,
We praise God the provider.
Amen.
ELW #742 What a Friend We Have in Jesus
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit;
oh, what needless pain we bear--
all because we do not carry
ev'rything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit;
oh, what needless pain we bear--
all because we do not carry
ev'rything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged--
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness--
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge--
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
Text: Joseph Scriven, 1820-1886
