A Hymn That I like

Lord Jesus Christ, 

you have come to us,

you are one with us, Mary's Son.

Cleansing our souls from all their sin,

pouring your love and goodness in,

Jesus our love

for you we sing,

living Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ,

now and every day

teach us how to pray, Son of God.

You have commanded us to do

this in remembrance, Lord, of you;

into our lives

your power break through,

living Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ,

you have come to us,

born as one of us, Mary's Son.

Led out to die on calvary, 

risen from death to set us free, 

living Lord Jesus 

help us see 

you are Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ,

I would come to you,

live my life for you, Son of God.

All your commands I know are true,

your many gifts with make me new,

into my life

your power breaks through,

living Lord.

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Luke

Great crowds accompanied Jesus on His way and He turned and spoke to them.  'If any man comes to me without hating his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, yes and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple.  Anyone who does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.  And indeed, which of you here, intend to build a tows, would not first sit down and work out the cost to see if he had enough to complete it?  Otherwise, if he laid the foundation and then found himself unable to finish the work, the onlookers would all start making fun of him and saying, "Here is a man who started to build and was unable to finish."  Or again, what king marching to war against another king would not first sit down and consider whether with ten thousand men he could stand up to the other who advanced against with twenty thousand?  If not, then while the other king was still a long way off, he would send envoys to sue for peace.  So in the same, none of you can be my disciples unless he gives up all his possessions.
