Ordinary Time // Part 1 // Week 8 // July 31-Aug. 6

In the morning before the sun rises
The world lays in silence
And everything seems still
In the evening, the stillness is motion
The moon rocks the ocean
Lullubaby of the whippoorwill

In each days’ coming, a new world is humming
When our footsteps’ drumming
Is tuned to your heartbeat
In our going, God, teach us to follow
And breathe your love all over
Sun, and moon, and sea.

And in this ordinary time
Shape our hearts and change our minds
Teach us how to love like you
Who are making all things new
And when we lose our way,
When we wander astray,
God, find us with your grace
In this ordinary time

In our resting, renew and restore us
And then set before us
All that you’d have us do

And in this ordinary time
Shape our hearts and change our minds
Teach us how to love like you
Who are making all things new
And when we lose our way,
When we wander astray,
God, find us with your grace
In this ordinary time
