and with faith. In the name of Jesus, who had nothing but
possessed everything. Amen.

Behold the beauty and splendor of God’s people.
All of us – rich and poor, employed and unemployed
and desperately hanging on.
Behold the beauty and splendor of God’s people.
We believe God’s steadfast love is better than life,

All of us – rich and poor, employed and unemployed
and desperately hanging on.
So with faith – both bold and timid – let us worship God!
