In this hymn, our hearts are broken not for made it all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot our own sake, not because of anything that has 100 chart, so apparently it was a question that happened to us, but rather out of a deep concern resonated with quite a few people. for those around us. Unlike the egocentric view In fact, songs about broken hearts historically presented in many popular heartbreak songs, have been a sure-fire way for artists to get songs Leech’s lyrics urge us to let our broken hearts on the charts. From Frank Sinatra to Adele, motivate us toward helping others. Rather than Hank Williams to Pearl Jam, musical acts heartbreak being this painful thing to be avoided repeatedly have mined for musical gold in the at all costs, this hymn wants us to see heartbreak depths of heartbreak. Usually these songs are as necessary in order to be about God’s work in from the perspective of the one who has had the world. a heart broken rather than the one doing the But make no mistake, the heartbreak we sing breaking, and as a result these songs can be quite about in this hymn is not akin to the sappy depressing. The singer can rightly assume the sentimentality present in some of those other role of the victim because he or she is the one songs. The message of this hymn is not, “Don’t who has been mistreated or wronged. feel sorry for yourself, feel sorry for other people Often there is a sense of despair and who don’t have it as good as you do.” Look at the desperation as the heartbroken individual action words in the first stanza:feed, soothe, give, wonders aloud about how life can possibly go serve. on or if there ever will be an opportunity to Our calling as the church is not to feel sorry love again.

Prelude Aria in E-flat Handel
Litany on Psalm 104 Jennifer Carter / Jessica Capps
Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty, wrapped in light as with a garment.
You stretch out the heavens like a tent.
You set the beams of your chambers on the waters, you make the clouds your chariot, you ride on the wings of the wind.
You make the winds your messengers, fire and flame your ministers.
You set the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never be shaken.
O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
These all look to you to give them their food in due season; when you give to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground.
May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
May my meditation be pleasing to the Lord, for I rejoice in the Lord.
Bless the Lord, O my soul. Praise the Lord!

Our God is making all things new, a promise that we know is true. Through eyes of faith we long to see a love-transformed community. A place where truth and justice reign and healing triumphs over pain, Where all have dignity and worth and peace is passed throughout the earth.
+Gospel Reading — Mark 10:35–45 Linda Garrett / Kristin Cabaniss
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” And he said to them, “What is it you want me to do for you?” And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They replied, “We are able.” Then Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. So Jesus called them and said to them, “You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 4 But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.” This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
