This Till earth and heaven ring, is a high point of our Ring with the harmonies of liberty; week. We see our Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies, friends. We make Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. new friends. And we Sing a song full of the faith that the Bleak past has taught us, spend time with The Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Friend -- the loving Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Christ who meets us, as we are. In this Let us march on till victory is won. Sanctuary we worship, and through worship Stony the road we trod, the courage within us Bitter the chast'ning rod, is kindled to inspire Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; courageous living Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet beyond this place. Come to the place For which our people sighed? We have come over a way that with tears have been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the bright gleam Of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by thy might led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee; Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee, Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land.

Brown © May 2014, Jeremiah Davis Publishing Company, Houston, TX Contemporary Word / Lectura Contemporanea Trevor Noah (Audio) Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah My mom never gave me an inch. Anytime I got in trouble it was tough love, lectures, punishment, and hidings. Every time. For every infraction. You get that a lot with black parents. They’re trying to discipline you before the system does. “I need to do this to you before the police do it to you.” Because that’s all black parents are thinking from the day you’re old enough to walk out into the street, where the law is waiting. “I know you see me as some crazy old woman nagging at you,” she 2 said, “but you forget the reason I ride you so hard and give you so much trouble is because I love you. Everything I have ever done I’ve done from a place of love. If I don’t punish you, the world will punish you even worse. The world doesn’t love you. If the police get you, the police don’t love you. When I beat you, I’m trying to save you. When they beat you, they’re trying to kill you.” Special Music / Musica especial Noy Boungnasouk Mere Sar Pe Dupata by Unknown © Unknown + Scripture Lesson / Lectura Bíblica Horacio Rodriguez Luke 6:27-31 Love Makes A Way ‘But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
