How precious is your steadfast love, O
God,
and refuge in the shadow of your wings.
We build up your church when we offer
hymns,
sermons, and other acts of worship;
also when we intercede for one unjustly
punished--
or when we give a needed cup of cold
water.

How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
Jer. 38:8-9
So Ebed-melech left the king’s house and spoke to the king
[Zedekiah], "My lord king, these [officials] have acted wickedly in all
they did to the prophet Jeremiah by throwing him into the cistern to die there
of hunger, for there is no bread left in the city."
1 Cor. 14:26
What should be done then, my friends? When you come together, each one has a hymn,
a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.
Matt. 10:42
"…and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of
these little ones in the name of a disciple--truly I tell you, none of these
will lose their reward." [Jesus to
his twelve disciples, as he was sending them out]
