Morning Breaks - again
Morning Breaks - again …Thankfully,
the birds sing this morning
flags wave in the fresh crisp air, a break from the sweltering heat
Stones of remembrance in sight, streams of sunshine and red, white and blue dotting the Meadows of remembrance-lives just like us
giving their all for the every day
News of senseless killings and massacres throughout our country and the world
Wars and starvation
Beautiful lives, cut short, perplexing disturbing, confounding
“Brother and sister under the banner of your name “1
Wars fought and fighting still
Songs being sung, “make us one all tribes and tongue”
we see the need,but refrain at times,
to lay down the differences, hard judging, taking the side, taking on attitude as having the right and only view or solution on peace plan
“Prayers rise, every age, young old, every generation, praying, Rising, raising the battle flag
the banner of victory of God,
who saw it all before
And prayed at the end of His earthly life
to all be one
“Mothers, fathers
Under the banner of Your Name
All Your children”
Every age, every skin color,
Refresh others
“….those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”2
let us build refreshing times
Times and gestures of empathy
And humanity
Building and living for that which will last
********

2 Proverbs 11:25
The generous will prosper;those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
The Church - UPPERROOM lyrics
For the different ways we see You
For all the ways You move
All the colors and expressions
Oh, the beauty of Your church
What a masterful reflection
When we are unified
Truly celebrate each other
And let go of our pride
That You would have a spotless bride
Our preferencеs, our plans
Would You help us work together
To be Your feet and hands?
Our heart is just to know You
To show them who You are
That the Gospel’s still the answer
For every searching heart
[Chorus]
Oh, praise the Father
Praise the Son
Holy Spirit
Make us one
From every nation
Tribe and tongue
This is our cry
Your Kingdom come, oh
[Bridge]
And brothers, sisters
Under the banner of Your Name
Mothers, fathers
Under the banner of Your Name
All Your children
All for the glory of Your Name
Brothers, sisters
Under the banner of Your Name
Mothers, fathers
Under the banner of Your Name
All Your children
All for the glory of Your Name
Brothers, sisters
Under the banner of Your Name
Mothers, fathers
Under the banner of Your Name
All Your children
All for the glory of Your Name
Your name
Through every story of revival
Every miracle we’ve seen
It’s a glimpse of what is coming
So by faith, help us believe
And we know the day is coming
When we will see Your face
Every knee will bow before You
And every heart will say
[Chorus]
Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Holy Spirit
Make us one
From every nation
Every tribe and tongue
This is our cry
Your Kingdom come
This is our cry
Your Kingdom come
Your will be done
Your Kingdom come
[Outro]
Unify us, Lord
Anywhere where we've been divided, Lord
Unify us, Lord
Anywhere where we've been divided, Lord
Unify us, Lord
All across the earth
Every person who claims Your name
Unify us, Lord
Oh, the church all across the earth
We're under the banner of one name
We're under the banner of Your name
We're under the banner of Your name
Every color and every language
Is under the banner of Your name
Every age group, Lord
Every skin color, Lord
We're under the banner of Your name
Every denomination, Lord
Is under the banner of Your name
Do you love God?
Do you love Jesus?
Then you're under the banner of His name
We're under the banner of Your name
