ORGAN REFLECTION
CALL TO OFFERING Rev. Bell Olsson
OFFERTORY ANTHEM The Road Home Chancel Choir
by Stephen Paulus (1949-2014) Emily Smith, Soloist
Tell me, where is the road I can call my own? That I left, that I lost, so long ago? All these years
I have wandered, oh, when will I know there’s a way, there’s a road that will lead me home?
After wind, after rain, when the dark is done. As I wake from a dream in the gold of day,
through the air there’s a calling from far away, there’s a voice I can hear that will lead me home.
Rise up, follow me, come away, is the call, with the love in your heart as the only song;
There is no such beauty as where you belong: Rise up, follow me, I will lead you home.
(words by Michael Dennis Browne)
DOXOLOGY*
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
