I’d Rather Have Jesus Than Silver or Gold

Gloria Jean Roberts

MC Waldrep, Ava Patino

One: Praise God, O my soul!

Many: I will sing praises to my God as long as I live;

One: Do not put your trust in princes, in rulers or governors or presidents;

Many: In them, there is no help.

One: When their breath departs, they return to earth;

Many: On that very day their plans perish.

One: Happy are those whose help is in God, whose hope is in the Lord,

Many: For God made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in it.

One: God executes justice for the oppressed, and gives food to the hungry,

sets the prisoners free, opens the eyes of people who are blind, and lifts

up those who are down.

All: May God, the fountain of our blessings, reign forever!

Nothing Between My Soul and My Savior

Jessie Floyd

Our God, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kin-dom come,

thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily

bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass

against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kin-dom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Reading from Exodus 32: 1-14

32 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people

gathered around Aaron, and said, “Come, make gods for us, who shall go before us; as for this

Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of

him.” 2 Aaron said to them, “Take off the gold rings that are on the ears of your spouses and

your children, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off the gold rings from their ears,

and brought them to Aaron. 4 Aaron took the gold from them, formed it with an engraving tool,

and cast an image of a calf; and they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up

out of the land of Egypt!” 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made

proclamation and said, “Tomorrow shall be a festival to the LORD.” 6 They rose early the next day,

and offered burnt offerings and brought sacrifices of well-being; and the people sat down to eat

and drink, and rose up to revel.

7 The LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once! Your people, whom you brought up out of the land

of Egypt, have acted perversely; 8 they have been quick to turn aside from the way that I

commanded them; they have cast for themselves an image of a calf, and have worshiped it and

sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of

Egypt!’” 9 The LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people, how stiff-necked they are. 10 Now let

me alone, so that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them; and of you I

will make a great nation.”

11 But Moses implored God, and said, “O LORD, why does your wrath burn hot against your

people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty

hand? 12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that God brought them out to kill

them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce

wrath; change your mind and do not bring disaster on your people. 13 Remember Abraham and

Sarah, Isaac and Israel, your servants, how you swore to them by your own self, saying to them,

‘I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I

will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’” 14 And God changed God’s mind

about the disaster that was planned to bring on the people.

Reading from Matthew 6:19-21, 33 19“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where

thieves break in and steal; 20but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither

moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure

is, there your heart will be also… 33But strive first for the kindom of God and God’s

righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
