Psalm 121:1-4

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,

    the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—

    he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

Songs of Praise

Joy (Mitchell)

There's beauty in my brokenness

I've got true love instead of pain

There's freedom though you've captured me

I've got joy instead of mourning

You give me joy Down deep in my soul

Down deep in my soul Down deep in my soul

You give me joy Down deep in my soul

Down deep in my soul Down deep in my soul

King of My Heart (McMillan)

Let the king of my heart be the mountain where I run

The fountain I drink from oh He is my song

Let the king of my heart be the shadow where I hide

The ransom for my life oh He is my song

You are good, good oh (4x)

Let the king of my heart be the wind in my sails

The anchor in my waves oh He is my song

Let the king of my heart be the fire inside my veins

The echo of my days oh He is my song

Scripture Reading: Revelation 3:14-22

14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 

15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.  

17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. 

19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 

20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
