Music:  What Is the World Like When God’s Will Is Done?
Morris/Tice 
sung by Olivia Brownlee
Jill Cathey, oboe

What is the world like when God’s will is done?
Mustard seeds grow more than we can conceive:
Roots thread the soil; branches reach for the sun. 
This is how God moves us each to believe.

What is the world like when God’s will is done?
Witness the wandering child coming home;
Watch as the parent breaks into a run.
This is how God longs for us when we roam.

What is the world like when God’s will is done?
No more is neighbor just ally or friend;
Peace thrives in places where once there was none. 
This is how God works when rivalries end.

These are the stories that Jesus imparts,
Filled with the Spirit who joins us as one.
Born through our voices, our hands, and our hearts,
This is a new world where God’s will is done. 

Prayer
