ALL OF CREATION AND ME - Sarah Susannah Sampath

ALL OF CREATION AND ME

As I look into the intricacies of a petal in a flower,
As I watch the rose blossoming among many thorns
And as I gaze expectantly at the sky for a shower
I am filled with awe, at His wondrous creation

As I sit beside a still green lake
The silver lining of the orange sky tickle my eyes
And the thought of tail wriggling fishes inside the lake,
Light a smile on my face, as I wonder at the awe of His creation

As I look into the eyes of my child
I see the blue pool of innocence written therein
I run my fingers through the softness of his hair
And sit in silence at the wonder of His creation

But above all, the joy I enjoy within
That, I never can fully express
Is because, though he watches over all His creation
The fairest of all has His eyes fixed on mortal ME.

A HEART HIJACKER - Sarah Susannah Sampath

A HEART HIJACKER

Are you a teacher
Toiling hard in a school?
Spare a few moments to express
Gods manifold love
To your attent students
And be a heart hijacker for Christ

Are you a doctor
Going on rounds every night?
Spare a few moments to express
Gods manifold love
To those distressed patients
And be a heart hijacker for Christ

Are you a software engineer
Working for hours at the computer?
Spare a few moments to express
Gods manifold love
To your lonesome colleagues
And be a heart hijacker for Christ

Are you a lecturer
Using an LCD projector in full view?
Spare a few moments to express
Gods manifold love
To your naughty students
And be a heart hijacker for Christ

Are you a cab driver
Driving through those busy roads?
Spare a few moments to express
Gods manifold love
To a passenger sitting beside
And be a heart hijacker for Christ

Are you a home maker
Ceaselessly doing household chores?
Spare a few moments to express
Gods manifold love
To a grumpy neighbour
And be a heart hijacker for Christ

Whatever or wherever you are
Speeding away in life’s busy car?
Spare a few moments to express
Gods manifold love
To a person in need
And strive to be a heart hijacker for Christ

Apostles" Creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell: The third day he rose again from the dead:He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: I believe in the Holy Ghost: I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints: The forgiveness of sins: The resurrection of the body: And the life everlasting. Amen.

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
