Palm Sunday Psalm

I was responsible for the Radio Ulster studio service for Palm Sunday this morning. You can listen to it via the link if you so desire. This is the psalm I included in it:

You are my God, and I will praise you

For your love lasts forever!

Pushed to our limits we cried to the Lord,

and he responded by setting us free.

The Lord walks with us;

So we have nothing and no-one to fear.

He is always at our side,

So we will triumph over our enemies.

It is better to seek support from the Lord than to trust in others who will let us down.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in politicians and people in places of power.

All our strength we owe to the LORD. He is the source of our singing;

He is our salvation.
Songs of joy and shouts of victory fill the homes and hearts of the people he has redeemed:

Hosanna! We are saved!
The LORD's strong hand has reached down to rescue us!

Let us sing of all that He has done.
We have come into his presence, into his holy house

Let us give thanks to the LORD!

You answered our prayers, you met all our needs

You are our salvation.
What was rejected has been redeemed

The ignored has been exalted.

The LORD has done this,

and it is amazing to behold.
This is the day the LORD has made,

so let us rejoice and celebrate all day long.
From the house of the LORD we bless his name.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD.
Hosanna! We are saved!
With branches and banners we join in the holy procession

right up to the steps of his throne.

Let us give thanks to the LORD!

You are my God, and I will praise you

For your love lasts forever!

From Psalm 118

A Woman of no Distinction

Don't often post other people's stuff here... But I found this so powerful that I thought I should. It's a performance poem based on John 4: 4-30, and I have attached the original YouTube video below. A word for women, and men, everywhere... "to be known is to be loved, and to be loved is to be known." I am a woman of no distinction of little importance. I am a women of no reputation save that which is bad. You whisper as I pass by and cast judgmental glances, Though you don’t really take the time to look at me, Or even get to know me. For to be known is to be loved, And to be loved is to be known. Otherwise what’s the point in doing either one of them in the first place? I WANT TO BE KNOWN. I want someone to look at my face And not just see two eyes, a nose, a mouth and two ears; But to see all that I am, and could be all my hopes, loves and fears. But that’s too much to hope for, to wish for, or pray for So I don’t, not anymore. Now I keep to myself And by that

Psalm for Harvest Sunday

A short responsive psalm for us as a call to worship on Harvest Thanksgiving Sunday, and given that it was pouring with rain as I headed into church this morning the first line is an important remembrance that the rain we moan about is an important component of the fruitfulness of the land we live in: You tend the land and water it And the earth produces its abundance. You crown each year with your bounty, and our storehouses overflow with your goodness. The mountain meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are filled with corn; Your people celebrate your boundless grace They shout for joy and sing. from Psalm 65

Living under the Empire... (2) Where is Babylon?

We were driving back from school last week, talking about books that we had been reading and my younger son, Ciaran, asked me "Where is Babylon?" I have to confess that my history is better than my geography, and I said that it no longer exists as an inhabited city, but its ruins were to the north west of the current capital of Iraq, Baghdad. When I checked however, I discovered that it is actually about 50 miles south of Baghdad and the modern town is the administrative centre of the province of Babil... But just as the modern city is but a shadow of the historic capital of 2 ancient empires, first under Hammurabi in the 18th century BCE and then the "Neo-Babylonian" empire (under Nebuchadnezzar etc) in the 6th century BCE, so the earthly Babylonian empire/s was/were fleeting in comparison to the enduring metaphorical idea of Babylon. The original Empire under Hammurabi was probably the ultimate origin of some of the early Biblical stories, including the &quo
