When life is new
Stand up
There are things to do
So, stand up
Places to explore!
Let’s stand up
We long to go
And stand up
Strength to hold us
Thought to motivate
Wisdom, now guide us
As we stand up
Stand Up

Reflections on Rubber Bands
• Sometimes we feel a little stretched
• Stretching can be good
• Over-stretching can have negative results
• It is good to be flexible
• Flexibility eases stress
• There are times to let things rest
• Letting go can hurt
• We often take each other for granted
• We each fit different tasks
• Rubber bands hold things together
• Mutual support brings greater enjoyment
• We were each specially crafted by the Maker
Hold Us
Hold us, oh Lord
In your encircling arms
So wide so strong
Hold us, oh Lord
Quiet shelter
Hold us, oh Lord
We rest in You
Your unfailing presence
Hold us, oh Lord
Do not turn away
Hold us, oh Lord
We rejoice in You
Secure and protected
Hold us, oh Lord
Block temptation’s sway
Hold us, oh Lord
When doubts say flee
When fears would darken
Hold us, oh Lord
Your hands to calm
Hold us, oh Lord
Strong ship in storm
Firm tower in battle
Hold us, oh Lord
When our soul would faint
Hold us, oh Lord
We abide in You
Source of life and hope
Hold us, oh Lord
God Eternal
The Still Small Voice
