Prayer for the Body

Grace And Peace

Written by Jill Phillips and Andy Gullahorn

All the weary, tired souls full of hunger
Needing something that fills
All the thirsty that heard about living water
Need a way to the well
It’s a strange crowd
But still somehow
The lost have been found
By the One in whose Name we come
Grace and peace to you through our Lord Jesus
Times like these we need that kind of love
To take these things coming in between us
And wash us clean with the body and the blood
Early that night just before he was taken
He broke of the bread
So we could taste that He has died, He is risen
He is coming again
And it’s much more
Than we could ask for
To be made pure
By the One in whose Name we come


"It's a strange crowd" - I love that line. I wish that I could sing this song to you, my beloved family.

This is lovely. "He broke of the bread so we coule taste that He has died, He is risen." So poetic and beautiful and best of all, TRUE! :)

Gloria,

It would really be nice to hear that song. Great lyrics it has, at least! Really beautiful.

You asked how to pronounce my name - well... ouch. I even consulted my friend in this :D

I think a-ya might be pretty close. A as the name of the alphabet, and ya like in yard. *grin* And I don't think it means anything. In Germany they have Christmas carols and lullabies where they sing "eia, eia, susani, susani, susani". There eia means pretty much the same as "hush" and susani is the little child.
