What The World Needs Now, Is Love.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord we don’t need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross. enough to last
‘Till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord we don’t need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sun beams and moon beams
Enough to shine
Oh listen Lord if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love

Sidewalks Chalk 
Dear Lord,
Almighty God,
in whose hands lies the destiny of men and nations,
Let not the hopes of people perish,
nor the sacrifices of them be in vain.
O holy and life-giving Spirit,
enable us by thy grace to root out from our common life
the bitterness of ancient wrongs
and the thirst to avenge the betrayals of long ago.
Save us from the tyranny of history
and set us free in a new obedience
to serve each other in the present hour.
Accepting the redemption wrought for us,
we believe that all our sins of yesterday are covered by thy mercy;
Grant us therefore grace and courage
to give and to receive the forgiveness
which alone can heal today’s wounds.
Draw us, O Lord, towards loving kindness
and guide us into the way of peace.
In this I pray
Amen
