River of Life 2009: Lincoln County, Georgia

All I can say is wow! What an amazing week! Over 255 participated in River of Life in Lincolnton, GA June 24-28, 2009. It was an amazing week of worship, serving, and fellowship. Once again over 24 families have new paint on their houses, new roofs over their heads, new porches to sit on, new wheelchair ramps to help them get out of their homes, landscaping, and even for one lady a new house all together. God is so great!

The one thing that has stayed in my head for the past week wherever I have gone since leaving Lincoln County has been the song by Tim Hughes that we sang that became our prayer during the week.

God of Justice (We must Go)

God of Justice, Savior to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served

Jesus, You have called us
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go

To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in everyway
Walking humbly before You God

You have shown us, what You require
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go live to feed the hungry

Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go

Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out Lord (x4)

Acting humbly
Loving mercy
We must go, we must go
To the broken
And the hurting
We must go, we must go

We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go
