The Scraps
Sometimes we feel left out.  We can focus on the negative.  Or we can persevere in finding what we need and treasuring the gifts we've been given, even if they are the leftovers.

LYRICS:

THERE IS A RIVER and it flows from deep within
There is a fountain and frees the soul from sin
So, come to this water, there is a vast supply
There is a river that never shall run dry

Now there was the thirsty woman
 And she was drawing from a well
 Oh, her life was ruined and wasted
 And her soul was bound for hell

Oh, but then she met the Master
 And He told her about her sins
 And he said if you drink this water
 You'll never, never thirst again, ooh

There is a river and it flows from deep within
 There is a fountain and it frees the soul from sin
 Oh, come to this water, there is a vast supply
 There is a river that never shall run dry.

I THEN SHALL LIVE as one who's been forgiven.
I'll walk with joy to know my debts are paid.
I know my name is clear before my Father;
I am His child and I am not afraid.
So, greatly pardoned, I'll forgive my brother;
The law of love I gladly will obey.

I then shall live as one who's learned compassion.
 I've been so loved, that I'll risk loving too.
 I know how fear builds walls instead of bridges;
 I'll dare to see another's point of view.
 And when relationships demand commitment,
 Then I'll be there to care and follow through.

Your Kingdom come around and through and in me;
 Your power and glory, let them shine through me.
 Your Hallowed Name, O may I bear with honor,
 And may Your living Kingdom come in me.
 The Bread of Life, O may I share with honor,
 And may You feed a hungry world through me.

Amen, Amen, Amen
