An upper room did our Lord prepare

1. An upper room did our Lord prepare
for those he loved until the end,
and his disciples still gather there
to celebrate their risen Friend.

2. A lasting gift Jesus gave his own—
to share his bread, his loving cup;
whatever burdens may bow us down,
he by his cross shall lift us up.

3. And after supper he washed their feet,
for service, too, is sacrament;�
in him our joy shall be made complete-
sent out to serve, as he was sent.

4. No end there is! We depart in peace;
he loves beyond the uttermost;
in every room in our Father's house
he will be there, as Lord and Host.

Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love

Refrain:
Jesu, Jesu, fill us with your love;
show us how to serve
the neighbours we have from you.

1. Kneels at the feet of his friends,
silently washes their feet,�
master who acts as a slave to them.�
Refrain

2. Neighbours are rich and poor,
varied in colour and race;
neighbours are near and far away.�
Refrain

3. These are the ones we should serve;
these are the ones we should love;
all are neighbours to us and you.�
Refrain

4. Kneel at the feet of our friends,
silently washing their feet;�
this is the way we should live with you.�
Refrain

Mexico Mission Update:

Thursday was an early start as the team headed to the children’s orphanage—painting, clearing debris, and tackling the not-so-glamorous (but essential!) prep work to get ready for the next stage of construction.

That evening, the team enjoyed some rest while Pastor Tim, alongside David translating, shared a message at Zicetelli Church—a place he’s faithfully served for over 20 years.

Saturday took them to Ebeneezer House, though not finished construction is already caring for five men daily. They painted, shared time together, and handed out personal care items. And yes… it was HOT—like sauna hot!

Sunday was truly special—several men from the rehab centre, along with one man’s mother, were baptized in the river near Puerto Escondido, taking a beautiful step in their walk with Christ. ... See MoreSee Less
