Hymn: Beware of what you think or say
Proper 15 year A
Matthew 15: 21-28
Beware of what you think or say,
our actions give the lie,
or offer evidence of faith
for which we sing, or cry.
When challenged by a foreigner,
a woman in her need,
see Jesus shamed to change and act,
her challenge sowed a seed...
Tune: ABRIDGE or BELMONT
