If You Fall Down

Learning to Live Inside Out

First Sunday in Lent, Year A

If we endeavor to work in the world around us, we will fall down. From time to time, we will fail; our efforts will not be received in the spirit intended; the fruit will be slow in coming. So, if we must fall, let us fall down in worship of the one who redeems us.

The season of Lent is a time to journey inward and to focus on self-examination. Often, this is done through the practice of the disciplines of Lent – prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. However, this series helps us move in two directions – looking inward and moving outward. We are learning to live inside out.

Following are some hymns, songs, and anthems suited for this series and the biblical texts selected.

Abbreviations:

  • TFWS: The Faith We Sing
  • UMH: The United Methodist Hymnal
  • W&S: Worship and Song
