pasture.-Psalms 100:2-3

Creation sings the Father’s song

He calls the sun to wake the dawn

And run the course of day ‘till evening falls in crimson rays.

His fingerprints in flakes of snow

His breath upon this spinning globe

He charts the eagle's flight

Commands the newborn baby's cry

Hallelujah!  Let all creation stand and sing,   "Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship;    Tell the wonders of creation's King.     

Creation gazed upon His faceThe ageless One in time's embrace

Unveiled the Father's plan Of reconciling God and man. 

A second Adam walked the earth, Whose blameless life would break the curse 

Whose death would set us free To live with Him eternally.    

Hallelujah!  Let all creation stand and sing,   "Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship;    Tell the wonders of creation's King.     

Creation longs for His return, When Christ shall reign upon the earth;   

The bitter wars that rage Are birth pains of a coming age.    

When He renews the land and sky, All heav'n will sing and earth reply   

With one resplendent theme:

The glories of our God and King! 

Hallelujah!  Let all creation stand and sing,   "Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship;    Tell the wonders of creation's King. (X2)

I admit that there are timesThat I am tempted to despair.Then God speaks in all His mercyTo let me know He's there.He took care of yesterday for meTomorrow is in his care.Today He will walk beside meIn answer to my prayer.He brings constant joy and comfortTo ease my concerns away.I could not go on without HimTo be my companion through each day.I would just like to remind youTo lean hard upon his chest.Release each trial to HimWait for Him to do the rest..

God is always available

Jesus Draws Me Ever Nearer

Jesus draw me ever nearer As I labour through the storm.

You have called me to this passage, and I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing, May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing, With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest; Keep my spirit staid and sure.

When the midnight meets the morning, Let me love You even more.

May this journey bring a blessing, May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing, With Your likeness let me wake.

Let the treasures of the trial Form within me as I go -

And at the end of this long passage, Let me leave them at Your throne.

May this journey bring a blessing, May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing, With Your likeness let me wake.

When trails come

When trials come no longer fearFor in the pain our God draws nearTo fire a faith worth more than goldAnd there His faithfulness is toldAnd there His faithfulness is told

Within the night I know Your peaceThe breath of God brings strength to meAnd new each morning mercy flowsAs treasures of the darkness growAs treasures of the darkness grow

I turn to Wisdom not my ownFor every battle You have knownMy confidence will rest in YouYour love endures Your ways are goodYour love endures Your ways are good

When I am weary with the costI see the triumph of the crossSo in it’s shadow I shall runTill You completes the work begunTill You completes the work begun

One day all things will be made newI’ll see the hope You called me toAnd in your kingdom paved with goldI’ll praise your faithfulness of oldI’ll praise your faithfulness of old

Without God….Our week would be:Sinday, Mournday, Tearsday,Wasteday, Thirstday, Fightday,Shatterday

Seven days without God…
