Thanksgiving

"Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."


~ Philippians 4:6

Obedience

"And Samuel said, 'Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams'"

~ 1 Samuel 15:22

Perfect Love

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

~ 1 John 4:18

Faithfully

Faithfully


Tonight I saw a shooting star.
Made me wonder where you are.
For years I have been dreaming of you;
I wonder if you're thinking of me too.
In this world of cheap romance,
And love that only fades after the dance,
They say that I'm a fool to wait for somethin' more.
How can I really love someone I've never seen before?
I have longed for true love every day that I have lived,
And I know real love is all about learnin' how to give.
I pray that God will bring you to me,
I pray you'll find we waiting faithfully.

Faithfully, I am yours,
From now until forever.
Faithfully, I will write,
Write you a love song with my life.
'Cause this kind of love's worth waiting for!
No matter how long it takes, I am yours.
Faithfully, faithfully

Tonight I saw two lovers kiss.
Reminded me of my own loneliness.
They say that I'm a fool to keep on prayin' for you;
How can I give up pleasure for a dream that won't come true?
I will keep believing that God still has a plan.
And though I can not see you now,
I know that He can.
And someday, I will give you all of me.
Until I find you, I'll be waiting faithfully.

Faithfully, I am yours,
From now until forever.
Faithfully, I wil write,
Write you a love song with my life.
'Cause this kind of love's worth waiting for!
Now matter how long it takes I am yours.
Faithfully, faithfully

Faithfully, I am yours,
From now until forever.
Faithfully, I will write,
Write you a love song with my life.
'Cause this kind of love's worth waiting for!
No matter how long it takes I am yours.
Faithfully, faithfully, faithfully.

Change

"'...things will change, whether we like it or no, things won't go on for a long while just as they are and no difference.'"



~ Silas Marner, Silas Marner, George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)

Work

Work

Let me but do my work from day to day,
In field or forest, at the desk or loom,
In roaring market-place or tranquil room;
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray,
"This is my work; my blessing, not my doom;
Of all who live, I am the one by whom
This work can best be done in the right way."

Then shall I see it not too great, nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers;
Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest,
Because I know for me my work is best.

~ Henry Van Dyke

Our Great Saviour

Our Great Saviour

Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Savior, makes me whole.

Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping loving,
He is with me to the end.

Jesus! what a Strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in Him.
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my Strength, my victory wins.

Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.

Jesus! what a Help in sorrow!
While the billows over me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my Comfort, helps my soul.

Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.

Jesus! what a Guide and Keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night overtakes me,
He my Pilot hears my cry.

Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.

Jesus! I do now receive Him,
More than all in Him I find.
He hath granted me forgiveness,
I am His, and He is mine.

Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
