Today


Today

Thank you, Father, for today
I woke up to Your Presence
And though these are uncertain times
You teach me faith’s great lessons

Nothing comes by accident
Great comfort is found here
You are still on Grace’s Throne
And ask me to draw near

And I will hope continually
And praise Thee for Thy mercy
Placing all into Thy hands--
These things so topsy-turvy

For in Thy hands the oceans lie
Hills tremble at Thy voice
Nothing is impossible
To trust Thee is my choice

 This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it. 
(Psalm 118:24) 

Based on Psalm 71

Our Continual Resort


Our Continual Resort

A Very Present Help
Grace in time of need
A Strength in every trial
A Teacher who will lead

The Shepherd in the Valley
The Light upon my Way
A Friend Who loves and comforts
The God who hears us pray

Thank You for Your Presence--
Your Word whispers good cheer:
Fear not, Blessed Children
Your Father is still here

Psalm 71:3
Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Psalm 91:4-6
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

The Principles


The Principles



The coach looked at his players

As they huddled all around

There were no happy faces

The ball lay on the ground



“Get your heart back in it

Believe it can be done

This is where the playing starts

And here the vict’ry’s won”



“Get your head into the game

Think on your next move

Work each play as I designed

Each time you will improve”



“Get your hands up in the air

Watch out for all their tricks

Pay attention—do your job

No work some loss inflicts”



We, too may seem defeated

When Satan wins a round

But the Game is not yet over

‘Til we hear the trumpet sound



So listen to the coaching

Then get back in the game

For God will do great wonders

As we glorify His Name

What A Word Is This


What a Word is This



What a Word is this!

That calms men’s hearts

Yet puts the enemy to flight



What a Word is this!

With great Authority

That rescues from sin’s plight



What a Word is this!

Who made the mountains grand

And spread the sea shore sand



What a Word is this!

Revealing God to man

Exposing each command



What a Word is this!

Speaking “Peace, be still”

Enfolding us in God’s Will



What a Word is this!

To guard our steps today

Lead in the Heavenly Way



What a Word is this!

May every tongue proclaim

The Glory and the Name



What a Word is This!

They came to have their needs met

Broken and wounded

And Jesus healed them



They came to ask Him questions

Doubting and deceitful

And Jesus gave them Answers



They came as little children

Needing affection and attention

And Jesus blessed them



One came a rich, young ruler

But something was lacking

And Jesus offered Himself



They came to serve Him only

Forsaking all to find all

And Jesus was their All in all 



All had needs but not all received

And until one receives they will never perceive

Grace opens the door, but faith must walk through

What is your choice--It is opened to you!
