... strength and peace, hot weather and the grace of God, practical progress and fellowship through the Spirit



Walk in the light: so shalt thou know
That fellowship of love
His Spirit only can bestow
Who reigns in light above.

Walk in the light: and sin abhorred
Shall ne’er defile again;
The blood of Jesus Christ, thy Lord,
Shall cleanse from every stain.

Walk in the light: and thou shalt find
Thy heart made truly His
Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined
In Whom no darkness is.

Walk in the light: and thou shalt own
Thy darkness passed away,
Because that light hath on thee shone
In which is perfect day.

Walk in the light: and e’en the tomb
No fearful shade shall wear;
Glory shall chase away its gloom,
For Christ has conquered there.

Walk in the light: and thine shall be
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
And God Himself is light.

Behold what manner of love

the Father has bestowed on us,

that we should be called

children of God!


Therefore the world does not know us,

... His grace to me in practical situations :-)



Psalm 8 (metrical)

How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, our Lord, is Thy name!
Who hast Thy glory far advanc'd
Above the starry frame.

From infants' and from sucklings' mouth
Thou didest strength ordain,
For thy foes' cause, that so Thou might'st
Th' avenging foe restrain.

When I look up unto the heav'ns,
Which Thine own fingers fram'd,
Unto the moon, and to the stars,
Which were by Thee ordain'd;

Then say I, What is man, that he
Remember'd is by Thee?
Or what the son of man, that Thou
So kind to him should'st be?

For Thou a little lower hast
Him than the angels made;
With glory and with dignity
Thou crowned hast His head.

Of Thy hands' works Thou mad'st Him Lord,
All under's feet didst lay;
All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts
That in the field do stray;

Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,
All that pass through the same.
How excellent in all the earth,
Lord, our Lord, is Thy name!

Beloved, now we are children of God;

and it has not yet been revealed

what we shall be, but we know

that when He is revealed,

... creating such a beautiful earth for us to enjoy.

I praise God for being my father, and providing all my needs.Though life hasn't been all that rosy, he is there at every twist and turn on the road and at every crossroad.
He makes life so beautiful.
Praise God my soul and all the within praise his holy name.

... preparing my way and encouraging me to walk in His way



We worship and adore You,
Falling down before You,
Songs of praises singing,
Hallelujahs ringing,

Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Amen!

Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Lo! the Sun’s eclipse is over, Alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more, Alleluia!

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!

... giving strength and composure, healing and my appetite back



Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore;
[b]Mortals give thanks and sing, and triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice![/b]

Jesus, the Savior, reigns, the God of truth and love;
When He had purged our stains He took His seat above;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o’er earth and Heav’n,
The keys of death and hell are to our Jesus giv’n;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

He sits at God’s right hand till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command, and fall beneath His feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

He all His foes shall quell, shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell with pure seraphic joy;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

[b]Rejoice in glorious hope! Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up to their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th’archangel’s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice![/b]

Day is dying in the west;
Heav’n is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets the evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.

[i]Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav’n and earth are full of Thee!
Heav’n and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord most high![/i]

Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home,
Gather us who seek Thy face
To the fold of Thy embrace,
For Thou art nigh.

[i]Refrain[/i]

While the deepening shadows fall,
Heart of love enfolding all,
Through the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face,
Our hearts ascend.

[i]Refrain[/i]

When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise
And shadows end.
