Sheep May Safely Graze J.S. Bach
Flocks in pastures green abiding, safely with their Shepherd rest.
Cooled by waters gently gliding, flocks in pastures green abiding…
With the food of life he feeds them, to the fold he gently leads them,
There to dwell forever blessed.
I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm, as it was bright;
And round beneath it, Time in hours, days, years,
Driv’n by the spheres
Like a vast shadow mov’d; in which the world
And all her train were Hurl’d.
There is in God, some say,
A deep but dazzling darkness, as we here
Say it is late and dusky, because we
See not all clear.
O for that night! Where I in Him
Might live invisible and dim!
A great ring of pure and endless light
Dazzles the darkness in my heart
And breaks apart the dusky clouds of night.
~ Madeleine L’Engle
Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your torrents;
all your waves and your billows
have gone over me.
By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalm 42:7-8
I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me African American Spiritual
I’m gonna live so God can use me
Anywhere, Lord, anytime!
I’m gonna work so God can use me
Anywhere, Lord, anytime!
I’m gonna pray so God can use me
Anywhere, Lord, anytime!
I’m gonna sing so God can use me
Anywhere, Lord, anytime!
“Lord Prepare Me” John Thompson/ Randy Scruggs
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true.
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living sanctuary for you.
“What Feathers the Nest”
“They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me;”
(John 14:21)
“While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them,
but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing
with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad.”
