This I call to mind

and therefore I have hope:

Because of the Lords great love

we are not consumed,

for His compassion s never fail.

They are new every morning;

great is Your faithfulness.

I say to myself;

"the Lord is my portion 

therefore I will wait for Him"

Lamentations 3:21-24

King Of Love 

I Am They

The King of love;  My Shepherd is

His goodness  faileth never

I nothing lack, if I am His 

and He is mine forever..

Where streams of living water flow

my ransomed soul He leadeth

and where the verdant pastures grow 

with food celestial feedeth

Never failing, ruler of my heart

Everlasting, lover of my soul

on the mountain high

or in the valley low 

The King of love my Shepherd is..

Advocate

And I will ask the Father and He will give you another

and be with you forever

Then Jesus told him,

have believed"

You Are Good

Nicole Nordeman

When the sun starts to rise 
and I open my eyes

You are good,  so good.

In the heat of the day
 with every stone that I lay

You are good.. so good.

With every breath I take in 

I'll tell You,  I'm grateful again

When the moon climbs high

before each kiss goodnight

You are good.

.. I'll sing You a love song

it's all that I have

to tell You I'm grateful

for holding my life in Your hands.

With every breath I take in 

I'll tell You; 
I'm grateful again 

and the storm, it may swell, even then 

`it is well`

and You are good.

**

Taste and see that the Lord is good
Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.

Psalm 34:8
NIV

Evermore

From the Day 

I Am They

My love is Yours,  My heart is Yours,  My life is Yours 

Forever

Be Blessed

Gift

Strangely Dim

Francesca Battistelli

When I fix my eyes, on all that You are

then every doubt I feel, deep in my heart

grows strangely dim

All my worries fade and fall to the ground

When I seek Your face and don't look around

any place I'm in,  grows strangely dim..

I don't know what tomorrow may hold

but I know

that You're holding it all

So no matter what may come,

I'm gonna fix my eyes  on all that You are

till every doubt I feel grows strangely dim.

Let all my worries fade and fall to the ground

I'm gonna seek Your face

and not look around 

till the place I'm in grows strangely, 

strangely dim

The Lord is my shepherd.

I am never in need. 

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

 He leads me beside peaceful waters. 

He renews my soul.

 He guides me along the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name. 

Even though I walk through the dark valley of death, 

because You are with me, I fear no harm. 

Your rod and Your staff give me courage. 

You prepare a banquet for me...

 My cup overflows..

 Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life, 

and I will remain in the Lord’s house 

for days without end

Psalm 23:1-6

Herald

That night there were shepherds staying in the

fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep.

Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared among them,

and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them.

..the angel reassured them.

"Don't be afraid!" he said

"I bring you good news 

that will bring great joy to all people. 

The saviour - yes, the Messiah, the Lord -

has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!" (vs.8-11)

...And suddenly the angel was joined

by a vast host of others 

-the armies of heaven-

praising God and saying;

"Glory to God in highest heaven,

and peace on earth to those with whom

God is pleased".

Luke 2:8-11

Angels We Have Heard on High

anonymous

tr. by James Chadwick, pub.1862

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing over the plains,

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Glory to God in the Highest!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Glory to God in the Highest!

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord the newborn King.
