Blessed are they whose strength is in you (is in you)

We see His graces yet
For righteousness and peace they kiss

We are helped, not forsook

Great write - now how about destitute praises?
Thanks Michael. I got an idea: 'Destitute Praises' such as being on Ilkley Moor this weather without a hat (b'ah tat) or coat. You got that hat for a walk on that Moor?!
