Encouraging Exhortation

orchidee



Tune: Saffron Walden

(one tune to 'Just as I am')

Psalm 42 & 43 parts

***********

Why cast down, disquieted my soul?

Trust the Lord, He will make you whole

Hope you in Him, for yet I shall

Praise him, all will be well

 

Praise Him for help of His presence

Attune my will, my mind, my sense

Unto Him, focus, and align

I [am] His, and He is mine

 

He the health of my life, He be

All my salvation unto me

He my God, shall come to my aid

His Son my debt has paid

 

So shall I rise, for help He gives

Strength, encouragement, so each lives

To worship, serve, and glorify

The One who hears my cry

    Though you and me have a different god thing, your first two stanzas i applaud wholeheartedly though our ideas of praise may be quite quite different.

        Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ My Parents were Billy Graham Councellors and the Old Tune Billy used for the Altar Call still gives them goosepimples ! Their last BIG CRUSADE with BILLY was 1984 (I was one) in LIVERPOOL ! They persuded Cliff Barrows to let them sing *WALK ON WALK ON WITH CHRIST IN YOUR HEART .................. * my DAD said all the 40,000 in the stands (it was at ANFIELD !) joined in and waved their scarves ! Even the EVERTONIANS ! Thnaks for sharing the TUNE (fine ORGAN) and the POEM ~ to remind us to trust in the Lord at ALL TIMES

        Blessings to YOU & Your CUTE CANINE
        Love ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก
