Tune: All that thrills my soul is Jesus
('Who can cheer the heart like Jesus?')
Psalm 103 v.1-8 parts
********
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all
That is in me on Him call
Bless His holy name for ever
Forget His goodness never
Chorus
As heaven is above earth high
Great is His mercy, yet night
As far as east is from the west
He removes our sins, we blest
He who does all your sins forgive
Now in His sight you may live
He who heals all your diseases
To do so it Him pleases - Chorus
Redeems your life from destruction
Crowns you with mercies, each one
Loving kindness and tenderness
It be His intent to bless - Chorus
He satisfies you with good things
Food, drink, clothing to you brings
Your youth like the eagle's renewed
He has favoured and you viewed - Chorus
He be merciful and gracious
Slow to anger unto us
Plenteous in mercy, abounds
Praise here unto Him resounds - Chorus

Blessings to You & Your Praising Pooch
Spirit Love Angela - Brian & El Gato Ahumido ! ! !
Thanks A&B, How's that weather there?
HI UNCLES STEVE - ANGELA HERE 20C (68F) DRY & SUUNY ~ Ideal for Sailing - Been out this Morning in the ALBACOR (very safe 7 steady craft ) I guess its similar in BERKS (good County) for FIDO. Brian is bening ultra careful he wants to be 100% for work next week. We are staying with Bob & Ruth ( COVID Free Zone) who are keen sailors. We both wear MASKS in Shops & Bars etc but NOT when Sailing. Poem about COWES (IOW) tomorrow !
Blessings & Joy to YOU & YOUR Practical Pooch
Spirit Love ANGELA - BRIAN - El Gato Ahumido ! ! !
Glad it's perked up for you. The weather was decidedly uninviting the couple of days before you arrived there, if it was similar to Berkshire.
Thanks - Uncle Steve ! Wherever we GO - Angela & I bring a Ray of Sunshine - Even to Royal Berkshire although its a bit far Inland for US. We both enjoy Essex & Suffolk because They have lots of Coast & Good Sailing. I loved AUCKLAND NZ because we could Sail All Year Round especially Christmas Day which paradoxically was in the Middle of Summer - Made Partying a lot easier ! It never snows in Sub-tropical Auckland and @ Midday the temperature seldom drops below 12C (54F) warm enough for Sailing. In the UK (Even COWES) First November to First March can be a little too chilly but there are always *Fools who rush in where ANGELAS fear to SAIL !*
Blessings & Much Joy to YOU & Happy HOUND
Spirit Love - Angela - Brian & El Gato Bueno ! ! !
