Things in our country and even our world seem to be spiraling, don't they?
Just a reminder that if you know Jesus as Savior (and if you don't, or don't
know what that means CLICK HERE) that this is all temporary, and leading
up to His return!
It brought this song to mind-I hope the words bring you comfort!
Years of time have come and gone Since I first heard it told How Jesus would come again some day If back then it seemed so real Then I just can’t help but feel How much closer His coming is today
Signs of the times are everywhere There’s a brand new feeling in the air Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh
Wars and strife on every hand And violence fills the land Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again But the Word of God is true He’ll redeem His chosen few Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus will descend
Signs of the times are everywhere There’s a brand new feeling in the air Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh
These words have been very meaningful to me of late...hope they bless you too

Anyone who knows me really well, knows that my favorite hymn is
Be Thou My Vision.
I never heard it until we attended Community Fellowship Church a few years back.
But once I heard it, it touched my heart deeply, and I've loved it ever since.
It's a very old Irish hymn, with lyrics dating back to the 8th century.
The music was published in 1909.
Here are the lyrics:
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul's Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
In church today, the men were speaking of the importance of our music in worship. And, how the Christian faith (believers in Jesus Christ) have the absolute best and melodious music, because it glorifies GOD.
This song sprang to my mind, and, I thought I'd do a little post on it this Lord's Day.
Here's a link to a lovely instrumental of it.
(just turn my music off at the bottom of the page first)
