Thou Art Mine

~

When Thou passest thru the waters,

Thou art Mine!

They shall never overflow thee,

Thou art Mine!

Tho thou walkest in the fire,

And it seeketh to devour

Thou art precious in My sight, child,

Thou art Mine!

~

Everyone that's called by My name,

They are Mine!

They're created for My glory,

They are Mine!

I have chosen them to serve

And My holy name preserve.

They are precious in My sight, yes,

They are Mine!

~

I will do a new thing for them

That are Mine!

In the desert send them waters,

That are Mine!

Fear not then, for I am there,

And they path, 'twas planned with care,

For I love them, Oh, I love them

That are Mine!

If we could see beyond today

If we could see beyond today

As God can see,

If all the clouds should roll away,

The shadows flee;

O'er present griefs we would not fret,

Each sorrow we would soon forget,

For many joys are waiting yet

For you and me.

If we could know beyond today

As God doth know

Why dearest treasures pass away,

And tears must flow,

And why the darkness leads to light,

Why dreary days will soon grow bright,

Some day life's wrongs will be make right;

Faith tells us so.

If we could see, if we could know,

We often say,

But God in love veil doth throw

across our way;

We can not see what lies before,

And so we cling to Him the more,

He leads us till this life is o'er,

Trust and Obey!

Over at Hskubes, there is a contest going on, so click here to join in the fun :)

Happy Birthday DAD!!!

We love You!!

Hi, Here is what we've been doing this week. On Sunday, it was Gospel Baptist's (where we go.) 41st anniversary. So we had a special preacher, and afterwards we had lunch at the fellowhip hall. (The food was really delicious:) They didn't have Sunday night service that night. So we went and heard my Papaw Fox preach. We really enjoyed hearing him preach. On Monday, we did school and went to our cousins' Coty and Levi's house. Grace and Hannah really enjoyed playing with them. That night, Grace, Hannah, and I went to Calvary Baptist's Vacation Bible School. It was about "rescue." The teenagers learned how to do "CPR." Afterwards, we sang in the youth choir, ate snacks, and had a Bible lesson. We went back yesterday night too. This time we learned how to do the "Heimlech maneuver." Then we did the same things as the night before. We really enjoyed going to their Vacation Bible School. (It was a lot of fun.)

Tomorrow, is our Dad's birthday :)

So I will be posting more tomorrow.
