Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
By: Charles Wesley
Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my god and King,
The triumphs of his grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of your name.
The name of Jesus charms our fears
And bids our sorrows cease,
Sings music in the sinner’s ears,
Brings life and health and peace.
He breaks the power of canceled sin;
He sets the prisoner free.
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avails for me.
Look to the Lord, who did atone
For sin, O fallen race.
Look and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.
See all our sins on Jesus laid;
The Lamb has made us whole.
His soul was once an offering made
For every human soul.
To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever given
By saints below and saints above
The Church in earth and heaven.
Hymn # 276 from Lutheran Worship

AMEN Dave!
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your friend, Rus. I am sorry you weren’t able to be with the family when his Time came, but you will share love with them tomorrow, when their grief is not overbearing.
Thanks Yorkie, I don’t even know what happened yet.
I am sure I will find out then.
The oldies are the BEST! :-)
It’s wonderful Melissa’s faith is still bearing fruit.

Thank you Ladies.
Sam was a hard working property owner and hardware/rental store owner.
He was 78 and owned that store for 55 years from sun up to sundown, 6 days a week.
He struggled with the dying real estate market and economy here in Buffalo.
He had hoped to retire years ago but his retirement was in his holdings.
This area has never really come back after years in the dumps.
We suffer even worse in hard economic times, and never seem to be able to fight back.
Politics, corrupt government, favoritism and all around messing with
businesses around here are the problem.
I think I will find out he died from a stress related ailment like heart attack or massive stroke.
I loved Sam, he was a fighter that’s why we got along so well.
G’Night Meg, God Bless my FRiend.
It’s Monday, ugh another week to get through. Ortho this afternoon.
But I know where I’ll be going one day.
I’m going home with Jesus

When my daughter Debbie was a little girl, she took ballet lessons. One dance exercise involved jumping over a rolled-up gym mat. Debbie’s first attempt resulted in her bouncing off this hurdle. For a moment she sat on the floor stunned, and then she began to cry. Immediately, I darted out to help her up and spoke soothing words to her. Then, holding her hand, I ran with her until she successfully jumped over the rolled-up mat. Debbie needed my encouragement to clear that hurdle.
While working with Paul on his first missionary journey, John Mark faced a major hurdle of his own: Things got tough on the trip, and he quit. When Barnabas tried to re-enlist Mark for Paul’s second journey, it created conflict. Barnabas wanted to give him a second chance, but Paul saw him as a liability. Ultimately, they parted ways, and Barnabas took Mark with him on his journey (Acts 15:36-39).
The Bible is silent about John Mark’s response when Barnabas helped him over his ministry hurdle. However, he must have proven himself, because Paul later wrote that John Mark “is useful to me for ministry” (2 Tim. 4:11).
When we see a believer struggling with an apparent failure, we should provide help. Can you think of someone who needs your help to clear a hurdle?
Read: Acts 15:36-41
“Only the truth that in life we have spoken,
Only the seed that on earth we have sown;
These shall pass onward when we are forgotten,
Fruits of the harvest and what we have done. —Bonar
A fruitful harvest requires a faithful life.
