Precious Name

 PRECIOUS NAME

by 

Lydia Baxter

Take the name of Jesus with you,

Child of sorrow and of woe;

It will joy and comfort give you;

Take it then where'er you go.

Refrain:

Precious name, oh how sweet!

Hope of Earth and joy of Heav'n.

Precious name, oh how sweet!

Hope of Earth and joy of Heav'n.

Take the name of Jesus ever,

As a shield from ev'ry snare;

If temptations round you gather,

Breathe that holy name in prayer. [Refrain]

Oh! the precious name of Jesus,

How it thrills our souls with joy,

When his loving arms receive us,

And his songs our tongues employ. [Refrain]

At the name of Jesus bowing,

Falling prostrate at his feet,

King of kings in Heav'n we'll crown him,

When our journey is complete. [Refrain]

Psalm 95:1

 

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; 

let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

Hand of God

 God's miracles are to be found in nature itself;

 the wind and waves, 

the wood that becomes a tree - all of these are explained biologically, 

but behind them is the hand of God.

- Ronald Reagan

 

Soren Kierkegaard - Out of Nothing

God creates out of nothing. Wonderful, you say. 

Yes, to be sure, but He does what is still more wonderful: 

he makes saints out of sinners.

1 John 1:8-9

Character is not built by a succession of sunny days 

or by continuous victory.

 It takes defeat to bring us, 

victorious, back into the sun again.
