Now more than ever - v2


Now more than ever
we must stand with Ukraine
in this crucible, in this moment,
staring at the terror, at the chaos he wrought,
in the eyes of the dogs of war, in the utter destruction,
seeking to deny their existence as a state.

Now more than ever
we must stand resolute with them,
with their president, with their people,
to go, to be with them in this moment, this hour,
to give feet to our promise, our commitment to them,
written in blood, in treasure, a year ago.

Now more than ever
our support cannot flag, must not wane,
we cannot turn from this sacred duty,
to Ukraine, to her people, to democracy itself;
We must help her fight the horde, the aggressor,
to defeat Russia until victory is won.

Now more than ever
in this crucible, in this moment,
staring at the terror, at the chaos he wrought,
in the dogs of war, in the utter destruction,
seeking to deny their existence as a state.

 

Now more than ever
needing to stand resolute with them,

to give feet to our promise, our commitment to them,
written in blood, in treasure, a year ago.

God's redemptive power


Talking about Mardi gras, the Big Easy,
but also about Aaron's singing,
the power in the story, in the words,
God's Amazing Grace.

Words to calm, to comfort,
assuring us of a future,
God's redemptive power
to save a wretch like me.

I am but a sheep - v2

I am but a sheep
and the Lord is surely my shepherd;
I join David in his fervent prayer,
breathing my covenant to God.
 
I am but a sheep
a fearful member of the flock;
I struggle to be faithful, willful,
to trust fully in the sovereignty of God.
 
I am but a sheep
but God provides for me fully,
all my needs and wants, my desires;
I am safe in God's loving arms.
 
I am but a sheep
and I know how much I need Him;
I fall down on my knees
and praise God as my Savior
