A prayer

31/3/2020

Help me Saviour
I am so slow to learn
So prone to forget
So weak to climb
GIve me grace so there may be 
More decision in my character
More vigour in my purposes
More elevation in my life
More fervour in my devotion.
Amen

A reading: Psalm 130

From the depths of despair, O Lord,
    I call for your help.
2 Hear my cry, O Lord.
    Pay attention to my prayer.
3 Lord, if you kept a record of our sins,
    who, O Lord, could ever survive?
4 But you offer forgiveness,
    that we might learn to fear you.
5 I am counting on the Lord;
    yes, I am counting on him.
    I have put my hope in his word.
6 I long for the Lord
    more than sentries long for the dawn,
    yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord;
    for with the Lord there is unfailing love.
    His redemption overflows.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
    from every kind of sin.

New Living Translation (NLT)

A song: My worth is not in what I own

31/3/2020

Beautiful words to this one...
My worth is not in what I own
Not in the strength of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love 
At the cross
My worth is not in skill or name
In win or lose
In pride or shame
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
​At the cross...

Songs for the journey

10/3/2020

We've been spending some time as a community reading and learning from the psalms of ascent (Psalms 120-134) a section within the Old Testament book of psalms.

People think these were probably sung by pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem to the temple for one of the three big Jewish festivals each year. They touch on many issues that parallel our travels through life to our ultimate home with God forever.

Here's one we are thinking about this week on the theme of humility.

Psalm 131
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
​
1 Lord, my heart is not proud;
    my eyes are not haughty.
I don’t concern myself with matters too great
    or too awesome for me to grasp.
2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,
    like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk.
    Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, put your hope in the Lord--
    now and always.
