Facing Disasters

“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”
“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”
God’s Fountain, or Our Cisterns?

With other cisterns, we still thirst But not the waters, Jesus gives
Becomes a fountain, within us
Springing up, forever lives.
Rivers of Living Waters

And God warns by deserting
We become wayward people
As we drink, from broken cisterns
We commit two great evils.
Prune Me

Yes Lord, prune my branch
To be all You desire
For my longing and yearning
Is to lift You up, higher.
Prone To Wander

Yes, so strengthened in faith
That I pray, and not stray
Neither wander, nor slip
But only trust You, and obey.
Godliness with Contentment

Godliness, with contentment
Is truly great gain
We brought naught in this world
And we exit, the same.
Forgiving Others

if we forgive others
For their trespasses against us
Our Father forgives us
Will cleanse us, thro’ Jesus.
Facing the Furnace

As Daniel, and friends
Faced a fierce, fiery furnace
Said “Our God, can deliver
And if not, we still serve Him”.
Do You Respond This Way?

But instead, love your enemies
Do good, should they hate you
Bless them, that curse you
Pray for those, who despise you.
Deny Self and Be Filled

Jesus told us, deny self
And take up our cross
Come follow after Him
Count all else as loss.
