Each sister, each brother

Walking with Christ, our Lord

Supporting one another

With grace, arriving on board

 

Faith immersed in Christ’s Word

Trusting always His light

Revealing peace to be heard

Enemy’s darkness takes flight

 

Christ, faith’s firm foundation

Transforming every stone

Building path to salvation

Filled with hope, never alone

 

Believers marching on

Following in Christ’s steps

Witnessing Heaven’s fate drawn

Mercy knocks at each doorstep

 

Each sister, each brother

Sharing Christ’s Living Bread

Accepting one another

Called to serve with truth now fed

We would see Jesus, the great rock Foundation whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace. 

From Ezekiel 1:28:  “Like the bow in a cloud on a rainy day, such was the appearance of the splendor all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.“

Anna Bartlett Warner (1827-1915) was an American writer and poet.  Many of her poems were set to music.  One of her most famous hymns was “Jesus Loves Me.”

God’s invitation to pray

Strengthening faith’s shallow roots

Blessing hope’s journey each day

Harvesting heavenly fruit

 

God’s mercy never relents

Building faith’s firm foundation

Sending Christ as light unbent

Kindling peace in each nation

 

God’s energized light exhales

Writing faith’s eternal hymn

Witnessing Calvary’s nails

Deepening closeness to Him

 

God’s approaching grace descends

Filling faith’s heart to now trust

Raising His Son’s love to mend

Redeeming through actions just

 

God’s unselfish approach heals

Trusting righteousness to lead

Living waters now reveal

Transforming faith’s hardy seeds

Living a dark life of sin

Failing to follow God’s Word

Walking as slaves in the flesh

“Abandon your ways” . . . unheard

 

Falling, ignoring our Lord

Leaving Him for empty thoughts

Taking our path, darkness prowls

Sinful hunger calls the shots

 

Consumed by life in the flesh

There awaits a better way

God never abandons us

Offering His Grace each day

 

God gives Himself entirely

Spirit marches to our hearts

Delivers His greatest gift

God’s Son offers a fresh start

 

Christ becomes our foundation

Jesus walking where we walk

Exchanging His life for us

Shepherd gathering His flock

From John 3:16-17:  “For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life.  Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”

From 1 Peter 5:8-9:  “Discipline yourselves; keep alert.  Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.”

Stay alert, darkness lurks

Enemy remains at large

Believing in Savior’s strength

Faith in Him, taking charge

 

Faith sown with righteousness

Found in Christ’s merciful breath

Calling saints, wear His armor

Recall, Lord conquered death

 

Witness Calvary’s grace

Jesus suffers for man’s sins

Nailing each one to faith’s cross

His love shall always win

 

Hope’s perfect Good Shepherd

Always tending to His flock

Revealing glory’s goodness

Peace springs from faith’s bedrock

 

Hang on to faith’s Savior

Humble selves in mercy’s hands

Casting burdens upon Him

Heaven’s sunrise shall stand

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

From Psalm 18:2:  “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher.  He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.

The Lord’s immutable nature is the foundation of our faith.

From Hebrews 1:10-12:  “In the beginning, Lord, You founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands; they will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like clothing; like a cloak You will roll them up, and like clothing they will be changed.  But You are the same, and Your years will never end.”
