Faithful One

Faithful One so unchanging
Ageless One You’re my rock of peace
Lord of all I depend on You
I call out to You, again and again
I call out to You, again and again

You are my rock in times of trouble
You lift me up when I fall down
All through the storm
Your love is the anchor
My hope is in You alone


Not sure why it is that song lyrics are speaking to me at the moment. But this morning travelling to the office I put on one of the Best Ever Worship Song CDs, and belted out some Be Thou My Vision etc at full blast as I sped (at legal speeds) through the glorious sunshine and north east hills. Then this song came on - these words are simple but powerful.

Faithful, unchanging, ageless, rock, anchor, hope - this is indeed the Lord I know.

And today as I looked around the scenery of where I live - I can see him everywhere. I love the Moray/Banffshire area - it is simply beautiful. Especially at the moment - everything is basking in sunshine and the fields are lush with new life. When I see God's creation like this - I ponder yet again - how can they say there is no God? Can't they see him? - there! and there! and look there!!!

(pic is not of the glorious weather we are having today - but it is of the route I take to the office - I have 'borrowed' it from the Moray Council website)

Pretty Amazing Grace - Neil Diamond

Pretty amazing grace is what You showed me
pretty amazing grace is who You are
I was an empty vessel
You filled me up inside
and with amazing grace restored my pride

Pretty amazing grace is how You saved me
and with amazing grace reclaimed my heart
love in the midst of chaos
calm in the heat of war
showed with amazing grace what love was for

You forgave my insensitivity
and my attempt to then mislead You
You stood beside a wretch like me
Your pretty amazing grace was all I needed.

Stumbled inside the doorway of Your chapel
humbled and awed by everything I found
beauty and love surround me
freed me from what I fear
ask for amazing grace and You appear

You overcame my loss of hope and faith
gave me a truth I could belive in
You led me to a higher place
showed Your amazing grace
when grace was what I needed

look in a mirror I see Your reflection
open a book You live on every page
I fall and You're there to lift me
share every road I climb
and with amazing grace You ease my mind

Came to You with empty pockets
first when I returned I was rich man
didn't believe love could quench my thirst
but with amazing grace
You showed me that it can

In Your amazing grace I had a vision
from that amazing place I came to be
into the night I wandered wandering aimlessly
found Your amazing grace to comfort me.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Celine Dion

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last till the end of time my love
And would last till the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies
