ADIEU : Phil and Sharon

Goodbye, It seems so final,

Through life we’ll say a few,

But really it is very hard

To say ‘Goodbye’ to you.

Now fifteen years of service,

We’ve grown in leap and bound,

With Bible based true preaching,

His Word was always found.

But now we must be parted,

Though pleased, our time we’ve had,

With you and Sharon leading,

To have known you, we’re all glad.

We know God’s hand is present,

He’ll lead and guide your way,

Especially as you trust him

And in His will obey.

So farewell Phil and Sharon,

We’ll often think of you,

But ‘Goodbye’ seems so final.

So we’ll just say ‘Adieu’.

The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

Addenda to 'Who is this man'

Who is this Man Addenda (in blue) to an anthem by Mary Kay Beall entitled Who is this Man? sung in my home church choir a few years ago. Who is this man upon a cross By love's decree, brought low? They say He came to save the world Because God loved us so The King of Kings And Lord of Lords Eternally He'll reign Can it be true He died for me And yes, would die again Who is this man upon the cross? He is a friend to me And though I oft Him disappoint His love has set me free The King of Kings And Lord of Lords He took my sin and pain And yes it's true He died for me, But will return again

A Father's Blessing
