Be Thou My Vision

Dear Friends and Family,

May He be our Vision! Heart of our own hearts, whatever befall.

Let us seek His will, and be faithful to what he wants for our minds, hearts, and bodies!

Love,

The Canterberrys

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Brighten the Corner Where You Are

Dear Friends and Family,

There is a lot to do, but this song reminds me that how I look at things will make all the difference. You are all helping to lighten our burdens. God bless all of you!

Love,

The Canterberrys

Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar,
To the many duties ever near you now be true,
Brighten the corner where you are.

Refrain

Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar;
Brighten the corner where you are!

Just above are clouded skies that you may help to clear,
Let not narrow self your way debar;
Though into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer,
Brighten the corner where you are.

Refrain

Here for all your talent you may surely find a need,
Here reflect the bright and Morning Star;
Even from your humble hand the Bread of Life may feed,
Brighten the corner where you are.

Refrain

God on the Mountain

Dear Friends and Family,

The God of the good times is still God in the bad times. He is faithful! Let us trust in Him!

Love,

The Canterberrys

Life is easy, when you're up on the mountain
And you've got peace of mind, like you've never known.
But things change, when you're down in the valley.
Don't lose faith, for you're never alone.

For the God on the mountain, is the God in the valley.
When things go wrong, He'll make them right.
And the God of the good times
is still God in the bad times.
The God of the day is still God in the night.

We talk of faith way up on the mountain.
Talk comes so easy when life's at its best.
Now down in the valleys, of trials and temptations
That's where your faith, is really put to the test.

For the God on the mountain is the God in the valley.
When things go wrong, He'll make them right.
And the God of the good times
is still God in the bad times.
The God of the day, is still God in the night.
The God of the day, is still God in the night.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Dear Friends and Family,

Reading these words help me. Please pray for our endurance.

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD you God is with you wherever you go."

Lyrics

“Great is Thy faithfulness,”
O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!”
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Sing Forever

Dear Friends and Family,

We must trust in Him, believe on Him, believe in Him, love one another, and pray that His will be done. Below are the lyrics to this beautiful song. Please be inspired! We cannot let our faith die in the midst of uncertainty, or at any other time! He is the Truth, the Way, and the Life! Please pray for us! We will post a video and Scripture every day; our hope is that you will be blessed with undying faith in His infinite grace and mercy.

I will sing for you at the start of each day
I'll sing forever, sing for you
In all things I do in the dawn of my life
I'll sing forever, sing for you

Shutting out night, my life renewed
Happy for love that is to come
Opening eyes I'll follow you
Glad to see, glad to be yours

Echoing what you say
Echoing what you say
Shining out what you are
Shining out what you are
Out of dark, into your light

I will sing for you in the light of each day
I'll sing forever, sing for you
In all things I do at the noon of my life
I'll sing forever, sing for you

Shutting out night, my life renewed
Happy for love that is to come
Opening eyes I'll follow you
Glad to see, glad to be yours

Echoing what you say
Echoing what you say
Shining out what you are
Shining out what you are
Out of dark, into your light

I will sing for you at the end of each day
I'll sing forever, sing for you
In all things I do in the eve of my life
I'll sing forever, sing for you

I will sing for you each and every day
I'll sing forever, sing for you
In all things I do to the end of my life
I'll sing forever, sing forever

Sing
Sing
For
You
