HAPPY SABBATH + Lead Us Gently, Dear Savior! + PRAYER: Help Us To Walk Wisely!










We Sing With Relish 

"Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us 
Much We Need Thy Tenderest Care ...!" 

Are The Words Real In Our Hearts 
Or 
Are They Just Ink Stains On Nice Paper!?! 

Singing For Singing's Sake
Does Nothing For The Traveller On His Journey Home:
We Are Pilgrims And Strangers In A Strange Land!

We Are To Confidently Sing What We Believe 
And 
We Should Gratefully Give Praise And Thanks That 
Our Dear Savior Marks The Path 
And 
Makes It Plain For Us To Faithfully Follow After Him 
Without Fear 
And 
With Loving Fervor! 

By Contrast
Satan The Damned Slitheringly Follows After Us
Aka Dogs Our Steps 
Wherever We Are Disobediently Going!
 
Goat-Herders Follow 
Aka Chase After Disobedient, Known Own-Way, Goats 
Who Of Themselves Decide 
Where Their Shepherd Will Faithfully Follow After Them! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous
Is 
Our Shepherd Of Rest! 

Our Blessed Jesus ... Out-Front And Purposeful
Absolutely Knows Where He Is Leading His People
The Blessed Sheep Of His Verdant Pasture! 

Our Beloved Jesus
Is Not 
A Day's-Man Aka A Rent-A-Shepherd 
Who Bails On His Charges When Troubles Come! 
He Makes The Sure Way Safe 
And 
The Safe Way Sure! 
He Forgets Not His Own
Who Follow After Him By Choice!

No Paper Maps With Uncertain Marks Are Needed 
And 
The Every-Which-Way GPS System Of Fallen Man
Is 
Effectively Useless! 
The Only Way Is The Lord's Way To Surpassing Glory!

Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Loving Shepherd Who Also Created His Sheep
And
The Perfectly Positive Path For Our Feet
And 
The Perfect Place For Our Eternal Rest

And

We Can Never Go Astray
With Him Leading Us Gently On Our Way! 



PRAYER:

Lead Us, Heavenly Father
For
We Come In Faith, Nothing Wavering!

We Need Your Perfect Peace
And
Restorative Rest 
Your Sure Direction
Your Ready Provision
Your Able Protection
And 
Your Saving Correction! 
We Need You Now, Today!

You, Dear Lord
Are The Living Light That
Leads All Of Us Willing
To Eternal Life 
So, Please
For Undying Love
For Love Which Will Not Let Us Go
Help Us To Walk Wisely
In The Perfect Way
Which Will Never Lead Us
To Commit Sin And Be Made Ashamed!

Please Lead Us, Kindly Light
For Earth's Day Is Darkening Fast
And
We Need To Safely Reach Home
The Abode Of The Forever Blessed
Where Love Ever Lasts!

Of Our Known Sins, Father
Natural, Cultivated, And Besetting 
With The Humility Of True Repentance
With Contrite Hearts
We Confess!

Father,
We See Our Need
Of
Your Sure Salvation
And
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We, Bankrupt, Plead!
Please Forgive Us
And
Bless Us
And
Come For Us Soon!
We Love You!

AMEN!!!
