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!!!
