God's son's become someone who'll run, or raise his people from their sicknesses and haze...



All those who set their eyes upon the law,
the perfect law of freedom, and respond
to truth in what they see, are strengthened for
experiencing bless-ed God beyond

one part of life to all the whole of it.
God's blessing is upon all that they do!
When sunrise comes they'll thank your role in it -
another day- with kindness that is true.

Your loving kindness to us is the best!!
And as the sun sets then all the night long,
as stars are travelling from East to West,
we will proclaim your faithfulness in song!

For those whose hope is in the Lord renew
their strength, though it appears to all be used.
They'll soar on wings like eagles; they will do
what seems impossible. Though not abused,

they'll run and not grow weary. Love gives strength.
They'll walk and not grow faint. Their boat will move
so quickly, or so slowly, that at length
they will arrive with signs that truly prove

their master is the maker of his world,
and he can walk on water, still the storm.
Empow'ring his own people, flag unfurled,
to do his bidding, 'sthough that is the norm!

If he is calling them to take his word,
then he will help them so to do his will.
And they will herald all that should be heard
& seen, before they sleep, or are fulfilled!


Those who set their eyes on the perfect law of freedom, and respond to the truth of what they hear, are strengthened by it-they experience God's blessing in all they do!! James 1:25 (PM Version)

When the sunrises we thank you Lord for another day- for your loving kindness to us!! And as the sun sets and all through the night we will keep proclaiming, "You are so faithful"!!  Psalms 92:2 (PM Version)

Those whose hope is in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint.  Isaiah 49:31 (PM Version)

Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. … He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, … Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. … They were completely amazed..  Mark 6:45‭, ‬48‭-‬48‭, ‬51 NIVUK

‘Lord, if it’s you,’ Peter replied, ‘tell me to come to you on the water.’   ‘Come,’ he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towards Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. ‘You of little faith,’ he said, ‘why did you doubt?’. Matthew 14:28‭-‬31 NIVUK

Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Go south to the road – the desert road – that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit told Philip, ‘Go to that chariot and stay near it.’  Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ Philip asked. ‘How can I,’ he said, ‘unless someone explains it to me?’ So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading: ‘He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.’  The eunuch asked Philip, ‘Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?’ Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. As they travelled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, ‘Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptised?’ And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptised him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and travelled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.  Acts 8:26‭-‬36‭, ‬38‭-‬40 NIVUK
