All the way my Savior leads me (an old and precious Hymn)


All the way my Savior leads me
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell
For I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Savior leads me.
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing for the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A Spring of joy I see.


All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father's house above.
When my spirit, clothesd immortal,
Wings its flight to realms ot day
This my song through endless ages;
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song thoruhg endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.

Forever thankful....


I remember listening to the song Amazing Grace as a young girl and thought, "what a pretty melody." Now I listen to the words and my heart leaps for joy because these words echo my own testimony of God's mercy on my life.


I am forever thankful for Jesus and His faithfullness to me and my family. I am a new person because of Him and I share my new life with a wonderful godly man and two beautiful children who have a special love for Jesus.


I am forever thankful for His patience with me as He continues to mold me and change me.


I am forever thankful for the gift of His Holy Spirit that dwells within me and restores my soul, teaches me the riches of His Word, and comforts the deep hurts of my soul.


I am forever thankful for His sacrifice that paid for all my sins on the cross.


I am forever thankful for His faithfulness to provide our daily needs and abundant many blessings.


I am forever thankful for the Godly mentors and family He has surrounded our home with.


I am forever thankful for each breath He has given me and each morning He brings out the sun to give us a new day.


I am forever thankful for His guidance, His provision, His leading, His wisdom, His care, His love, His joy, His WORD, His thoughtfullness, His generosity, His mercy, His grace, His holiness......


....yes it would take eternity to thank Him for all He has done! Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me...I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see!

Psalm 101

I will walk with Integrity

A Psalm of David

I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you O Lord,
I will make music.
I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me?
I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;
I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. A perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will know nothing of evil.
Whosoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy.
Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure.
I will look with labor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way is blameless shall minister to me. No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.
Morning by morning I will destroy all of the wicked of the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
