     A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
    A wonderful Savior to me;
    He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
    Where rivers of pleasure I see.
        Refrain:
        He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
        That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
        He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
        And covers me there with His hand,
        And covers me there with His hand.
    A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
    He taketh my burden away,
    He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
    He giveth me strength as my day.
    With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
    And filled with His fullness divine,
    I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God!
    For such a Redeemer as mine.
    When clothed with His brightness transported I rise
    To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
    His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
    I’ll shout with the millions on high.

Hunger and Thirst for His Righteousness

Hunger and Thirst for His Righteousness

 People go on doing the things they've always done,
As if they had a bright future
And all the time in the world left
In which to do their "thing."
And yet, who will speak for the voiceless?
Fight justice against oppression?
Who will remember the hungry bellies
And equally hungry hearts?

Will a "bucket list" for this year's earthly pleasures,
Seeing how many exotic activities a person can reach,
Take the place of seeing souls
That bring to the Lord each other's needs?
Will having that temporary fling –
Buying more new shoes or something other pinteresting –
Pave the way for "godliness with
Contentment is great gain"?

Ah, Lord God, may I truly hear your voice --
And see the tears of the crying and broken.
May I rejoice with those experiencing God's joy.
May I heed the voice of your Shepherd,
Your Holy Christ and His Spirit.
Then may you satisfy my earthly needs (not wants),
And flood my heart to bursting,
Fill me up inside, with You:
For I hunger and thirst after righteousness.
