Both Banner And Anchor




Circumstance,
such as what my husband's cousins family is faced with 
would crush without
The Greatest Love of all which grants
grace for the trial, strength from above
unfailing sympathy, undying love!

The dad of the young man that was killed
encourages the other young man involved
 to use this 'mistake' as a steppingstone, not a millstone'...

I know I shared this song pretty recently but it bears repeating!



A banner of pure gold unfurled above the stirring land
Enlarges over the whole world mercy’s First in Command
Where steadfast rise and fall of storms that mortal subject braves
Without God’s Greatest Love of All would drown us in its waves

The Light that lights the world is greater than dawn’s flaming flare
And though like rain our tears are pearled on petals curled with care
From fathoms without frame Love’s abiding promises roll
Hope rides upon dread's lethal main that fain would crush the soul

The power of His might no other force can apprehend
The hour’s unfazed appetite no man or beast can bend
The tie that binds its sum no frantic fingers can undo
Where what is gathered will become the dust of me and you

…then look where morning breaks through yonder bars of darksome deep
Our Greatest love never forsakes the charges in His keep
No matter what befalls where loosened tempests toss and seethe
The power of the cross installs Hope’s anchorage beneath

 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, 
a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
