So Many Reasons To Rejoice

 Grace and Peace to you from God, Our Father

Fernando Ortega


2 Peter 1:2-4
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
 3as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,
 through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
 4by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises,
 that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature,
 having escaped the [c]corruption that is in the world through lust.

Is fresh as a flow’r from bud’s bower borne 
While the clock winds down Time’s seasons of sand 

No one can overthrow Ruler of all 
No matter what, Lord, Thy will, will be done 

You never falter, Your love does not fail 

While here we bear birth and death’s in-between 
Lord, you invite all to, ‘come unto Thee’ 
Forbid we settle for something we see 


Then let us put on a garment of praise 
Let us forever rejoice in the Lord 

© Janet Martin 

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
    love and faithfulness go before you.
 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
    who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
 They rejoice in your name all day long;
    they celebrate your righteousness.
 For you are their glory and strength,...

Psalm 89:14-17


though all else changes...never God!
