Momentous Hierarchy


 It's Monday just in case you are having trouble remembering! ugh!!
Night shattered in a myriad of masterpieces...



To stand tall we must bow
To run well we must kneel
What is past happens now
Interlaced silk and steel
Forge a momentous wheel

To live well we must die
To be strong we must break
To be rich we must try
To give more than we take
So much future at stake

To succeed is to fall
But to get right back up
Life’s bucking bronc is small
Compared to mercy’s cup
So heave-ho and hup-hup

To hold on we must reach
To let go we must trust
To learn, Someone must teach
(We never outgrow Must)
Till
Soul to God, dust to dust

Praying for true strength today...

 That is why, 
for Christ's sake, 
I delight 
in weaknesses,
 in insults, 
in hardships, 
in persecutions, 
in difficulties. 
For when I am weak,
 then I am strong.

2 Cor. 12:10



This song was my leaning post exactly half a year ago 
when we suddenly bid farewell to one of our beloved pastors
Ron Seabrooke

who knew many 'greater burdens and added affliction'

Another hymn of hope for these dark days...

Gone, But Not Forgotten


(gone, but not forgotten)
then we will attend a wedding where starry-eyed Young Man and Woman will
commit their lives to each other till death doth part. 



May we live with the consciousness of the Shadow of Death
and honour life's Giver with every breath.
 for we never know when we or someone we love will be gone...

Gone beyond the blue horizon
Gone beyond the strait called time
No more guessing or surmising
Death unveils the last Great Climb

Gone while we remain to wonder
What yet waits for you and me
When the gates part over yonder
To begin eternity

Gone where there is no returning
To prepare to meet the Lord
When the end of this life’s journey
Rends the veil to the reward

Changed from mortal to immortal
In the twinkling of an eye
Gone from earth to that Great Portal
Where the soul will never die

 Let your light so shine before men,
 that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father in heaven.
