Welcome


"Through Eternity"
God made the rivers that flow to the sea...
He formed the grand mountains and mighty trees.
God made the darkness, but then He made light...
the sun to rule day, the moon to rule night.
Whenever I gaze at the stars up above...
there's a glimmer of hope
from the great God of love.
You may not move mountains
or roar like the sea...
You may be alone or need to be free.
But live like the person, that you want to be...
For you will go on through eternity.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:1
"And God said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind whose seed is in itself upon the earth; and it was so." Genesis 1:11

U

Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God even stuck U in the name of His son.
And each time U pray-you’ll see it true-
You can’t spell out JesUs and not include U.
You’re a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U He was born that’s why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died,
It even takes U to spell crUcified.
Isn’t it thrilling and splendidly grand-
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan.
The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.
When Jesus left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
Go into the world and tell them it’s true
That I love them all-
Just like I love U.
So many great people are spelled with a U
Don’t they have a right to know JesUs too?
It all depends now on what U will do,
He’d like them to know-
But it all starts with U.
JESUS

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets."
Matt. 22:37-40

"The Promise"
There's a promise in our sorrow and a blessing when we sigh.
There's a light beyond the shadows and a cleansing when we cry.
So when we are discouraged, and face tremendous grief;
it is during those times of trouble, that the heavens send relief.
With our heart in tune with Jesus, our source of joy and peace,
be mindful of His promise, that all suffering He would cease.
He's cried our tears of sadness; He's felt our every pain,
He's walked our path before, all glory to His name.
Just listen for the spirit, as it whispers to be still,
for there is joy and comfort beyond sad Calvary's hill.
So if the sky should darken and if the earth should quake,
remember life has struggles on the journey that we take.
The aftermath of sorrow is beauty and pure light,
if we can fight the battle and pray with soul and might.
He sent us rainbow colors to follow cleansing rain,
He showed us there are miracles that come with all the pain.
Seek forbearance in the hardships, or when we fear or roam.
Cast your burdens on the Savior, and He'll come and take us home.
For He is our great Redeemer our only true best friend,
He promised he would never leave, He'll guide us to the end.
