On Sunday we sang this hymn- one of my favourites, mainly for the words, but also the tune [Beethoven's 9th - used also for the EU anthem]
Be the God of all my Sundays,
be the focus of my praise;
It is you I choose to honour
on this special day of days.
God who made me, God who saved me,
with your people I belong
As we come to hear you speaking
and to join our hearts in song.
Be the God of all my Mondays:
let my lifestyle make you known;
Give me courage in confession
when for you I stand alone.
Be my God through work and leisure,
rest and travel, day and night;
Let me keep a clear awareness
of a life lived in your sight.
Be the God I serve and worship
day by day, throughout the week,
God whose flawless care sustains me,
God whose guiding word I seek.
Be my God through ev’ry moment,
ev’ry circumstance I face,
God of life in its completeness,
God of holy, daily grace
Singing this helps me refocus on What Really Matters.
Plus the promise of Jeremiah 29:11 “I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord....plans to give you a hope and a future"

I wake up every morning with the knowledge that most of my elected officials don’t renpresent me. It is frustrating. Love the hymn.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the words of this hymn before-they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis whole Brexit thing is a disaster.
ReplyDeleteCould be worse, Angela, you could be living in Scotland!!
ReplyDeleteI like that hymn. Thank you for sharing the words with us, Angela.
ReplyDeleteWe ended up with Claire Fox as our lead MEP in the North West. I wonder how many people looked into the things she has said before they cast their vote for the Brexit Party? She's someone who said the IRA were justified in bombing Warrington, an act that killed 2 children ( though she now says she no longer holds that view- something that, in my opinion, doesn't make matters any better) and that people should not be banned from viewing child pornography online.
ReplyDeleteThis too will pass. As someone who spent several years in the uk and still has a sister there, I have enormous confidence that whatever form of BREXIT occurs, you will make a success of it. So there! Cheers
