Daily I am faced with arrows of temptation My flesh is weak and unwilling I look at my reflection in the mirror I am filled with shame at my wickedness Lord I long for Your daily washing of my soul I long for the life-giving tears to wash my sin away Daily the world wishes to defeat my flesh But Lord I cling to Your Word made Flesh I fall prostrate before your throne Crying out Abba Father, Your will not my own Lord I cry out for your boldness I cry out to be scorched with the Flame of Life Daily my flesh fails me and makes a deceiver of me I thank You Lord that Your Spirit has overcome The poison of the world’s arrow is dull I will not be afraid or dismayed, I hand over to You Lord
I pray you’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go. And help us to be wise in times when we don’t know. Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way. Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace To a place where we’ll be safe.
La luce che tu dai Nel cuore restera A ricordarci che L’eterna stella sei.
I pray we’ll find your light, And hold it in our hearts When stars go out each night, Remind us where you are..
Nella mia preghiera Quanta fede c’e. Lead us to a place ?
Let this be our prayer When shadows fill our day Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.
Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza, Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza. Ognuno dia una mano al suo vicino, Simbolo di pace…di fraternita.
La forza che ci dai E desiderio te Ognuno trovi amor Intorno e dentro se. Let this be our prayer, Just like every child.
We ask that life be kind And watch us from above. We hope each soul will find Another soul to love. Let this be our prayer, Just like every child.
Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace Give us faith so we’ll be safe E la fede che hai acceso in noi Sento che ci salverai…
Wishing a peaceful and joyful Christmas to each and every one of my readers and followers.
May the lyrics of this song be the blessings in your life this special time.
What an Amazing contribution and idea to help support Christchurch in her time of need. Thank you Cassie and all the other people who are helping to put this together.
I spent 6 months living in this beautiful city. Christchurch and the generous, courageous spirit of the people of Christchurch will always have a special place in my heart.
This is a city built on faith, strength and fortitude. Two days ago the foundations at the core of this city shook and Christchurch underwent another massive natural disaster just 6 months after the earthquake in September 2010.
Where many other people of cities would have fled for the hills caring only for the safety of their own, Christchurch has banded together with the courage and generosity particular to the Cantabrians and helped one another. Strangers are taking the time to search for missing people and other strangers are taking in homeless people.
This is a city that may have been shaken to fall on her knees but she is not down and she is not defeated. Christchurch will persist in getting to her feet and rebuilding the city that is so dear and near to so many hearts.
The news coverage throughout the last few days has portrayed stories of ordinary people turned heroes and of selfless strangers doing everything in their power to help their neighbour, their friend, a stranger.
The people of New Zealand and the world who watch stand in awe of the stoic courage and hope that the Christchurch people have shown in the face of great calamity.
This is my prayer and hope for Christchurch, a city very dear to my heart that is home to some of my favourite people…
“Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by.” (Psalm 57:1) Lifting up Christchurch in prayer tonight…May your strength and hope shine through and may it be a beacon to the rest of us. May God be with you all. May the Lord still the earth beneath your feet. May He strengthen your foundations. May those that are trapped be sheltered under the Lord’s wings and kept safe til they can be rescued…May those who are waiting to hear be comforted and strengthened…May those who are scared be encouraged to know that many, many prayers are being lifted up for your city in this hour of her need. And a special prayer for strength and endurance for those brave rescuers amongst fire-fighters, paramedics, police, military, medical staff and good Samaritans.
Christchurch – May God be your foundation as the ground’s foundations tremble beneath your feet.
