The Holy Alphabet

Although things are not perfect

Because of trial or pain

Continue in thanksgiving

Do not begin to blame

Even when the times are hard

Fierce winds are bound to blow

God is forever able

Hold on to what you know

Imagine life without His love

Joy would cease to be

Keep thanking Him for all the things

Love imparts to thee

Move out of 'Camp Complaining'

No weapon that is known

On earth can yield the power

Praise can do alone

Quit looking at the future

Redeem the time at hand

Start every day with worship

To 'thank' is a command

Until we see Him coming

Victorious in the sky

We'll run the race with gratitude

Xalting God most high

Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...

Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

The Little Chapel in the Dell

The bells were softly pealing in the chapel in the dell; Their message, "Come and worship, God is with us - all is well."

I heard the organ playing as I watched the candles glow, The choir thus was singing, "Jesus loves me, this I know."

My heart was heavy laden as my soul was stained with... sin, Twas then I prayed for courage so that I might enter in.

Someone then came to greet me, Yes, as I walked through the door, I felt a peace within me like I'd never known before.

I heard the preacher's message of the cross and Calvary; God sent His Son to save us, Thus, He died to set man free.

The alter call was given and I wondered, should I go? I heard His still voice whisper "Come unto Me, I love you so."

I'm glad I heard the message in the chapel in the dell; No longer am I laden, God is with me, all is well.

[Mary E. Herrington]

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, a wonderful savior to me; He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, where rivers of pleasure I see. He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock that shadows a dry thirsty land; He hideth my life in the depths of His love, and covers me there with His hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, He taketh my burden away; He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved, He giveth me strength for each day. He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock that shadows a dry thirsty land; He hideth my life in the depths of His love, and covers me there with His hand.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns, and, filled with His fullness divine, I sing in my rapture, “O glory to God for such a Redeemer is mine!” He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock that shadows a dry thirsty land; He hideth my life in the depths of His love, and covers me there with His hand.

It Is Well With My Soul

Words: Ho­ra­tio G. Spaf­ford, 1873.

This hymn was writ­ten af­ter ma­jor trau­mas in Spaf­ford’s life. The first was the great Chi­ca­go Fire of Oc­to­ber 1871, which ru­ined him fi­nan­cial­ly (he had been a weal­thy bus­i­ness­man). Before the fire, Spafford also experienced the loss of his son. Short­ly af­ter the fire, while cross­ing the At­lan­tic, all four of Spaf­ford’s daugh­ters died in a col­li­sion with an­o­ther ship. Spaf­ford’s wife Anna sur­vived and sent him the now fa­mous tel­e­gram, “Saved alone.” Sev­er­al weeks lat­er, as Spaf­ford’s own ship passed near the spot where his daugh­ters died, the Ho­ly Spir­it in­spired these words. They speak to the eter­nal hope that all be­liev­ers have, no mat­ter what pain and grief be­fall them on earth.
