You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. ~Psalm 18:28
We come before You
In wonder and worship
Expectant in every sense
For You are about
To do great things
We stand, awaiting Your Word
Spoken, reveals
The light, darkness
Flees before Your presence
Naught can stand
Against the power
Of almighty love
Come, Lord Jesus,
Restore and heal
Your city on the hill.
Amen!
Wonderful. Thanx Martha.

OH YES! Amen! Praise the Lord! We stand in readiness, awaiting His command, and watching for His entrance back into our world to catch us all away...and then the real LIGHT will be shining in the darkness for ALL the world to see. Praying many will come to His light now before it is too late for them.

Abraham was as good as dead, yet "he believed God and it was counted unto him as righteousness. "
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.

I add my prayer to others here and elsewhere: May God indeed restore and heal our land, that we might be the city on a hill we once were, whose trust is in God as it says on our coins.
