Sunday Hymn - My Soul Longs for the Lord

My Soul Longs for the Lord

My soul longs for the Lord in a weary land 
Wells are dry and I am empty, only dust in my hands
How I yearn for streams of mercy where my soul can be restored
“Come and drink” Jesus calls me, and you will thirst no more”
Oh the fullness of Christ, Word of God.

Living Word you walked among us, our Emmanuel
And you spoke into the darkness, broke the powers of hell
Grace and mercy flowed from Calvary, to the valley of our need
It is done, “It is finished,” From every sin set free
Oh the victory of Christ, Word of God, Word of life

 How often in the stillness have I heard your voice
 Every whisper, every promise calls my heart to rejoice
 In the quiet of the morning, through the watches of the night
 In the fire of my struggles, there’s courage for the fight
 Oh the power of Christ, Word of God, Word of life

 My soul longs to walk closer with the Lord I serve
 More than riches, more than favour I delight in Your Word
 Turn my gaze from all that’s worthless, set my heart on things above
 May my life tell of your goodness, Your way of truth and love
 Oh the wisdom of Christ, Word of God, Word of life

 My soul longs for the day I will see your face
 Hear Your shout of jubilation, no more tears, death or pain
 Every word at last accomplished, Heaven songs and earth replies
 To our God be the glory let all creation cry
 Praise and honour to Christ, Word of God, Word of life

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's story:   When
