Bell Choir Sunday! This first one was pretty easy. Hymn of Grateful Praise, which is a medly of "For the Beauty of the Earth," and "All Things Bright and Beautiful."
Our second song was a lot harder, but we got it pretty good. This is "On Eagle's Wings," a moving and powerful song that was written in the 1970s and is based on Psalm 91, Exodus 19:4, Isaiah 40:31. I'll put the words after the video.
On Eagle's Wings by Michael Joncas
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust."
Chorus:
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
Chorus
You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.
Chorus
For to His angels He's given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways,
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Chorus
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
This may be Omer's favorite song.
And, of course, my new computer won't use the same video software and the new version is just awful. I managed to make it marginally functional. I'll have to try to figure something out another day.
I walked after church, came home, discovered I was tired. So, I made it pretty much a real rest day!
