Upon the shore Of Evermore, We sport, like children at their play; And gather shells Where sinks and swells The mighty sea from far away. Upon that beach, Nor voice nor speech Doth things intelligible say; But through our souls A whisper rolls, That comes to us from […]
“Silly, foolish wave, why do you come so far? Do you once again forget who you are? Upon the sands of the shore you do not belong. Why do you so wastefully pour yourself out upon it all day long?” “Is it merely to be seen, that you throw yourself upon the world’s shore? Showing […]
I love this poem by written by Isaac Watts the famous theologian, logician and hymn writer who was born in the late 1600’s. This hymn is one of 750 that he was inspired to write. It is a worship filled reminder of what prayer is and why we pray. On Prayer by Isaac Watts Prayer […]
O SOURCE OF ALL GOOD, What shall I render to Thee for the gift of gifts? Thine own dear Son, begotten, not created, My Redeemer, Proxy, Surety, Substitute, His self-emptying incomprehensible, His infinity of love beyond the heart’s grasp. Herein is wonder of wonders: He came below to raise me above, He was born like […]
The day does now dark night dispel; Dear Christians, wake and rouse you well, Give glory to God our Lord. Once more the daylight shines abroad, O brethren, let us praise the Lord, Whose grace and mercy thus have kept The nightly watch while we have slept. To Him let us together pray With all […]

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. I sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.You grant sleep to those you love and make their sleep sweet. [Psa. 3:5, 4:8, 127:2, Pro. 3:24] BLESSED CREATOR, Thou hast promised thy beloved sleep; Give me restoring […]
I read this poem this earlier this week in one of my favorite devotional books, Streams in the Desert, by L.B. Cowman. It’s from Sept. 25th. He was better to me than all my hopes; He was better than all my fears; He made a bridge of my broken works, And a rainbow of my […]
ETERNAL FATHER, Thou art good beyond all thought, But I am vile, wretched, miserable, blind; My lips are ready to confess, but my heart is slow to feel, and my ways reluctant to amend. I bring my soul to thee; break it, wound it, bend it, mould it, Unmask to me sin’s deformity, […]
