Let Your blood cover me
Wash me white and set me free
Let Your blood make me clean
Today….
Let Your blood cover me
Wash me white and set me free

The Lord help us to give Him the joy that our children give to us when they loyally and lovingly keep our words.
Is it true that we, particularly if we are one of the Abrahamic Faiths committed to Shalom, Salaam, Peace are the reason for so much mayhem, murder and massacre?
God’s love is very brave. He trusts us not to look back and wonder about things, or wonder about present things either, or fear for future things.
It is in living everyday lives of righteousness and performing acts of unquestioning service that the glory of God is revealed.
Perhaps what demands most will power is the resolution to cease from our own works, our own busy-ness, and to stay our minds upon our God.
Do you sometimes say in your heart, ‘So-and-so is very hard to put up with’? If God puts up with us we ought also to put up with one another.
It does not matter where we, or those close to us, have met the generous love of our Beloved, it only matters that with us He may find a place where he can ‘Lay down His sweet head…..’
If we seem to receive a stone when we pray today, let us rejoice, for we know the blessed secret of the rock and the flint.
Travelling towards Easter, and Lent can get a bit messy so we may want it to be done with. In reality the end of Lent is not so much about playing a Finale but singing an Overture.
