Compassion

Jesus Gives Sight to One Born Blind, from a Bible Printed by Edward Gover, 1870s

"As the Deer"

Deer Near Cabin


My daughter feeds the deer, around her property, seeds and apples. At times they have seen as many as 13 deer eating in the yard. It is cute to see all the deer sharing food with the rabbits. The neighbor's peacocks also wander down to feast. One day she was at the kitchen window and said, "Oh, there are two Bambi's out there." They were cute babies born recently.



Spring Secrets

They have rescued a couple of babies who were abandoned by their mother. One was crying out, running along their fence. They fed it goats milk, I believe, and took to a lady who cares for them.



Fawn




"As the Deer" is one of my favorite worship songs.

Michael W. Smith - Above All

I also enjoy contemporary Christian music. Michael W. Smith is a very talented composer and artist, who has won numerous awards. I think his song "Above All" is lovely.

My Saviour

Peace In the Midst of the Storm

Hide me in Thy secret place,
Under the shadow of Thy wings,
For I find my rest in Thee,
Peace in the midst of the storm.
Hold me ever close to Thee,
Precious lamb of Calvary.
Near to Thee will always be
Peace in the midst of the storm.

Thou hast been my refuge, Lord.
I run to Thee for quiet peace,
For Thou art my hiding place,
Peace in the midst of the storm.
Ever steadfast, ever sure,
Jesus is Thy love for me.
In Thy presence, Lord, I find
Peace in the midst of the storm.

Lord I cast my cares on Thee,
For Thou, Oh Lord dost care for me.
Underneath thy wings I find,
Peace in the midst of the storm.
Lord, I place my trust in Thee,
Jesus, Lord and God to me.
In Thy name will always be
Peace in the midst of the storm.

"Peace, Perfect Peace"

To Everything There is


Peace, Perfect Peace

Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.

Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.

Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.

Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus' keeping we are safe and they.

Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.

Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.

It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease
And Jesus, call us to heaven's perfect peace.

Words: Edward H. Bickersteth (1875)
Music: A. S. Sullivan (1874)

You hope you know the tune. The one at Cyber hymnal is not the melody I am familiar with.
