Announcements
Naomi Engle: Tom and Lisa went to see Jess and Naomi. Naomi said she
would really like to receive humorous cards, rather than inspirational
cards. She gets great joy out of seeing what everyone thinks is funny.
Even if it’s not a get well card, she said we could sign it as a get well
card. She would also like prayer for her headaches and that she sleeps
well at night.

BE THOU MY VISION
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me save that thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Be thou my wisdom and Thy my true word;
I ever with thee, and thou with me, Lord.
Thou my great Father, and I thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise;
Thou mine inheritance, now and always.
Thou and thou only, first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art.
High King of heaven, when victory’s won
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Son!
Heart of my heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
ABBA FATHER
Doss, Ingram, Cash
Abba Father You have loved me
With a love like I’ve never known
Abba Father You have saved me
From the depths that I’ll never know
What a great Father You are
What a great Father You are
You have loved with arms wide open
You have held me through it all
You are faithful to the broken
Lord you hear me when I call
Thank you Lord for all that You’ve done
Thank you Lord for giving Your son
When I was lost You came after me
When I deserved such great penalty
