Can bring all that’s been given.

Back to glory in heaven.

All the world will then see.

How God has blessed me.

John. 6:25-34

So often we focus on.

Blessings that came from.

Living in accord.

The edicts of the Lord.

Instead of just him.

The hunger from within.

Not just present strife.

But the bread that gives life.

Ps. 98.

Sing to the Lord a new song.

For we know to whom we belong.

As before my King l bow.

Zeph:1-3

The whole world is corrupted.

The arrogant life is interrupted.

When God comes to judge.

Those who truth now fudge.

For the day of Lord is near.

Judgement for those who don’t fear.

The glory of the Lord who created.

They are now separated.

From the God they did follow.

Their worship just hollow.

Their disaster will become.

Apparent to everyone.

But there will be some left.

Who the Lord has blessed.

Dispite all the oppression.

From those ruling your nation.

So obvious now to see.

How all so desperately.

Have lost all hope.

Can no longer cope.

But it is then that the Lord.

Came down and restored.

All that you once had.

Your heart will be so glad.

As God overcomes.

The evil ones.

That we could feed them today.

But then we heard what he said.

Amazingly we were then fed.

Then off in our old boat.

On calm sea confidently float.

When suddenly tossed by a storm.

Now desperate and so forlorn.

When Jesus came walking out.

Our hearts full of doubt.

Can it really be him.

Walking on water our boat floats in

He said don’t be so afraid.

Then our destination was made

Others alone on the shore.

Came looking for more.

Ps. 85

Lord show favour we pray.

All our doubts give a shove.

All that I really now see.

Is you use evil to persecute me.

I come before you and have to say.

Why let them have their own way.

All would come one day to acclaim.

What l had done in Gods name.

He gave me many solid friends.

For with them l could defeat.

Any old enemy l did meet.

Mighty and faithful were they.

Supported me in every way.

Together we would overcome.

They were so awesome.

As I remember all them.

Such valiant and brave men.

Then needed to prove my might.

So l knew I could win any fight.

When it always was really my God.

With his staff and his rod.

Told this was not in accord.

With known will of the Lord.

Now I have come to see.

I insist l must pay the price.

My every last desire.
