A Time For us to Sing

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment

To every bird God gives a voice
And a time to sing out strong
Like shepherds who gave shouts of praise
And Mary gave her song

The mockingbird sings bright and clear
The sparrow simply cheeps
And crows caw loudly in the streets
While the silent owl sleeps

And above us all there stands the One
Who gives us each our parts
A time for each of us to sing
With humble joyful hearts


The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
Song of Solomon 2:12 ESV

To Simplest Hearts

God has chosen us to show
His mystery Of long ago
When He was born
Where shepherds bow
And cattle fed
And roosters crowed
To simplest hearts
His glory know!

He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of humble estate;
Luke 1:51-52 ESV

When all around great problems prowl
And life is torn from my control
When wildest storms within me howl
I hear a voice deep in my soul
My Christ is yet
The Lord of all
My Christ is yet
The Lord of all

Then fiercest winds hush to a calm
And darkest skies end with a dawn
And all the birds begin their song
Of sweetest hope that rests upon
That Christ is still
The cornerstone
That Christ is still
The cornerstone

There only faith can be my sight
In sleepless nights and darkest days
He shows His face by Heaven’s light
Though I am small still I will praise

For His great gift
Forever stays
For His great gift
Forever stays

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV
