Family Get-Together

Last night our church family had their annual Christmas "Talents" program.  It is always a very fun and special time of getting together with our brothers and sisters in the Lord, and desiring to use the gifts and abilities He has given to praise and glorify HIM! 

Kyle was the very handsome Christmas quiz facilitator

in between each "act".   It was a friendly competition between sides.

I so enjoyed all of the songs and stories,

but one song that particularly ministered to my soul was

an instrumental of "Wonderful Merciful Saviour".
(Played by a pianist, cellist, and a violinist ;-)

I just love that song,

and last night,

tears of praise and thanksgiving flowed, 

as I thought of all our wonderful Savior has faithfully brought us through this year. 

Here is a beautiful rendition of the song . . .

 

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Oh you rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way
Oh, we hopelessly lost the way

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne
