THERE IS A STRONG ANCHOR.

LIKE THE SHADE BENEATH A SINGLE TREE.

FOR ALL ETERNITY

ON BENDED KNEE.

THE WONDERFUL LOVE OF THE LORD



NOW IS THE TIME TO LIFT OUR HEADS

YOU WILL NEVER TRULY BE ALONE.

UNTIL GOD AS MADE HIS CALL.

WHEN WE TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD

COME TO MY HEART - LORD JESUS

SO GENTLE - YET SO STRONG .

DEATH HAS LOST ITS DREADED STING

WE THANK YOU LORD.

TRUST IN HIS ALL FAITHFUL WORD

NO MATTER WHAT - IT SHALL BE WELL

WHAT IF JESUS HAD NEVER BEEN BORN?

OH THE WONDER OF CHRISTMAS.

WE ARE GOD'S CHOSEN VESSELS

EVERLASTING SALVATION AND PEACE.

GOD HAS A PURPOSE TO FULFIL .

IN DEEP HUMILITY.

WHEN WE WALK ALONE WITH GOD

TAKE HEED OF THIS WARNING

A BRAND NEW START .

MY TRIBUTE TO OUR GLORIOUS QUEEN .

BE OF GOOD CHEER

SIGNED AND SEALED FOR ETERNITY

THE LIFEGUARD WHO CAN WALK ON THE WATER

THE GREAT EXCHANGE - THAT HE HAS GIVEN

ON THAT AMAZING RESURRECTION MORN

THE VICTORY OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

CHILD OF MY HEART

GOD CHOSE A QUEEN.

Laughter and happiness filled the corridors - as two
young princesses enjoyed their father's time .
A king - who had been placed in a position - he had
never wanted - chosen - or designed .
And yet -the destiny had been sealed - by a higher
order and decree -
Of this man - not eloquent - nor happy in the limelight -
on a throne - he never chose to be .
But - it was God's choice alone - that had placed him
there -
And God makes no mistakes - with those He calls - anoints
and chooses as His heir.


So it was - in time - this good king grew weak and died -
and in his place stepped forth his eldest daughter -
a beautiful young bride .
Elizabeth - regal and serene - stepped to the plate -
and took the scroll -
that would carry her - and her broken heart - to her
exalted role .


And yet - she drank from the depths of the chalice
in her hand
And vowed - her undying service - to her God - her people
and her land .
Never once has she faltered - though at times the ice
looked thin enough to break -
And those around her came and went - and oft-times sorrow
left its shadow in her wake -
But - through it all - in quietness and trust - her Majesty
has remained - steadfast - true and still -
Where others fell - she has stood - serene and poised -
as a beacon - shining faithfully on England's hill .


So - on this happy celebration of her sixty years of
faithful reign
We remember her - with grateful thanks - for all her
accomplishments - she has established - and attained.
Twelve PMs and many governments have met with her in state -
And a Commonwealth of millions - have come and gone - and
passed before her gate .
Yet - still true to that first vow - she spoke when young -
and full of earnest zeal
She still stands - firm in her resolve to make her calling
sure and real .


Never has she turned from duty - however harsh or hard the
calling may have been -
So - thank You LORD - that Britain has been truly great -
Because - YOU gave to us - Elizabeth -
our good and gracious -
Sovereign Queen .

(GOD bless our Queen - and may she long reign over us )


written for the Queen's sixtieth Jubilee 2012
