Just Like Twins
If we are encouragedFrom being in Christ,We share in his comfort,And Him we are like. We share in his passion,With tender hearts, too.We share in the Spirit.He’s made us anew.

His Story
The mountains declare the praises of God.Their beauty proclaims His glory. The sky and the clouds, the stars up aboveGive evidence of His story. The sun, as it shines, His radiance shows.The treetops proclaim His kingdom. The colors of all His beauty shine forth.Creation declares His wisdom. We have no excuse if we not believeIn … Continue reading His Story
