LUB DUB FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD - Sarah Susannah Sampath

LUB DUB FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD

My steps are made faster
With longing for my Master
My heart beats with joy,
When I place my foot there.

The spirit pushes me to kneel
For His presence, to feel.
I pant like a little hart
To sing out loud from my heart.

Words flow out in praise
Thinking of His overflowing grace
I wait for Him with panting,
And open His word with longing.

I say, ‘Speak Judah’s Lion’
And out comes His word ,from Zion
His words satisfy my thirst
To walk in life’s desert

I walk out of the house of God
And meditate as I plod..
I think of the week ahead
And at His feet, my all I shed.

‘Life’, with its burdens and chores
Go on and on……
As I walk onward to reach that shore.

JESUS - Sarah Susannah

JESUS

There is one who is
Wiser than the wisest Solomon
Whiter than the whitest snow
Sweeter than the sweetest honey
Brighter than the brightest star
Lovelier than the fairest lily
Purer than the purest gold
Higher than the highest heaven
Better than the best physician
Closer than the closest friend
Stronger than the strongest weapon
Holier than the holiest place
Fairer than the fairest of men
………and…………….
Jesus is His wondrous name.

Apostles" Creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell: The third day he rose again from the dead:He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: I believe in the Holy Ghost: I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints: The forgiveness of sins: The resurrection of the body: And the life everlasting. Amen.

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
