Lyrics:
There lived a man and a woman,
In a town called Shunem,
They made a home for Elisha,
And found favour in his eyes,
So god sent them a miricale,
The only thing they longed for,
Within a year they would hold a son,
As Elisha prophesied,
One day they ran from the feild,
Brought the child to his mother,
She held his head there on her knees,
Until he died at noon that day,
She didn’t tell anyone,
She ran straight to the man of god,
And if anybody asked her,
She replied along the way.
It is well, it is well,
There is peace in my despair,
Knowing god will hear my prayer,
And I will cling,
To the promise that he brings,
Even death will have no sting,
No power in hell,
In his presence I will dwell,
In his presence I will dwell,
Where it is well(it is well),
It is well (it is well).
Elisha stood by the bedside,
Where she laid the boy when he died,
And prayed a prayer upon him,
And he breathed new life again,
Friend God doesn’t ever change,
If you’ll have that womans faith,
He’ll send you a miracle,
And until then you can say
It is well, it is well
There is peace in my despair
Knowing God will hear my prayer
And I will cling
To the promise that he brings
Even death will have no sting
No power in hell,
In His presence I will dwell
Where it is well
Lyrics:
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Lyrics:
God is good, yes He is. He’s good all the time.
God is good, you know He is. He’s good all the time.
You can search the whole world over, No greater friend you’ll find.
He’s not good just once in awhile; He’s good all the time.
Now we’ve all had friends who’ve let us down. You know what I’m talking about;
At the very first sign of trouble, they’re nowhere to be found.
Well, Jesus stays when others go; He’ll never leave your side,
He’s your friend in stormy weather ’cause He’s good all the time.
God is good, yes He is. He’s good all the time.
God is good, you know He is. He’s good all the time.
You can search the whole world over, No greater friend you’ll find.
He’s not good just once in awhile; He’s good all the time.
Well, He’s the one you call in the middle of the night when your body moans with pain.
Don’t worry about that wayward child, ’cause He heard you call his name.
He’ll put food in your kitchen when you don’t have a dime.
He’s not good just now and then, He’s good all the time.
God is good, yes He is. He’s good all the time.
God is good, you know He is. He’s good all the time.
You can search the whole world over, No greater friend you’ll find.
He’s not good just once in awhile; He’s good all the time.
As we are subject to trials and temptations it is clear that without spiritual rest we will not succeed at enduring what is in front of us. Receive this prayer, exhortation and message as we learn more about why spiritual rest matters.
My sister and I like to run for our exercise. Since we are not fast runners we approach our runs from an endurance perspective. Recently an 8k (about 5 miles) was being held at Norris Dam in honor of the dam’s 80th anniversary. We had not run the course before and didn’t know what to expect. When we got there we discovered that the starting line was at the bottom of the dam and you had to run out the road and then climb uphill until you reached the top of the dam. About 45% of the 5 miles was going to be uphill and then about the 7:30 start time there came a downpour of rain which meant that now our shoes, socks, and clothes were all wet. We began the race in the rain but about the time we reached the top of the dam it had quit. We had to cross the dam and then run about a half mile beyond to the turnaround point. Once we got to the turnaround it was downhill from there which made the last part easier to run but we were still questioning whether it was worth the trip we had made.
If you have ever participated in a road race you know that there are always runners and watchers that try to speak an encouraging word to you when you pass them which helps and they normally have a water station at some point so you can grab a quick drink if needed. But at this race when we got near the end there was a gentleman stationed about 100 yards from the finish line. When we went by, he said, “You’ve got it now, just the length of a football field, you can make it.” We were already determined to finish but his words made us run a little faster. It encouraged us right when we needed it. Several minutes later after the finish line when we were going to our car we came back by the gentleman and he was still at his post saying the same thing to the runners just now at that point. The Lord spoke to me and reminded me that this is probably how many people in the ministry feel. Ministers may feel they preach the same sermon, singers may feel they sing the same song, teachers may feel they have taught this lesson many times before but it is still important because the runners just now finishing the race need to hear the encouraging words. Although he had repeated the words over and over to each runner that came through it was fresh and new and encouragement to them to finish. So if there are days that you feel like you are carrying the same message you carried yesterday just remember it is new to those that you speak it to and that they need to hear it.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Lyrics:
He’s an on time God, Yes he is Oh………
On time God…… Yes he is
Job said He may not come when you want him
But He’ll be there right on time
I’ll tell ya he’s an on time God, yes he is
You can ask the children of Israel, trapped at the red sea, by that mean old Pharoah, and his army. They had water all around them, and Pharoah on their track. From out of nowhere, God stepped in and cut a highway, just like that, now let me tell you he’s an…
(Chorus)
You can ask the five thousand, hungry souls he fed, on the banks of the river, with two fish and five loaves of bread, what a miracle, he performed for the multitude, Oh what he did, way back then he’ll do today for me and you.
