Courage, my soul, and let us journey on,
Tho’ the night is dark it won’t be very long.
Thanks be to God, the morning light appears,
And the storm is passing over, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The storm is passing over,
Hallelujah!
Billows rolling high, and thunder shakes the ground,
Lightning's flash and tempest all around,
Jesus walks the sea and calms the angry waves,
And the storm is passing over, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The storm is passing over,
Hallelujah!
by Hezekiah Walker
Every praise
Is to our God
Sing hallelujah
To our god
Glory hallelujah
Is due our God
Every praise every praise is to our God.

I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up, well, I think only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No never, never, never
I listen to my words but they fall far below
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the Devil's lake
But never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never

4TH Sunday After the Epiphany
January 30, 2022
11:00 A.M.
It may seem that we are here seeking God, but in reality, God is here seeking us. “Behold” said Jesus, “I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” Amen
