The Glory and the Lifter of Mine Head

For the second time in less than six months one of my mom’s friends has received a scary diagnosis. Because this is fresh and I don’t want to be insensitive I will simply ask for prayer for this person. There is the diagnosis but next comes what stage? how far along? what type of cancer is it?

I have to be honest that having two out of six of my mom’s friends being diagnosed with life threatening conditions is SCAREY…my life has been fairly void of cancers, and sickness. Before my father’s funeral six years ago I had been to one…and since I’ve been to none. I just can’t imagine my mom getting sick and I can’t imagine how she feels having friends the same age as her getting this news.

So the song running through my head last night was ‘Thou, Oh Lord’. In my old church I was in the rather large and talented choir and we would sing this song and it was always my favorite. Please take some time and enjoy, close your eyes and be thankful for the…

GLORY

& the

LIFTER of our heads

*Thou, Oh Lord *
Many are they increased that troubled me
Many are they that rise up against me
Many there be which say of my soul
There is no help for him in God

*
But thou, oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Thou, oh Lord are shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
*
I cried unto the Lord with my voice
And he heard me out of His holy hill
I laid me down and slept and awaked
For the Lord sustained, for he sustained me

*
Thou, oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Thou, oh Lord are shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
