Psalm 71...(Judy-style)

So, um...yes, we are pretty much going from couponing to the Psalms... don't you see the OBVIOUS connection?!? Let me enlighten you...this blog is about REAL life... and REAL life isn't always about couponing, and recipes, and schedules, and sugar & spice and all things nice... Real life is about sinners, saved by God's grace. Real life is about sanctification, and that is a process...that takes time.  Real life is about hurts and healing.  Real life doesn't always look like a picture out of a magazine. Sometimes it is tear-stained and not-so-pretty. But, real life is not without hope and not without a coming happy ending (read more about that HERE). So...in the real life and times of me...this is what my heart says tonight...

You have been my hope, Oh Sovereign Lord
all my confidence since I was young
From birth I have relied on you
Who brought me from my mother's womb
I will ever praise You with my song.

All day long, Your mighty acts I will proclaim!
All day long, declare the splendor of Your name!
Lord, do not forsake me when I am old and gray
Till I declare Your power to the next generation in their day
To the next generation in their day.

You have been my hope, Oh Sovereign Lord
Though You have made me see distress and pain
From the depths You lift me up, set me on the solid Rock
I know You'll restore my life again.

All day long, Your might acts I will proclaim!
All day long, declare the splendor of Your name!
Lord, do not forsake me when I am old and gray
Till I declare Your power to the next generation in their day.
To the next generation in their day.

You have been my hope, oh Sovereign Lord
all my confidence since I was young
You destroy my enemies, Your salvation sets me free
I will ever praise You with my song.

All day long
All day long
All day long

This is from Judy Rogers' cd, Pilgrim's Praise, which is quite possibly my favorite of all of her cd's.  If you've never heard her music, it's worth checking out...especially if you have young children and would like them to learn the catechism (or if you'd like to learn it).  I grew up listening to these cd's, and I can testify that the messages stick with you -- and others have testified to this also....it's kind of like brain-washing...only in a good way. :-)
