Wow. Isn’t it amazing how the world can change so quickly? In the time that Ed and I have been away in USA visiting family, we have arrived back to daily changing world of Covid-19. Thank you for your prayers to get us home. I thank God every time I think of you, my church family, who held us up in prayer. Whew.
Concerning our Women’s Bible study on 30 March, it of course will not happen. We will keep in touch by Grace Place and our Facebook page, Captivated CBC in the coming weeks.
As God’s children we can be comforted in the sovereignty of our Creator God during these uncertain times. I was reminded of the song that Michael W Smith wrote, and want to share it with you. May we trust and serve our Sovereign and Loving God, knowing His purposes will be fulfilled.
Love and prayers to you all,
Kathy
Sovereign Over Us
Michael W. Smith
There is strength within the sorrow
There is beauty in our tears
And You meet us in our mourning
With a love that casts out fear
You are working in our waiting
You’re sanctifying us
When beyond our understanding
You’re teaching us to trust
Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You’re with us in the fire and the flood
You’re faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
You are wisdom unimagined
Who could understand Your ways
Reigning high above the Heavens
Reaching down in endless grace
You’re the lifter of the lowly
Compassionate and kind
You surround and You uphold me
And Your promises are my delight
Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You’re with us in the fire and the flood
You’re faithful forever
Perfect in love, you are sovereign over us.
Even what the enemy means for evil
You turn it for our good
You turn it for our good and for Your glory
Even in the valley, You are faithful
You’re working for our good
You’re working for our good and for Your glory
You’re faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
