Psalm 8 - interpreted for today
Duncan Wilson, Wessex Synod URC
Sovereign Lord,
how glorious is your name throughout the world!
Your majesty is praised as high as the heavens
and from infants at the breast.
|
When we survey your handiwork,
the stars and planets that circle the earth,
what do we common folk amount to
that you should give a thought to us?
|
Yet you have made us like gods in our own domain
and called us to be responsible for all creation.
How glorious is your name
throughout the world!

'You Say'
by Lauren Daigle (shared by Joan)
I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know (ooh oh)
You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, You say I am Yours
And I believe what You say of me
I believe
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity,
You say I am loved
Taking all I have and now I'm laying it at Your feet
You have every failure God, and You'll have every victory,
You say I am loved
I believe what You say of me
