The Lord is my light and my salvation. 6th Dec ’13

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AgA1CYWwug – Thus says the Lord GOD: But a very little while, and Lebanon shall be changed into an orchard, and the orchard be regarded as a forest! On that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book; And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see.

For the tyrant will be no more and the arrogant will have gone; All who are alert to do evil will be cut off, those whose mere word...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm-pB4gjT80 – On that day they will sing this song in the land of Judah: “A strong city have we; he sets up walls and ramparts to protect us.

The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him: a Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, A Spirit of counsel and of strength, a Spirit of knowledge and of fear of the LORD, and his delight shall be the fear of the LORD. Not by appearance shall he judge, nor by hearsay shall he decide, But he shall judge the poor with justice, and decide aright for the land’s afflicted. He shall strike the ruthless with the rod...

Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord. 2nd Dec ’13

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMb9TkVW_Gk – On that day, The branch of the LORD will be luster and glory, and the fruit of the earth will be honor and splendor for the survivors of Israel. He who remains in Zion and he who is left in Jerusalem Will be called holy: every one marked down for life in Jerusalem. When the LORD washes away the filth of the daughters of Zion, And purges Jerusalem’s blood from her midst with a blast of searing judgment, Then will the LORD create, over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her place of assembly, A smoking...
