Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We try to

not) was sequenced by our own

From My Friend, Katrina, of UT -
03/25/15:|
“Patience
is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our
fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with
something … even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is
not simply enduring; it is enduring well!”

Thanks so much, Katrina!

At Calvary
Words by William R. Newell, 1895
(22 May 1868 - 01 Apr 1956)
Music by Daniel B. Towner
(05 Apr 1850 - 03 Oct 1919)
Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary...
Chorus
Mercy there was great and grace was free,
Pardon there was multiplied to me,
There my burdened soul found liberty
At Calvary
By God's Word at last my sin I learned,
Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned,
To Calvary...
Now I've giv'n to Jesus ev'rything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing,
Of Calvary...
O the love that drew salvation's plan!
O the grace that brought it down to man!
O the mighty gulf that god did span
At Calvary...
