I long to hear the stories of old Listening to tales of God’s grace unfold Thrilling my heart and filling my soul Taking the broken and making them whole Be revived, my soul, God is ever the same I stand on His Word and with my mouth proclaim God’s promises I speak with a bold voice His power goes forth, in faith I rejoice Angels attend me with unseen zeal Answering prayers to deliver and heal Be revived, oh my soul, and with faith arise Fix your eyes on the goal, and reach for the prize! Debbie Furey September 7, 2021 Proverbs 13:12 – “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Philippians 3:12-14 – “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” 2 Kings 6:8–23 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
