Blessings

 

Taking this picture brought to mind that there is nothing quite like a small little church and a small little town, and I have always felt it to be such a blessing to have been born and raised in both.  ~Mindy

 Just one Name I'll lift high, In the deepest sorrow

Just one Name I'll recall,In my days of trouble

 Jesus 

Verse 2

 Just one Name I'll make known, In my greatest moments 

Just one Name I'll remember, In triumph

 Just one Name I'll proclaim, To every heart that's searching 

Jesus Jesus 

Chorus 1

 Only You can overcome, Every darkness

 You'll finish every work, That You started

 The Savior of the world

 Chorus 2

 Your Name will never fail, Never falter

 We give You all the praise, And the honor

 The Savior of the world

 Every sickness and fear, Must bow before You 

Every mountain I face, Must melt away

 There's no power in Hell, That can stand against You

 Jesus Jesus

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
