As part of Seniors Month in Mount Gambier, Boandik Lodge on Lake Terrace hosts a Songs Of Praise gathering.
Through a couple of friendships I’ve been leading the singing for a few years now.
This afternoon we sang our way through:
To God Be The Glory
Now Thank We All Our God
What A Friend We Have In Jesus
My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less
When Peace Like A River (It Is Well With My Soul)
The Old Rugged Cross
Sweet Bye And Bye
O God Our Help In Ages Past
Amazing Grace
Jesus Loves Me
Blessed Assurance
In addition, I gave the folks a few breaks singing a some songs as solos:
There Is Sunshine In My Heart Today
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
I Serve A Risen Saviour (He Lives)
Love Lifted Me
As we sang Jesus Loves Me and Amazing Grace we thought of a couple of departed friends whose singing voices now are far stronger than when they were last here with us.
We look forward to hearing their voices and joining their song in the age to come.
And for our voices not to need the rest that mine does tonight.
Good songs, sung with friends/family, raise our spirits and, yes, the exercise is a good workout after which we need rest.
