GUIDE
December 23, 2023
The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
Isaiah 58:11
Thought
Never run before God’s guidance. (Oswald Chambers)
Song
"We Three Kings"
1. We three kings of orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
[CHORUS]
O, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
2. Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King for ever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
[CHORUS]
3. Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising all men raising
Worship Him, God most high
[CHORUS]
4. Myrrh is mine it’s bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone cold tomb
[CHORUS]
5. Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Heaven to earth replies
[CHORUS]
Prayer
O Father of Lights, You guide me by a star. Yet, not the one that Magi followed from the east to Bethlehem. The star that leads me is the One that they sought out, and brought them to honour Him as King, God, and Sacrifice. At His feet I lay the greatest gift that I have, and that is myself which You have fearfully and wonderfully made. Amen.
