Jesup, GA
O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.
You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you.
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?
O Lord - Yahweh (something happens when you call upon the Name of the LORD)
Using a name / using The Name
Not only Lord, but our Lord
His name is majestic and fills the earth
The Preacher’s Commentary Series, Volume 13: Psalms 1–72 The Glory of Man
Today, we can marvel at the heavens with more data than was available to David’s unaided eye. For example, we know that in
Even children know of God
When we look at the night sky - scientist think they know so much
What are we? That is the ultimate question
God cares
Does Jesus Care (Song by Gaithers 2017)
Does Jesus Care (Song by Gaithers 2017)
Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth and song?
When the burdens press
And the cares distress
And the way grows weary and long?
Oh, yes, He cares, I know He cares (His heart)
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary
The long night dreary
I know my Savior cares
Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
And as the daylight fades
Into deep dark shades
Does He care enough to be near?
Oh, yes, He cares, I know He cares
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary
The long night dreary
I know my Savior cares
When we live long enough we finally begin to understand
What these songs are saying
Does Jesus care
When I've tried and failed
To resist some temptation strong?
When for my deep grief there's no relief
Though the tears flow all the day long
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary
The long night dreary
I know my Savior cares
Does Jesus care when I've said, "Goodbye"
To the dearest on earth to me
And my sad heart aches
Till it nearly breaks
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?
Oh, yes, He cares, I know He cares
His heart is touched with my grief
When the days are weary
The long night dreary
I know my Savior caresI know my Savior cares...
