Exhortation from the Throne of Grace

Beloved, do not be deterred by what you SEE going on around you.
Do not become alarmed and quiver or shake. Remember I have called you
to be a light in the darkness . A flame that burns bright for ME. So many voices
crying out, so many hopes are dying out, but a difference YOU can make!
Speak the truth in Love, shine your light for all to see,
pick up your Cross daily, and lead them back to ME.

Keith Green's Song "O Lord Your Beautiful"
released May 7th, 1980.
I think we need to revisit this.
You can hear it here:

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me to just, live it Lord.
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.

Oh Lord, please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clear.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
That burns with Holy fear.

I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me to just, live it Lord.
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
