KEEP ON SINGING!

Keep on singing!?!? How does one do that in the midst of tragedy?

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look fun in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace 


Refrain:
O yes, He cares- I know He cares!
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!

“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;

“When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;

“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow---It's what I'm finding in hymns of old as I pray for others.
