Praying and Serving That Pre-Born Babies are Saved
Last week, men, women and children took part in the Josephine County March for Life. Faith OPC has been a part of this march, watch and prayer ministry as a witness for truth for 25+ years. Pastors and priests, elders and deacons, and city, county and state officials were there. Our city's children and young people also displayed hands, hearts and voices in this witness.
I am grateful for the song, Your Hands, written by J.J. Heller, which was sung beautifully by the Emmons Sisters at last Sunday afternoon's gathering:
I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn’t there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That you would take my pain away
You would take my pain away
I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crooked lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking I never leave your hands
When you walked upon the earth
You healed the broken, lost and hurt
I know you hate to see me cry
One day you will set all things right
Yeah, one day you will set all things right
When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking I never leave your hands
Your hands that shaped the world
Are holding me They hold me still
O God, silence Your foes, the ones leading the charge in the murder of the pre-born; subdue them in Your grace and conquer them in Your saving love, that fathers, mothers and babies are rescued and resting in Your hands. And may we, Your people, pray and serve in such a God-pleasing way that we might bear Your name in a worthy manner. We wait upon You, we turn to You. Hear us, through Christ Jesus our Lord; and heal us for the majesty of Your honor. Amen and Amen.
