My Jesus I Love Thee
My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine; For Thee all the follies of sin I resign; My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me, And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree; I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death, And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath; And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow, If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. In mansions of glory and endless delight, I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright; I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow, If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

Prayer Requests from the Board of Elders 1. Strong Marriages: Pray for the marriages in the church. There are many strong marriages but some are struggling and a few are on the brink of disaster. The last 18 months have been the most tumultuous time for marriages in our church in the last 15 years. 2. Leadership: Pray for God to provide the right men to fill positions on our elder board. Randy Hunt’s move and a growing congregation have given us two vacancies. This is a crucial office in the church and one that must be covered in prayer. 3. Mission Exposure Trips Jay Johnson is soon going to Japan, and the youth group will be going to a Native American reservation in South Dakota reservation. Pray that everyone involved will be challenged by this exposure to missions. Pray also that they will have an effective ministry in proclaiming Christ. 4. Prayer in the Church: Corporate, concerted prayer on Wednesday night has been up and down over the years and it is currently on a downward trend. Though not determinative of our prayer habits, it can be reflective. Pray for Burton Cave as he is trying to remove as many hindrances as possible to people coming together as a church on Wednesday to pray for the church.
