Fly The Ocean In A Silver Plane

Proverbs 16
Commit your works to the Lord
And your plans will be established.
The Lord has made everything for its own purpose.
By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for,
And by the fear of the Lord one keeps away from evil.
When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Better is a little with righteousness
Than great income with injustice.
The mind of man plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.

Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established. It's telling me not to commit to searching for my plans, but rather to commit my works to the Lord—and, in doing so, the Lord will establish my plans. It's simply a change of commitments—from myself, to the Lord.

Nothing Else But You

For me, You are all I need today
You are everything I love
You're my portion--my full cup
You're filling me

My Treasure beyond worth
I find my joy in You
You are my life, You are my strength
Oh nothing else will do

And I will leave what keeps me from You
And hides the truth from view
And breaks Your heart in two
But You're healing me

My Treasure beyond worth
I find my joy in You
You are my life, You are my strength
Oh nothing else will do

The cross, points the way to my home
It Guides me to Your throne
To see Your glory shown
And I'll fly to You

My Treasure beyond worth
I find my joy in You
You are my life, You are my strength
Oh nothing else will do

Lead, Thou, Me On

LEAD, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom,
Lead thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home,--
Lead thou me on!
Keep thou my feet! I do not ask to see
The distant scene--one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years!

So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on,
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

[John Henry Newman -- 1801-1890]

"Everyone is looking for and trying to write a single quote that sums up all the workings and behavior of man into one small and compact sentence. This is not that quote."
