Hymn and Scripture Challenge - I Need Thee Every Hour and Lord ,Speak To Me

Two more pages for Patter's 2013 challenge at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com .

The scripture verse is from the New Living translation.
You can read Patter's post on this hymn HERE
Here is a lovely version of the Hymn by Fernando Ortega.

 

 

 

Another lovely hymn I was not familiar with.

Here are the words to the hymn and you can read Patter's post HERE

 

1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak

in living echoes of thy tone;
as thou has sought, so let me seek
thine erring children lost and lone.

2 O strengthen me, that while I stand
firm on the rock, and strong in thee,
I may stretch out a loving land
to wrestlers with the troubled sea.

3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious things thou dost impart;
and wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.

4 O fill me with thy fullness, Lord,
until my very heart o'erflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
thy love to tell, thy praise to show.

5 O use me, Lord, use even me,
just as thou wilt, and when, and where,
until thy blessed face I see,
thy rest, thy joy, thy glory share.

 

I heard the following song on UCB Christian radio recently and it reminded me of this hymn.

Completely different , but it struck me that we miss so many chances to share God's word and show His love each day.

 

 

Only one more page , then I will be caught up , ready to begin the 2014 challenge , which begins on Sunday!

 

Thanks for visiting today !

Hymn and Scripture Challenge - My Hope is Built On Nothing Less and Joy To The World

Still catching up with my pages for Patter's challenge at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com . You can read the history of the hymn and Patter's post HERE .  I have been blessed by the words of this hymn and have listened to it many times over the last few months. I really like the version by Hillsong , which I will link below, although it does have a different refrain to the one on the hymn sheet.

             
                                                          Spellbinders flower and foliage dies
                                                          and decorative labels one die

JOY TO THE WORLD

            
                                                                 Quickutz Nativity die
                                                                 Quickutz alphabet die
                                                                 Spellbinders poinsettia die

A lovely hymn to end the year of challenges , I had been listening to  a teaching on "Wonderful Counsellor" just before I began my page so I had to include the beautiful verse from Isaiah !

Hopefully I will have a couple more pages to post tomorrow , then I will nearly be caught up before the new challenge begins in the New Year !

Thanks for visiting today!

Hymn and Scripture Challenge I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY and TELL ME THE STORIES OF JESUS

I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY

My 6 x 6 page for the challenge at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com, you can read Patter's post on this hymn here . I'm still behind with the hymns but hopefully I will catch up before the end of the month.
This is another hymn I was not familiar with , but I really enjoy learning new  [to me ] hymns and the background to them

 

                                                          
                                                              Spellbinders heart dies
                                                              Spellbinders foliage dies
                                                              Quickutz alphabet die


TELL ME THE STORIES OF JESUS

I enjoyed creating this page , it took me back to happy times helping out in children's Sunday School . I have always loved the verse John 21:25 , we never tire of the stories of Jesus and we know only a fraction of what He did:

                                     And there are also many other things that Jesus
                                     did , which if they were written one by one ,I
                                     suppose that even the world itself could not
                                     contain the books that would be written .
                                                          John 21:25

                               
                                                               Doodlebug paper
                                                               Simple Stories alphabet stickers and fish border

Hymn and Scripture Challenge - Leaning On The Everlasting Arms

What a wonderful title for a hymn! Patter has written a great post about it on her blog here .
How wonderful to be able to lean on the arms of our Lord any time we want ! His arms are always ready to hold us !

                                                              Bazzill cardstock
                                                              Memory Box die
                                                              Spellbinders Daisy Head die

It was difficult to stick the Memory box die down, but I have since found a spray glue which will hopefully do the trick next time ! The die is so pretty and the card is easy to remove from it too.
I stencilled the spellbinders flower die with a white gel pen.

Hymn and Scripture Challenge Open My Eyes That I May See and Jesus Never Fails

Two pages today to catch up with  the challenges at Patter's blog www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com.

I haven't had much time on the computer recently as it is the school holidays and just managing to post this as my son is at a friends !

I haven't heard either of these hymns before but again the words are really beautiful.

Apart from creating the pages , I really love choosing my scripture , the hymns have such beautiful words it's difficult to choose only one !

                                                       Doodlebug Fruit Stand paper
                                                  Cuttlebug Flower die and corner die

I love this verse from Exodus ! I asked someone to pray with me recently about a difficult situation. She told me to remember that the solution is always Jesus ! Then Patter posted this hymn for our challenge!  It's wonderful to know that The Lord is fighting for us and JESUS NEVER FAILS !
Here are the words to this beautiful hymn :
                         

                         Earthly friends may prove untrue,
                         Doubts and fears assail;
                         One still loves and cares for you;
                         One who will not fail.

                         Tho' the sky be dark and drear,
                         Fierce and strong the gale,
                         Just remember He is near,
                         And He will not fail.

                         In life's dark and bitter hour,
                         Love will still prevail;
                         Trust His everlasting power,
                         Jesus will not fail.        
                         
                         Chorus

             Jesus never fails, Jesus never fails,
             Heav'n and earth may pass away,
             But Jesus never fails.
