For my Brother, Gregory - On Our Sovereign Father.

Here are the lyrics to this international naval hymn, Gregory. Hear the awesomeness in their beauty:

"Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy Word,
Who walked on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Trinity of love and power!
Our family shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect us wheresoever we go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea."

(William Whiting - 1860)

Wow, what an awesome and powerful video on God's sovereignty and Grace. Powerful!

[Afrikitty]

@BaptistPrayer Hallo Randy,

Thank you for your great comment. It will never cease to amaze me how some will get this - the ABSOLUTE Sovereignty of God, and others will miss it entirely.

Greg loved this video, but he missed it's message entirely, and he told me so! Please will you pray for him.

[BaptistPrayer]

@Afrikitty Sorry for taking so long to reply. I am definitely praying for him. God bless you my sister!

[Afrikitty]

@BaptistPrayer That's OK, Randy. I get a bit late on answering comments myself much of the time. Anyway, thank you for your prayers. I surely will appreciate them for Greg.

@ChristEnduredForMe Bethany, I thought I had that address in my book, but I don't. I can't, for the life of me, remember the name of the road they lived in. I do remember a small Bottle Store at the end of it. The owner was always on at me for walking bare foot around that area, telling me I would cut my feet. I would quip "On what, for goodness sakes?"

There was a tiny post office around the corner where I got my Diana pound coins. I will e-mail my ex about this. Our last visit was in 2001.

@Afrikitty Liz, I know what you are talking about.

It is because of the tunnels that run under this area, as well as the London Underground. Wherabouts in Hertfordshire did your family live? Do you think you will be coming this way again anytime in the future?

I moved down here for personal reasons and I am quite liking it. I am working in a small anitique shop and I can walk there every day, even though it is cold now. I just bundle up.

How have you been doing lately?

[Afrikitty]

@ChristEnduredForMe Hey Bethany,

It's good to see you back. Thank you for your kind words.

You're in London now? I see Hertfordshire? My uncle and aunt lived in Hertfordshire. We used to stay with them every time we went to London. I never got out into the country though, but they lived in a three story house quite close to the railway tracks and everytime a train went by, the house would sway gently to and fro. I loved lying in bed on that top floor waiting for that train to come. Deja vu!

Hello Liz,

I've been back on YouTube for a few days. I came to say Hi and saw all your new videos. This one brought tears to my eyes. It is very beautifully portrayed.

How are you? It's cold, damp and dreary in London.

@zacqt Thank you for your encouraging words. Thank you for your kindness.

I have always maintained, together with John Knox - "You cannot antagonise and infuence at the same time!"

May God bless you in all your endeavours, zacqt.

@GospelGentleman Greg when i was very young i heard the first few words in the bible verse below, this was the beginning of my salvation- i jumped in my chair & figured i qualified by default, or rather by grace.

Psalms 68:5 *A father of the fatherless*, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

llCor 12v9(my favorite)

Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may

obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

We are all "works" in progress.
