Things Are Looking Up!!!

It has been a fairly good day today! We really have not done anything in school today but work on our banner for the pep rally! The kids have been so funny to watch! They love having this distraction, but what they don't know is that the teacher loves it too! :-) I told them this morning, "If you do not work on your seatwork, you will not be allowed to color on our banner!" Well everyone of them had their spelling words and Bible verse written by recess and right now most of them have ALL their pages done! It is a miracle! I need to have something like this everyday!

Last night's revival was good! They sang two songs that I had never heard before this week and I feel in love with them! Here are the lyrics to both songs!

Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord

As the sun rose that morning on the day of Job's trials,
He rose up to serve God as any other day;
Bound and determined to live in God's favor,
And nothing would stand in his way.

But then the messengers came one by one with their story,
In just a few moments Job lost all he had;
Great wealth and riches the health of his body,
And even his children were dead.

Chorus: The Lord giveth, he taketh away,
Blessed be the name of the Lord;
I served him before and I'll serve him today,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Then his wife came before him to voice her opinion,
She said, "You should end this, just curse God and die."
But Job he rose from the ashes, he looked toward the heavens,
He brushed back the tears in his eyes.

And He said:

Chorus

When troubles come suddenly,
Blessed be the name!
When strong winds blow violently,
Blessed be the name!
When Satan comes oppressing me,
Blessed be the name!
I'll still serve God faithfully,
Blessed be the name!

Chorus

Help Is On The Way

A woman in the Bible days
Her last meal almost gone
But God sent Elijah to make His Word known
He said woman don't you worry
For God sent me today
And before you even asked Him
Help was on the way

Just hold on a little longer
Help is on the way
A brighter day is coming
For those who believe and pray
Help won't help tomorrow
If you give up today
Just hold on a little longer
Help is on the way

Troubles of this life come by
And burdens get you down
You think no one is listening
You think no one's around
Just remember what His Word says
Trust Him and obey
Keep your eyes towards the Heavens
For help is on the way

Just hold on a little longer
Help is on the way
A brighter day is coming
For those who believe and pray
Help won't help tomorrow
If you give up today
Just hold on a little longer
Help is on the way
