Its super bonus time this week folks
and
not one but two hymns for you to enjoy!!
Vanessa and I will be off to the Sussex Coast later this month for a week and my ramblings today are both sea related.
I do love running, although with my little legs I don't go very quickly . But what I like is that I can put a pair of running shoes and shorts in my bag and run on holiday. Lanzarote early in the morning is one of my favourite runs. It also gives me a chance to stop and watch the sun coming up over the sea and the neighbouring Island of Fuertoventura. I think and pray while I am sitting there and I wanted to play a beautiful hymn that we used to sing at school called" I listen and I listen". Unfortunately I can't find a sung version on youtube but the words are as follows:
In the morning early
I go down to the sea
And I see the mist on the shore;
I listen and I listen
When I go to the rocks
I go looking for shells
And I feel the sand beneath my feet;
I listen and I listen
When the stormy day comes
Waves crash on the cliffs
And the wind whistles through my hair;
I listen and I listen
And at night when I sleep
And the sea is calm
The gentle waves lap the shore;
I listen and I listen
I sometimes think that God
Is talking to me
When I hear the sound of the sea;
I listen and I listen.
Today's first hymn is a firm favourite for many. It is of course," Will Your Anchor Hold"
