Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Tomorrow
The sun will come out, tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow, there'll be sun
Jus' thinkin' about, tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'til there's none
When I'm stuck with the day that's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say, ohhh
The sun will come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may...
Chorus:
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away
(instrumental)
The sun will come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may...
(repeat chorus)
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day a--way
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow, there'll be sun
Jus' thinkin' about, tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'til there's none
When I'm stuck with the day that's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say, ohhh
The sun will come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may...
Chorus:
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away
(instrumental)
The sun will come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may...
(repeat chorus)
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day a--way
It's tough being small
It's tough being small
Just stand out from all the rest
It's not easy to find someone to see your best
You're kind, if not tall
I can't find a truer friend
You'll be there behind me
Like too few friends can
Who knows that right thing to say
When I'm feeling so blue
Oh Piglet, you know being with you
Is my favourite thing to do
I can't jump too high
But Piglet, you can touch the sky above
With you here, I know that
Life is much more fun
I like being small
Small is just a word
With you to call a friend
A friend who is always there
For my deepest feelings to be shared
Now Piglet, ever thought
you are a very small animal
You've got a very big heart
Which mean your ten feet tall to me
No Greater Love
From the days before ready access to vccines comes this story: The doctor looked down at the little girl in the hospital bed. He knew that her only hope was to receive blood from someone who had recovered from the same disease.
Quickly the doctor found the anxious family, and knelt beside a small boy. "Johnny," he said, "your sister needs your kind of blood to make her well. Would you be willing to give your blood so that she can live?"
Johnny's eyes grew big. The doctor watched them well with fear, but the little boy hesitated only long enough to swallow the lump in his throat.
"Sure, Doctor, I will do it," he replied.
After the needed amount of blood was taken from Johnny's small arm, he remained quiet for a few minutes as he had been instructed. The he stood up, asked softly: "Well, Doctor, when do I die?"
Only then did the doctor realize the extent of the child's sacrifice. Johnny had offered his life to save his sister, Jesus declared that there is no greater love.
Greater love than this no man has, that a man lay down his life for his friends (Joh. 15:13).
