To the reader. There is a pleasant-sounding song that I hear in the McDowell House; every now & then on TV-sports news. It says: oh when the saints...go marching in...when the saints go marching in. Lord I want to be in that number, when the saints go marching in. When I got older, I realized they were singing about a football team. But when I was a child...I thought it meant that the Lord wanted to make sure that I knew that He cares for us all from the moment we were born. It is written: in Philippians 1:6 ... Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Yeshua tells us in Luke 19:13: And He called His ten servants, and delivered them $495.00, and said unto them,Occupy til I come. Thanks to all & enjoy the read.

THEY  SEE  NO  WAY  OUT,
BUT ... THE  SAINTS  COMING  IN .  ( ECHO )
THEY'RE  READY  TO  HEAR  GOD'S  WORD ...
THEY'RE  READY  TO  START,
TO  START  LIVING  BY  FAITH .  ( ECHO )
WHILE  IT  IS  YET  DAY,
WE  MUST     OCCUPY .

SO  GATHER  AROUND ,
THE  ALTER  AND  PRAY .
FEAST  ON - THE  FOOD,
OF  THE  LORD .
SIT - AT -  THE  FEET ...
AND  GET  INSTRUCTION  FROM  GOD .
WHILE  IT  IS  YET  DAY,
WE  MUST     OCCUPY .

SO  GATHER  AROUND ...
THE  ALTER  AND  PRAY .   ( ECHO )
FEAST  ON  -  THE  FOOD ,
OF  THE  LORD .
THE  TIME  IS  NOW !
GET  MOVING  ALONG .   ( ECHO )
WHILE  IT  IS  YET  DAY ,
WE  MUST     OCCUPY .

SO  GATHER  AROUND , 
THE  ALTER  AND  PRAY .
FEAST  ON - THE  -  FOOD ,
OF , ...  THE  LORD ...
SIT  AT  THE  FEET  OF  JESUS ,
AND  LEARN  INSTRUCTION  FROM  GOD .

WHILE  IT  IS  YET  DAY ,
WE  MUST     OCCUPY ...   ( ECHO )

WHILE  IT  IS  YET  DAY ,
WE  MUST     OCCUPY ...   ( ECHO )

WHILE  IT  IS  YET  DAY ...  WE  MUST ...     OCCUPY.

INDEED, OUR GOD WHO ALWAYS FINISHES WHAT HE STARTED, GAVE US THE PERFECT PLAN, GIVING US THE STRENGTH AND THE PROVISIONS TO 'OCCUPY'...'TIL HE COMES. THANK GOD FOR 'HIS' MARVELOUS GIFTS OF MERCY AND GRACE FOR THOSE OF US WHO CAN ADMIT OUR FAILURE TO 'ARRIVE' BUT WHO, STILL...TRY...TO OCCUPY, COMING SHORT, IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THANKS FOR SHARING GEORGIA. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
