Alone...

So, Ronna has gone away for 5 days. She left last night, and so far the good ship Myles-Era is still afloat. Managed to get the kids up and out to school this morning without too much trouble, and even took them both in the bike trailer. Ronna (congas) and I (guitar and voice) played for the worship time at the Alpha Course last night. It went well, and seemed to connect with the people who were there. We ended with "Be Thou My Vision" Powerful words......

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 Fa-ther, 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 heav'ns Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

After we finished playing and just before she left, we sat down by the water, and thanked God for it all. We are so blessed.....
