Hope 12 Lily of Valley 10/23-24/20

 23-24 October 2020 - Hope Series 12 - Manna from Dorothy & Tony Callies                   Theme: Lily of the Valley

Song of Solomon 2:1b "I am . . . the Lily of the Valley." 

            The flowers, the lilies are so small and they are found in the hidden valley. Jesus is our hidden "Lily of the Valley." You could only find Him in the hidden valley of our day to day activity. This is far more enriching experience than the mountaintop experience.

Song: The Lily of the Valley
*1. I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me;
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; 
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay
He tells me every care on Him to roll.
He's the Lily of the Valley, the bright and morning star; 
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 

*2. He all my grief has taken and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower; 
I have all for Him forsaken and all my idols torn
From my heart, and He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempts me sore, 
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal; 
He's the Lily of the Valley, the bright and morning star; 
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 

*3. He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will; 
A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear; 
With His manna He's my hungry soul to fill.
Then sweeping up to glory, to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll! 
He's the Lily of the Valley, the bright and morning star; 
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 
(Lyrics: Charles W. Fry; Music: William S. Hays) 

May the song bless your heart as it has blessed me!
