From the Pastor’s Desk: Rev. Simon Lee
How spectacular is your house, O God Almighty!
My soul longs to be back at church,
my whole being yearns desperately to be back in your sanctuary,
where I can sing heartily with joy to you the living God.
How I envy the birds that find a home there, and
the sparrows can also find a safe haven there, to nest and raise their young,
right next to the sanctuary, O my King, and my God.
How blessed are those who can find rest in your house,
constantly singing praise to you!
How blessed are those who find strength in you,
in each soul is found a GPS leading them to church
In going through the windy roads and heavy traffic of the weeping city,
God creates many oases of refreshing water, blessings from early rain!
After the road most travelled by many fellow travellers,
every seeker of God can personally approach their God and worship Him.
O Lord God Almighty, hear my prayer,
listen carefully, O God of our forefathers!
Behold our protector,
look with favour on the face of Christ, your anointed One!
One day spent in your sanctuary is better than a thousand spent elsewhere.
I would rather linger and wait at the entrance of the church!
than mix in with the crowds in the parlours and casinos of the wicked world.
For you O Lord God are a royal protector,
and you O Lord, shower me with an abundant life – gifts and honour
The Lord does not hold back extravagant blessings
from those who walk with integrity.
O Lord Almighty,
How blessed is the one who trust fully in you! (SL, May 26, 2021)
