I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,

Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me.

I tremble to know that for me he was crucified,

That for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died.

Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me

Enough to die for me!

Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

Poetry: Recite "Persevere" and "The Eagle" every day. Finish memorizing "The Swan and the Goose."

The Swan and the Goose

By William Ellery Leonard

A rich man bought a Swan and a Goose--

That for song, and this for use.

It chanced his simple-minded cook

One night the Swan for Goose mistook.

But in the dark about to chop

The Swan in two above the crop,

He heard the lyric note, and stayed

The action of the fatal blade.

And thus we see a proper tune

Is sometimes very opportune.

I know that my Redeemer lives.

What comfort this sweet sentence gives!

He lives, he lives, who once was dead.

He lives, my ever-living Head.

He lives to bless me with his love.

He lives to plead for me above.

He lives my hungry soul to feed.

He lives to bless in time of need.

He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”

The Eagle

By Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Close to the sun in lonely lands.

Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;

He watches from his mountain walls.

And like a thunderbolt he falls.

BUT- Sister Jessee told me she LOVES it and it is one on her favorites.  Why is that???  What do you think?  Why would Sister Jessee love it but I can't stand it?

The song that we are learning is I Will Walk with Jesus. Watch the sing along video and practice the first 2 verses. (Here is the sheet music, if you'd like it.)

1. Jesus walked in wisdom; Jesus grew in truth.

He showed love to God and man while in His youth.

Jesus wants to guide me. Jesus shows the way,

Calling me to come and walk with Him each day.

2. I can grow like Jesus. I will try each day—

Promising to walk His path and there to stay.

Standing by my Savior, safe within His care,

Step by step I’ll follow, and His love I’ll share.

Chorus: As I walk with Jesus to my home above,

He will bless me with His Spirit and fill me with His love,

Change my heart forever and help me clearly see.

I will walk with Jesus, and He will walk with me.

Poetry: Review and finish memorizing Persevere

Persevere

Author Unknown

The fisher who draws in his net too soon,

Won’t have any fish to sell;

The child who shuts up his book too soon,

Won’t learn any lessons well.

If you would have your learning stay,

Be patient--don’t learn too fast;

The man who travels a mile each day,

May get round the world at last.

Writing:  In "Write Your own Story" work on pages 12-15.  We will be sharing our stories on Leadership week.
