In the Pastures of the Lord

This morning at St. Joe's we sang a beautiful choir arrangement of Pastures of the Lord by Curtis Stephan.  It is simply gorgeous, and totally inspiring.  It almost brought me to tears.

Lord, now your servant may go in peace;
your salvation mine eyes have seen.
I will walk near running streams
in the pastures of the Lord.

The day is gone, the work is done;
many battles I’ve lost and won.
I shall rest and find welcome
in the pastures of the Lord.

Lord, lay me down in verdant fields,
in green valleys with golden hills,
there to find your face revealed
in the pastures of the Lord.

Lord, let this trav’ler find sweet repose.
From pain and sorrow your mercy leads
to living waters, where angels sing
in the pastures of the Lord.

Lord, now your servant may go in peace;
your salvation mine eyes have seen.
Only goodness shall follow me
in the pastures of the Lord,
in the pastures of the Lord.

New Year's Cooking

What I am up to today: a crock pot dahl from the cookbook Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker, while listening to Christmas Carols (still!).  And I get to use my new Cutco Vegetable Knife (Christmas present from Paul - love!).  It is a good day for warm cooking.  We are in the midst of a snowstorm.
