HAND IN HAND

1. When I consider God's design, raging seas and searing sand,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe when all creation joins in praise, hand in hand, hand in hand.
All creation joins in praise, hand in hand.

2. When I consider Jesus Christ, beaten, killed and broken man,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe when broken people come to him, hand in hand, hand in hand. Broken people come to him,
hand in hand.

3. When I consider human kind, feuding tribes from every land,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe
when black and white return to Christ, hand in hand, hand in hand.
Black and white return to Christ, hand in hand.

4. When I consider God's own church, sinful sort of saintly band,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe
when sinners come to share God's meal, hand in hand, hand in hand.
Sinners come to share God's meal,
hand in hand.

Back from a Break 

During September, Dorothy and I travelled
to Norway and the UK.

After long flights
- Adelaide to Melbourne,
Melb to Dubai (14 hrs),
Dubai to Oslo (7 hrs) -
we did Norway in a nutshell
from Oslo to Bergen, then
the Hurtigruten Cruise 
up the west coast of Norway
and back again.
Then an 8 day Trafalgar tour
and 4 days in London,
before taking the direct flight
(16 3/4 hrs)
from Heathrow to Perth.
We're a bit tired (!) but we'll still be a part
of the LWA convention and the 
General Convention .

See some of you there.
