No Time for Fear, But for Faith and Determination

In my last post, I said to see my next post for more about my love for baseball.  I had planned another post about that, but in light of the vote on the health care bill tonight, I will postpone the baseball post.

Re: the health care bill:  I oppose it.   I will enumerate my reasons at another time; now, however, I will say that my reaction to this is to recall the lyrics– which I think are VERY appropriate  right now–to one of my favorite songs, “God Is In Control” by Twila Paris:

 This is no time for fear.
 This is a time for faith and determination.
 Don't lose the vision here
 Carried away by emotion.
 Hold on to all that you hide in your heart.
 There is one thing that has always been true.
 It holds the world together.

 God is in control.
 We believe that His children will not be forsaken.
 God is in control.
 We will choose to remember and never be shaken.
 There is no power above or beside Him, we know.
 God is in control.  God is in control.

 History marches on.
 There is a bottom line drawn across the ages.
 Culture can make its plan
 Oh, but the line never changes.
 No matter how the deception may fly,
 There is one thing that has always been true.
 It will be true forever.

 He has never let you down;
 Why start to worry now?  Why start to worry now?
 He is still the Lord of all we see,
 And He is still the loving Father
 Watching over you and me.
