God Will Take Care of You
Words: Civilla D. Martin Music: W. Stillman Martin
TUNE: MARTIN

Be not dismayed whate'er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.

Refrain:
God will take care of you
Through everyday o'er all the way
He will care for you
God will take care of you
​
Through days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you. 
when dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.
[Refrain]

All you may need he will provide,
God will take care of you.
nothing you ask will be denied,
God will take care of you.
[Refrain]

No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you.
lean, weary one, upon his breast,
God will take care of you.
​[Refrain]
Prayer For Strength
​ 
O creator and mighty God, you have promised strength for the weak, rest for laborers, light for the way, grace for trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love. O creator and mighty God help us to continue in your promise. Amen
​Scripture
Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV
​
28 Do you not know?    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.
Waiting Upon the Lord 

The prophet Isaiah says that we can become stronger by waiting upon the Lord. Unfortunately waiting is not a popular virtue. Most of our culture encourages us to get things done as quickly as possible. We tend to avoid waiting at all costs. But Isaiah says that waiting upon the Lord is like an eagle spreading its mighty wings and soaring above a storm. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up as wings of eagle’s; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. How do you need God’s strength today? It's well worth waiting for!

On Eagle's Wings
arr. by Mark Hayes

​You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear.
Under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield.
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day;
Though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand.

For unto His angels He's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways;
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you, in the palm of His hand
Postlude

O For a Heart to Praise My God 
​Life is short.
And we have little time
to Gladden the Hearts
of those who Travel with us.
So Love quickly, and
make haste to be Kind. 
May the Christ who loves us,
also travel with us,
and give us PEACE.
