EGG SATURDAY

 

The first day of Shrovetide

Is Shrove or Egg Saturday

An Oxfordshire tradition

Sometimes called egg feast day

SHROVETIDE

 

Shrovetide begins on Egg Saturday

Heralding the coming of lent

And deciding what to give up

Is normally the way it is spent

WHERE DO YOU STAND?

 

Just standing in a palace doesn’t make you a Tsar

Any more than standing in a garage makes you a car

It doesn’t make you a cook if you stand in a kitchen

So just going to church doesn't make you a Christian

CHRIST THE REDEEMER

 

Christ the redeemer

He died on the cross

He died to save us

And His majesty

Made of the world

A place of hope

A place of grace

A place of freedom

A place of love

He called us from the darkness

Into His loving light

FAITH IS LIKE # 2

 

Faith is like electricity

You can’t see it

But you can see the light

That emanates from it

AT THE END OF HIS LONG LIFE

At the end of his long life

A Godly man passes into heaven

Where he sits with God

And revues their Journey again

 

While he looked back

Sitting at Gods right hand

He saw it represented by

Two sets of footprints in the sand

 

But he noticed that at times

There was just one set

When he was at his lowest

And he was very upset

 

So, he spoke to God and asked

That in the scene he was shown

Why at the hardest times

He walked the path alone

 

No, my son you are mistaken

At those times God said

I thought it would be more fun

If we hopped instead

THE FATHER IS WITH US EVERY MOMENT

The father is with us every moment 

Of every hour both day and night

Over every continent and island

He keeps us in His wondrous light
