We Fall Down Lyrics


We fall down
We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus

The greatness of
Mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus

We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
Is the lamb

We fall down
We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus

The greatness of
Mercy and love


At the feet of Jesus

We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
Is the lamb

We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
Is the lamb

My Jesus, I love you
I know thou are mine
To thee all the follies of sin I resent
My gracious redeemer
My savior, art thou
If ever I'll love you
My Jesus tis now

Living Word lyrics

By : Hammond Fred

Bread of heaven sent down from glory,
Many things you were on earth,
A holy king a carpenter,

You are the living word

Bread of heaven, sent down from Glory
Many things you were on earth,
A holy king a carpenter,

You are the living word

(2x)
Awesome ruler gentle redeemer,
God with us the living truth,
And what a friend we have in you,

you are the living word

(2x)
Jesus Jesus, thats what we call you,
Manger born but on a tree,
You died to save humanity

you are the living word

(2x)
oh oh oh,
oh oh oh oh oh,
oh oh oh,
oh oh oh,oh oh

ohhh oh

you are the living word

(2x)
Jesus Jesus
that's what we call you,
Jesus Jesus Lord
oh oh oh oh oh oh
ohhhhhh oh

you are the living word

Keeping the Holiday's in Perspective



"I want that" This time of year I seem to hear that statement a lot. So to help the family keep the Holiday's in there true perspective we volunteered at the Ronald McDonald house. This is a wonderful organization and outreach. Families are able to live in a somewhat home environment while their children are receiving treatment. Most patients have severe life threatening illness. It was a joy to be able to feed these families and have the children sing Christmas songs. I watched my girls play and laugh with very sick children. For that moment no one was sick they were just children laughing and having fun. I watched as a little boy decided he would eat some macaroni and cheese and then come and ask for some more. What joy it was to see someone enjoy something so simple. I also saw a hurting mother trying to be the martyr. She would not accept the food and appeared to have been crying. I relate to her the most. Mothers through time have been the ones to solve the childrens problems and take away the hurts. The Holidays seemed different after that visit. We were thanked for helping but I had to stop and thank them for allowing us to come. I am a grateful mother.

If anyone is interested I found a wish list on the Ronald McDonald house website

Homemade whole wheat cinnamon rolls



This recipe is from "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" cookbook. Favorite recipes from the Belle Center Amish Community.

2 pkg. active dry yeast
2 1/2 cup warm water
4 Tbsp. shortening ( I use olive oil)
2 tsp salt
6 cup whole "white" wheat
1/4 cup honey

Dissolve yeast in water. Stir in honey. Add shortening (olive oil) and salt and 2 cup flour. Mix well. Stir in remaining flour and let rise (approx. 45 min.) until double in bulk. Punch down well. Let rise again. Roll out and put in pans. I let it rise again. Makes 2 large loaves or 3 small ones. Bake at 375 for 30 - 35 min.


To make the cinnamon rolls I used half the dough and rolled it flat added melted butter, cinnamon and sugar. Roll the dough up and slice into rolls. Place rolls in a baking pan. Allow to rise. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 min. Glaze is powdered sugar and 3 tsp of milk.
