Third Day - Your Love, Oh Lord

Your love, oh Lord, reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the skies
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, yeah
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voice to worship You, my King
I will find my strength in the shadow of Your wings

ANTHEM With One Voice (With One Voice)

Written by Jesse Antelman and Bobby Scott

Priceless is Your unfailing love You give
Poured out on the cross
The price of all our sin

Beautiful are Your footsteps
Wonderful are Your acts of love
That will make all nations bow

Praise be Your name
Worthy of all acclaim
All glory and honor is Yours

You are good, forgiving
For all who call upon You will be saved
Brought from death to life

In all your ways, You are holy
In all the days, You will never change
Faithful is Your name

With one voice we shout Your praise
Holy holy be Your name
Glorified and lifted high
We live to bring You praise

Third Day - Your Love, Oh Lord

Your love, oh Lord, reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the skies
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, yeah
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voice to worship You, my King
I will find my strength in the shadow of Your wings

Psalm 36

Psalm 36

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 36

Psalm 36^[a]

    For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. ¹ I have a message from God in my heart
   concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:^[b]
There is no fear of God
   before their eyes.
 ² In their own eyes they flatter themselves
   too much to detect or hate their sin.
³ The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;
   they fail to act wisely or do good.
⁴ Even on their beds they plot evil;
   they commit themselves to a sinful course
   and do not reject what is wrong.
 ⁵ Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens,
   your faithfulness to the skies.
⁶ Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
   your justice like the great deep.
   You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.
⁷ How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
   People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
⁸ They feast on the abundance of your house;
   you give them drink from your river of delights.
⁹ For with you is the fountain of life;
   in your light we see light.
 ¹⁰ Continue your love to those who know you,
   your righteousness to the upright in heart.
¹¹ May the foot of the proud not come against me,
   nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
¹² See how the evildoers lie fallen—
   thrown down, not able to rise!

Challenges for Prayer

Religious and political freedoms gained in 1975 have transformed the nation, but high religious affiliation and freedom does not translate into genuine faith. This is reflected in the challenges of materialism, individualism and increasing substance abuse. The religious freedom gained is taken advantage of by Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons and New Age philosophies. Pray for the truth about Jesus to be made known by wise Christian leaders of all confessions.
The Roman Catholic Church is strongly traditional and retains much influence, but it is in need of renewal. The north is more loyal to Catholicism, but in the centre and south, religion is becoming irrelevant to the secularized majority. In some southern areas, less than 3% attend mass, despite efforts of several congregations to reach young people and young families. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work so that many are freed from traditionalism and encounter the Scriptures and the Saviour in a meaningful way.
