How Wonderful, O Lord

One of God's great gifts to Calvary has been the prayerful outpourings of singer/songwriter Toddie Stewart. Her daily discipline has been to sit at the piano and pray the psalms as the Spirit gives utterance. Many of these songs have been taught to the congregation so we share in the heartsongs of hope!

Recently Toddie wrote:
This was from my morning session today - so it's pretty fresh. I have been using Ray MacGinnis' book "Writing the Sacred" in my morning sacred time and have been pleased with what comes from it. I use Ray's book as a conscious exercise to help me write my thoughts about and to God - the source of all our creativity. Writing the exercise down on paper honors the gift, the Giver and also enriches the lives of the gifted ones.
God bless you. Shalom.


How Wonderful, O Lord

How wonderful, O Lord, You have been to me.
You have cradled me and loved me as Your child.
You washed and fed and clothed me,
You prompted me; Your voice was clear,
Healed my heart to open up to You.

How wonderful, O Lord, You have been to me.
You have guided me and pardoned me with Your grace.
You spoke my name; Your call was sure,
You showed the way for me to go,
Trained my feet to follow after You.

How wonderful, O Lord, you have been to me.
You quickened my steps to run after You,
You lifted my eyes to behold you,
You caused my knees to bow before you,
Taught my heart to sing your song.
How wonderful, O Lord, you have been to me.
