WHEN WE WERE YOUNG - CIKANYERE 1988

 

He LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

and rejoice
and flowers will bloom

In the silence
between the spaces
we can hear
sounds,
thoughts,
pictures,
so clear

VOLUNTERS PREPARE TO HELP THE SICKS AND DISABLES FOR THE CANDLES PROCESSION AT SANCTUARIES LOURDES

 

I myself will look after
and tend my sheep,
The lost I will seek out,
the strayed I will bring back,
the injured I will bind up,
the sick I will heal.
