Jesus is just allright with me...

nice little piece on Christianity in the Dompost this morning.
Jesus knew the frailty of humanity but he offered his life to redeem us from sin.
that should be enough for most people except those who want to press some hand of authority down on everyone else in the name of some God of their own choosing.
Namely themselves!
nasty stuff.
Our celebrant this morning gave a nice little homily about Saint Elizabeth of Hungary at the morning service.

It is by the example of others that we can hope to go through life and do the best we can and pray for Gods grace.

Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Trying to follow our Savior and King;
Shaping our lives by His blessèd example,
Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.

Refrain

How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Stepping in the light, stepping in the light,
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Led in paths of light.

Pressing more closely to Him Who is leading,
When we are tempted to turn from the way;
Trusting the arm that is strong to defend us,
Happy, how happy, our praises each day.

Refrain

Walking in footsteps of gentle forbearance,
Footsteps of faithfulness, mercy, and love,
Looking to Him for the grace freely promised,
Happy, how happy, our journey above.

Refrain

Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Upward, still upward, we follow our Guide;
When we shall see Him, “the King in His beauty,”
Happy, how happy, our place at His side.

Refrain
