“Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,
O my soul, Jehovah praise!
I will sing the glorious praises,
Of my God through all my days!”
This is the song that has been on our hearts as we see progress finally begin on the new building!
This week — erosion fencing went up,
then trucks came on site and started excavation on the alternate entrance for construction and emergency vehicles.
This has been a long time coming, and we continue to praise God through the delays AND the progress. Hallelujah, praise Jehovah!

Hallelujah, Praise Jahovah — Psalm 146
Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,
O my soul, Jehovah praise!
I will sing the glorious praises,
Of my God through all my days!
Put no confidence in princes,
Nor for help on man depend.
He shall die, to dust returning,
And his purposes shall end.
Happy is the one who chooses
Israel’s God to be his aid.
We are blessed whose hope of blessing
On the Lord our God is stayed.
Heaven and earth the Lord created
Seas and all that they contain.
He delivers from oppression
Righteousness He will maintain.
Food He daily gives the hungry
Sets the mourning prisoner free.
Raises those bowed down with anguish
Makes the sightless eye to see.
Well Jehovah loves the righteous,
And the stranger He befriends.
Helps the fatherless and widow
Judgment on the wicked sends.
Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,
O my soul, Jehovah praise!
I will sing the glorious praises
Of my God through all my days.
Over all God reigns forever.
Through all ages He is King!
Unto Him, thy God, O Zion,
Joyful hallelujahs sing!
