Sonidos Serranos

Sonidos Serranos: Sounds of the Sierras...
Reflecting some of my family's interests: God's wonderful creation (especially mountains and hills!), music, and language...

Psalm 121:1-2 (NASB)

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.

“O God, My Joy!”

O God, my joy, you reign above
In radiant splendor and beauty.
Your Word has drawn my heart to love
The awesome sight of your glory.
Your blazing light and gospel grace
Shine brightly from my Savior’s face.
No other wonder would I see
Than Christ enthroned in his glory!

Sustained by joy in trial and pain,
I trust your wisdom and mercy.
Through suff'ring that your love ordains,
More like Your Son you will make me.
For Christ embraced the cross of shame,
Beholding glorious joys to come.
O give me faith like his to see
That suff’ring lifts me to glory!

Compelled by joy, I fight the sin
That turns my gaze from your glory.
Your Holy Spirit dwells within;
His presence arms me for vict’ry.
Let death and hell against me rise;
Through death I'll gain eternal joys.
All pow'rs of hell will bend the knee
Before my great King of glory!
