Oh God, Raboni,
My heart is burdened in agony
 of want of you
drying up like the winter dew.

Heal this mind almost lost,

Turn not away Your help today.
 As I travel this heaven's pathway
I bow my head to pray never
 let me ever stray
but let my head under
Thy shadow lay.

Bonar Glory to God for His inexhaustible wealth of mercies, our Lord Jesus Christ that out of His limitless love has left the azure realm of glory above to embrace a wooden cross at Calvary in order to save us from eternal damnation, and the Holy Spirit for His comfort every moment on our pilgrimage. Indeed, we can affirm together with John Foley that in “the bid to find Christ, He has found us.” Incontrovertibly, our contemporary world is wallowing under the tyrannical sway of darkness as the political, economic and even the religious institutions sink deeply into the chasm of compromises and retrogression. However, as the Lord has gathered us together this year again with a ‘Cry for Revival’, we hear the Lord saying expressly that “I shall restore the years that the locust have eaten… I will pour out my spirit
