Bible Reading for Day 79

Gospel of Matthew, 19:13-15

Little Children

Then the people brought little children to him, so that he might lay his hands on them, and pray. The disciples reprimanded them. But Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come to me; do not forbid them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to the likes of them."

And he laid his hands on them, and then departed from that land.

Hymn

'You Raise Me Up'

Composed by: Brendan Graham and Rolf Lovland - Copyright 2002

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

This video is a bit commercialized, but then, that's the only way something this sweet and godly would find its way onto a major network television show:
