Thy Word

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

When I feel afraid, think I’ve lost my way,

still You’re there right beside me.

And nothing will I fear as long as You are near.

Please be near me to the end.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

Now I will not forget Your love for me and yet

my heart forever is wandering.

Jesus be my guide, and hold me to Your side,

and I will love You to the end.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

And a light unto my path.

A message and photographs from Mama Susan, Amazing Grace Orphanage . Dear Oliver, Sorry for taking long to respond to your message. Children and the staff are doing well only that we have too much work to do and workers are very few. Attached here with are Profile of the Association and photos of our new born children. Aputu was brought from Mijale when she was 2 days old. The mother passed on due to too much bleeding after delivery. She is 3 weeks old now. Kila Angel was brought from Arua when she was 4 days old. The mother was suffering from throat tumour. She was in coma and the doctors decided to remove Kila by operation and the mother passed on few hours later. Angel is 25 days old now. Both are doing well. I will write another message soon. Mama Susan Members have asked me to put a request for any donation of money that can go with the babies clothing (made by the Fellowship Group) that I will be taking to the orphanage as a Christmas gift. Donations can be can be put in the box at the entry of the church until 8th December . A copy of the Profile of the Association can be viewed in the parish office. Thank you ….. Rev’d Oliver
