Kilby Snow plays “Troubles”

Lyrics

Oh lordy me and oh lordy my
See when you haven’t got a dime
When your trouble’s are so deep
You can’t eat nor sleep
See when your troubles are like mine
See when your troubles are like mine

I asked the Captain for a job
He said, “Son what can you do?”
“I can line a track, I can ball the jack”
“I can pick and shovel, too”
“Pick and shovel, too”

Oh lordy me and oh lordy my
See when you haven’t got a dime
When your trouble’s are so deep
You can’t eat nor sleep
See when your troubles are like mine
See when your troubles are like mine

Oh lordy me and oh lordy my
See when you haven’t got a dime
When your trouble’s are so deep
You can’t eat nor sleep
See when your troubles are like mine
See when your troubles are like mine

How Firm a Foundation

  1. How firm a foundation, ye Saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in his excellent word! What more can he say than to you he hath said, Who unto the Savior, who unto the Savior, Who unto the Savior for refuge have fled?
  2. In ev’ry condition—in sickness, in health, In poverty’s vale or abounding in wealth, At home or abroad, on the land or the sea—As thy days may demand, as thy days may demand, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be.
  3. Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed, For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, upheld by my righteous, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
  4. When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o’erflow, For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee, and sanctify to thee, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
  5. When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply. The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, thy dross to consume, Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
  6. E’en down to old age, all my people shall prove My sov’reign, eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hair shall their temples adorn, Like lambs shall they still, like lambs shall they still, Like lambs shall they still in my bosom be borne.
  7. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot, desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never, no never, I’ll never, no never, I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!

Pray for Dr. Zev

Are you familiar with the most compassionate, kind, generous Dr. Zev Zelenko?

https://projectwaistline.com/?p=26923

Prayers requested for Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. His cancer has returned and he needs to once again undergo chemotherapy and have another open heart surgery. (For Jews adding him to their teffilot, his Hebrew name is Zeev ben Lea.)

Dr. Zelenko requests that we all stay positive. I have a personal request that you learn more about this true American hero and patriot so that your prayers have a greater depth and intention.

Dr. Zelenko emigrated to America from Russia. He received his medical degree from University at Buffalo, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Zelenko was the primary care provider for most of the ultra-Orthodox Chassidic Satmar community in Kiryat Joel, in the Hudson Valley of New York.

Dr. Zelenko developed his now famous “Zelenko Protocol,” which has saved countless lives worldwide, while he was fighting recurrent and metastatic sarcoma, had open heart surgery, and aggressive chemotherapy. He has also persevered against unrelenting defamation of character from the media, and threats against his person.

Dr. Zelenko is an observant orthodox Jew, married with 8 children, and has authored two books called Metamorphosis and Essence to Essence.

Dr. Zelenko attended the January 6, 2021 rally at Washington D.C. He was quoted as saying “I support anyone who is willing to help people and maintain liberty and spread truth, so if the Proud Boys are doing that, then I would support them. I don’t support violence; I don’t support tactics that may lead to bigotry and so on, but I do support freedom-loving patriots that are willing to stand up for the liberties of this country.”

May God bring Dr. Zelenko a complete and speedy recovery. May He keep him safe and protected during these dangerous times. May he gift him with a long and prosperous life, “ad meah v’esrim” (until the age of 120, like our greatest teacher, sage and prophet Moses).

(Written by a friend of Dr. Zev)
