Verse of the Week: Psalm 66:20

Father of love, Lord of all creation, I will bless Your name Forever and ever.

I will declare Your grace and Your mercy, And tell of Your unfailing love Your lovingkindness is good to all; Your wings of mercy lift me when I fall.

Your lovingkindness meets my every need.

You cleanse me from righteousness, And You give new life to me Written by: Billy Funk Copyright© 1991 Integrity's Praise! Music CCLI Number: 818174
