“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,

and naked I will depart.

The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;

may the name of the Lord be praised.”

Our Treasure in Heaven

One little life, tho yet unborn

Never to enter a world forlorn

Never to visit a place so marred

Never to see what sin has scarred

Called from the womb, ere breath begun

Called by the Savior, His chosen one

This one of our family the river to ford-

Our little loved one to dwell with the Lord.

“Mommy, I’m waiting in heaven for you

Daddy, I’ll see you when your life is thru

It’s wonderful here with sins all forgiven

I’m happy to be here – your Treasure in Heaven.”

-John Short

Psalm 20 New International Version (NIV)

May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;

may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

May he send you help from the sanctuary

and grant you support from Zion.

May he remember all your sacrifices

and accept your burnt offerings.[b]

May he give you the desire of your heart

and make all your plans succeed.

May we shout for joy over your victory

and lift up our banners in the name of our God.

May the Lord grant all your requests.

Now this I know:

The Lord gives victory to his anointed.

He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary

with the victorious power of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

They are brought to their knees and fall,

but we rise up and stand firm.

Lord, give victory to the king!

Answer us when we call!
