Birthday Cheers
God Almighty be thanked
for never shutting down
His blessings keep on
pouring down
Supplying us in the midst
of enhanced community lockdown
With His grace
that’s always flowing down.
The Lord be praised for upholding our Pastor
who never slows down
He keeps cheering us against crisis
that’s putting many people down
Especially in helping us get revived
to fight tendency of breaking down
And by Christ’s strength, strive to get up
so as not to be knocked down.
God be glorified for our Pastor
who guides us “to the Lord, we bow down”
His leadership directs us to approach God
with faith, humbling down
Believing that the Saviour is graciously
reaching us down
While worshipping in spirit and in truth
reverentially kneeling down.
We greet you, Pastor, smiting pandemic gloom
that’s pressing fervour down
With hearts staying near you
despite social distancing’s pulling down
We pray that you’ll remain healthy
with great physical tone-down
And be spared from high blood pressure
since God’s peace can calm you down.
We salute you, Pastor, for your fortitude
of never quitting down
Along your fervent preaching of God’s Word
while we’re sitting down
Likewise your diligent commitment
and practice to push laziness down
Since enthusiasm in soulwinning
and ministry-works should not cool down.
Thank you, Pastor*, for strengthening
our spirits against falling down
Exhorting us that through prayer
all our cares, to the Saviour, we cast down
We lift you to the Lord Who can conquer
enemies that tear you down
Persuaded that you’re a gift from God
indeed heavenly sent-down.
*Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
