Responsorial Psalm 15


• 33rd Ordinary Sunday (Year B)

R/.
Preserve me, God, I take refuge in you.

1.
Lord, it is you who are my portion and cup;
it is you, yourself who are my prize.
keep the Lord ever in my sight;
since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm. R/.

2.
And so my heart rejoices my soul is glad;
even my body shall rest in safety.
For you will not leave my soul a-mong the dead,
nor let your beloved know decay. R/.

3.
You will show me
the path of life,
the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand, happi-ness for ever. R/.

Lyrics:

~ Song Lyrics of 'Tell Him'
~ Sung by Lauryn Hill & Colbie Caillat

Let me be patient, let me be kind
Make me unselfish without bein' blind
Though I may suffer, I'll envy it not
And endure what comes, 'cause He's all that I got and tell Him

Tell Him I need Him
Tell Him I love Him
And it'll be alright

And tell Him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

Now I may have faith, to make mountains fall
But if I lack love, then I am nothin' at all
If I can give away, everything I possess
But I'm without love then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect and not without sin
But now that I'm older all childish things end and tell Him

Tell Him I need Him
Tell Him I love Him and
It'll be alright

Tell Him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
'Cause love is not boastful
Ooh and love is not loud

Tell Him I need Him
Tell Him I love Him
Everything is gonna, gonna be alright
Ooh,
Ooh,

Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on earth
But if I speak wrong, ooh, then what is it worth?
See what we now know is nothing compared
To the love that was shown when our lives were spared and tell Him

Tell Him I need Him
Tell Him I love Him and
It'll be alright

Tell Him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright and

Tell Him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Ooh

Comments of the song:

I like how everyone thinks this song is about telling the guy you like that 
you love him, or waiting for somebody to tell you that he loves you. 
Hate to burst your bubble, but this lovely song is about the Lord. Read 1 Corinthians 13. :)
~ Danielle Hall

Before you tell a boy you love him.tell the LORD. 
this song is about Gods love.
~ enfantdeDieu1000 

Read the lyrics to the song before u say 
that. Especially the line where she says 
"See what we now know is nothing compared, To 
the love that was shown when our lives were spared"
~ MrCarter409

Its actually Lauryn Hill's song....

Art Line Drawing ~ First door to your world of opportunities

I like the first pix. The second pix was a bonus and nothing to do with line drawing.

This is the Job Search Section in the Straits Times (Singapore Newspaper).

This line-drawing is so simple and very effective.

This is just a bonus pix.

26th Ordinary Sunday (Year B) 
Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 18)

R/.
The precepts of the Lord gladden the heart.
The precepts of the Lord gladden the heart.

V1
The law of the Lord is perfect.  
It revives the soul.  
The rule of the Lord is to be trusted, 
it gives wisdom to the simple.

V2
The fear of the Lord is holy, 
abiding for ever.  
The decrees of the Lord are truth 
and all of them just.

V3
So in them your servant finds instruction 
great reward is in their keeping.  
But who can detect all his errors?  
From hidden faults acquit me.

V4
From presumption restrain your servant 
and let it not rule me.  
Then shall I be blameless, 
clean from grave sin.
