Contemplate
There are times I contemplate
Contemplate all HE will see
When before the bar I stand
And his gaze will fall on me
Hoping I have tried my best
To attain sweet heavens rest.

Lord take my hand (set to music)
Lord take my hand and lead me
Throughout life’s walk on earth
Thy spirits grace to teach me
The purpose of my birth.

Lord help me not to falter
When days are dim and grey
Protect me Lord from danger
To trust thee and obey
Lord touch my eyes, prepare them
Thy blessed face to see
To honour and to praise thee
Throughout Eternity.
He sees a Diamond
He see’s a Diamond deep in the Heart of each soul
And promised that we’d see it too some day
He makes a Diamond by placing pressure on Coal
If we will but endure and walk his way.
The gathering Soon the summer will be over, Soon the harvest time will start Then our Lord will send his Angels Gathering all the pure in Heart. Soon our Saviour will be coming To reap Nations one by one Sifting dross from ripened wheat Make creation's plan complete.

The winds of change
The winds of change are blowing
Across our earth with might
The Seeds of war are growing
All Nations feel the plight
Fears in human hearts awaken
Confidence of men are Shaken
How long shall evil Leader’s sway
The peaceful hours of this our day.
Zwei Wochen vor meinem 94, fragten wir uns, ob wir einer große Fete ausweichen wollen. Ob wir, uns statt dessen fit genug finden würden, einen Trip nach Sydney zu unternehmen. Unser, der Melbournetempel bliebe noch einige Wochen wegen Renovierungsarbeiten geschlossen, der zu Sydney stand uns zur Verfügung. Wir beschlossen den langen Weg zu nehmen, über Lake Entrance, Merirmbula und so weiter. Plan war jeden Tag 300 km zu reisen, jeder jeweils 150 am Steuer. Damit war keiner überfordert. Merimbula hatte für Ingrid und mich selbst eine besondere Bedeutung in unserer Vorgeschichte die dann 2004 zur Eheschließung führte. Wunderbar, am Pazifischen Ozean gelegen, weist Merimbula als Seebad eine Reihe Sehenswürdigkeiten aus. An meinem Geburtstag betrog uns der Navigator um 36 km. Unverdrossen fuhr ich bei bester Stimmung mit einem Stop 500, bis unserem Wegweiser die Puste ausging und wir kurz vor unserem Hotel in Wollongong mitten im dichtesten Verkehr ratlos stecken blieben.
