A Shelter In the Time of Storm

A Shelter in the Time of Storm

Ira D. Sankey

The Lord's our Rock, in Him we hide A shelter in the time of storm Secure whatever ill betide A shelter in the time of storm Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land A weary land, a weary land Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land A shelter in the time of storm A shade by day; defense by night A shelter in the time of storm No fears alarm, no foes affright A shelter in the time of storm The raging storms may round us beat A shelter in the time of storm We'll never leave our safe retreat A shelter in the time of storm O Rock divine, O Refuge dear A shelter in the time of storm Be Thou our helper ever near A shelter in the time of storm The Lord bless you, and keep you; The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." Tomorrow's a new day, fellow Pinoys. Aahon tayong muli, sa awa ng Diyos!

Typhoon Ondoy

What the flood looked like through my window.

Early this morning, my youngest sister woke me up. When I went down, our kitchen is already flooded. I wasn't surprised actually, because this happens to us almost everytime there's a heavy downpour of rain. What surprised me, though, was the flood outside that reached knee deep. In my 32 years living here in Makati, in this specific area, this has NEVER happened.

This is nothing compared to what happened to our brothers and sisters located in the lower parts of Metro Manila. I'm asking everyone to please pray for our fellow Pinoys who are going through this trying time in their lives. Some of them are already living on their rooftops, some have already lost loved-ones.
