Psalm 133

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
   For brethren to dwell together;
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
   For brethren to dwell in unity.

It is like the precious oil
   Upon the head of Aaron
   Running down his beard
   And the edge of his garments.
It is like the dew of Hermon
   Descending on the mountains
   Of Zion.

For there the Lord has commanded
   The blessing,
   The blessing -
      Life forevermore,
      Life forevermore.

Note:  I love this psalm and the metaphors used to describe the blessing of Church unity.  When the Church unites, the blessing of God descends upon the Body of Christ,  just as the oil of God's anointing runs down Aaron's beard and the dew descends upon the mountains.  We rejoice with all of our brothers and sisters in Christ who share the blessing of Life eternal in Christ Jesus.  Let us strive to be unite our hearts and lives with all of our brothers and sisters in Christ,  for we are all part of the Body of Christ.

Sing I Must

Lover of souls, Thee have I heard,

   Thee will I sing, for sing I must;

Thy good and comfortable word

   Hath raised my spirit from the dust.
