Burnside Blog
Each week day this Blog contains prayer topics, articles, a short devotional video and a Jigsaw.
This week we Lent begins and we are going to be using the book “Quietness & Trust” each day to guide our thoughts. Even if you don’t have the book you can still listen each day, but the book will contain additional information including prayers and a pattern of worship to follow each day. There are also songs to listen to each day of Lent.
Remember that there will be readings Monday to Saturday each week with a break each Sunday.
There are also links below to the previous Blogs this week, so that you and catch up on any that you have missed.

Some of our Blog readers spotted this hymn on Tides a couple of weeks ago and suggested that we should try to sing it in church, so that is what we are going to do on Sunday. You can listen to the hymn above and read the words below and practice for Sunday.

I have a friend, a faithful friend
And Jesus is His name
I have a friend, a Saviour friend
And Jesus is His name
He will not leave, He stands by me
My Shepherd He remains
V2
I have a friend, a mighty friend
And Jesus is His name
I shall not fear, He holds me near
His strength will keep me safe
CHORUS
His name is True King Lord of creation
Ruler without end
I call Him Hope, Peace, Wonderful Saviour
And what joy that Jesus calls me friend!
V3
I have a friend, the kindest friend
And Jesus is His name
He hears my cry, by day or night
And wipes my tears away
CHORUS
His name is True King Lord of creation
Ruler without end

And what joy that Jesus calls me friend!

And trampled on the grave!
