Four brothers, and that is all we get. No battles, no sayings, no great deeds. Just names God kept when everything else about them was forgotten. You may feel your life leaves nothing worth recording. Someone is still keeping the list, and He knows your name.

Make my life a place where you're at home. Clear out what doesn't belong, and walk with me through ordinary days, until it's obvious whose I am.
Thank You that You ride on Your "chariots of salvation." Your power over rivers and sea was never blind rage;…Thank You that You ride on Your "chariots of salvation." Your power over rivers and sea was never blind rage; it moved to rescue Your people. When You come in strength into my storms, You come to save, and I am grateful.

Father, show me where I've built on what wasn't mine to take, the debts I've ignored, the corners I've cut.…Father, show me where I've built on what wasn't mine to take, the debts I've ignored, the corners I've cut. I don't want to live one day ahead of a reckoning. Teach me to hold what I have loosely and honestly, and to make things right while there's still time.
