Uit hemelhout is ons gesny, 'n klein ou skippie ek-en-jy.

Met liefde is ons neergesit op golwe groot en kruine wit.

Dit is 'n onbekende see, waar Hy vir ons die rigting gee.

Met torings liedfe langs die pad sal Hy ons om die rotse vat.

Hy het vir ons ook vis gevang.

Ons vasgehou in stormbang.


Hy het 'n hawe voorberei, waar al Sy skippies veilig bly.

Skippie ek en skippie jy...

uit hemelhout is ons gesny!

(Poet unknown, so if anyone knows who wrote this - please let me know.)

We are made out of Heaven's wood, a small little old ship you-and-me.

With love we are placed on big waves and white wave crests.

It is a known sea, where He gives us guidance.

With towers of love along the way He takes us around the rocks.

He also caught fish for us.

Held us close when we were scared of the storm.

He has a harbour prepared where all His little ships will anchor safely.

Little ship you and little ship me...

made out of Heaven's wood!

(translated by Debbie Wren)

This little Jewish girl is called Mevarseret Elitsur.

All Jewish names have meanings and hers goes like this, it's actually a sentence:

My God is a Rock, My Rock is my salvation.

She is helping restore the wall that was broken on (Mount Sinai ?).

Everyone has a special place and a meaning in life. God has seen to that. If you don't believe that, then you have believed a lie.
