A 21 st Birthday Algoa Bay Port Elizabeth

It happens once a lifetime to everyone of us
accompanied by detailed plans, excitement and much fuss;
It’s such a special birthday and a really vital stage
of growth to maturity – when at last we come of age.

Now it is the birthday of this precious church of ours
and we celebrate with joy amongst the music and the flowers;
Years of seeing God’s goodness in so many different ways
And to Him goes all the glory and the honour and the praise.

No matter what the future holds, no matter what we’ve planned
our trust is in our Father and we’re guided by His hand;
Encouraged by His Spirit, enveloped by Christ’s love
Equipped to be His servants `til we celebrate above.
