Faces of Haiti: Sassy Pants

I’m sure I’ll be surprised this summer to find that all the little kids on La Montagne have grown up! I look forward to it anyway.

Haitian Creole Proverb

Here’s a great Haitian Creole proverb about neighbors:

Vwazinaj se fanmi.

“Neighbors are family.” Good neighbors are like family. What one wants for one’s family, one should want for one’s neighbors.

Oceans

La Montagne, Haiti

You call me out upon the water

The great unknown, where feet may fail

And there I find You in the mystery

In oceans deep, my faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name

And keep my eyes above the waves

When oceans rise

My soul will rest in Your embrace

For I am Yours, and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters

Your sovereign hand will be my guide

Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me

You've never failed, and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name

And keep my eyes above the waves

When oceans rise

My soul will rest in Your embrace

For I am Yours, and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders

Let me walk upon the waters

Wherever You would call me

Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander

And my faith will be made stronger

In the presence of my Savior

I will call upon Your name

Keep my eyes above the waves

My soul will rest in Your embrace

I am Yours, and You are mine

I am Yours, and You are mine

I am Yours, and You are mine

I am Yours, and You are mine
