Nothing really changes, everything remains the same, we are what we are till the day that we die. If we could live in Shakespeare's days, I wonder who we'd be. If people then could live today, I wonder who we'd see. They'd probably stop a callin' a cop and ask, what's our whole world comin' to? If people then could live today, I wonder what they'd do. I guess I wonder what they'd do.

I'll read that again What did the Allied Forces do to stop Hitler's forces preventing them from carrying out the D-Day operation? Well, there were certainly some very interesting things and tricks being done, I know that We'll find out later No, I know, we'll find out later OK, right, now here's my calendar verse for June, because yes, it is June already And it says this, it's from Psalm 147 in the Bible He counts the number of the stars, he calls them all by their names So I thought it would be lovely to play that song, Indescribable, sung here at Kevin Sing with me From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea Creation to be in your majesty From the top of the falls to the treasures of the sea Every creature in its own majesty Oh, it's dreaming, indescribable, uncontainable You can't describe it in the sky as you know that by name You are amazing, God Oh, palpable, untamable, awesome, immortal body Let me call you proclaim You are amazing, God You have told every life before where it should go But the end of this world hasn't taken its toll You imagined the sun as you thought you would fly Yet you still dream of the moon as the night Come and find us in the shadows of your table You can't describe it in the sky as you know that by name You are amazing, God Oh, palpable, untamable, awesome, immortal body Let me call you proclaim You are amazing, God You are amazing, God Indescribable, indescribable, uncontainable You can't describe it in the sky as you know that by name You are amazing, God Oh, palpable, untamable, awesome, immortal body You can't describe it in the sky as you thought you would fly You are amazing, God Indescribable, indescribable, uncontainable You can't describe it in the sky as you know that by name You are amazing, God Indescribable, indescribable, uncontainable You can't describe it in the sky as you thought you would fly You are amazing, God Indescribable, indescribable, uncontainable You are amazing, God Anyway, let's get on My diary verse for the week is also a psalm Oh, it comes from a psalm, Psalm 145 And it says The Lord is near to all who call on Him To all who call on Him in truth That's a great introduction to this prayer written by our resident poet, Pat Rock It's called Early Morning Prayer I set my clock for six one day For at six thirty we would pray A prayer meeting it was to be But no one turned up, only me Twice this happened and then again This was how me, the Lord, did train To get up early in the day So before breakfast I could pray And as a habit it became I began to praise Jesus' name As early I sought Him each day I found He helped me on my way Thus I sought Him through the years He helped me in my joys and fears And Jesus Christ still thrills me so Though now to church I cannot go Since in those early years I'd known How to come to Jesus alone Thank you again, Pat, for that lovely poem Now that leads on to another song about prayer This time it's by Darlene Sheck And it's called In Jesus' Name But let's let her introduce this in her own words I love this song, In Jesus' Name I love that Israel and I were just talking a lot About worship songs And how do we write these songs for the church Going forward that would give us Such a great declaration of our faith And my life, like many of your lives Has been hit by cancer People in our immediate family That have lost their lives And I'm like, God, you said Greatest things we would do in Jesus' name So I've been just studying that And looking at that And Israel and I are talking about that And we're like, OK, so let's write a bold declaration That will really help people such as us Declare the name of Jesus over every situation That's where In Jesus' Name has come from And so, again, you get to the chorus It says, and I will live and not die If we're going to believe it, hey Then we better, good to sing it I will live and not die The resurrection power of Christ alive in me And I am free in Jesus' name And when we get to the bridge You know, it's pretty exciting Because again, you see people getting Fired up in their spirit God is fighting for us Pushing back the darkness Lighting up the kingdom that cannot be shaken In the name of Jesus The enemy is defeated And we will shout it out, shout it out That's in Jesus' name Don't allow the enemy to keep you small And push you back and dictate to you The terms and conditions of your life I encourage you to get back into the word And get, I don't know, fine tuned On what the Bible says That is the authority that we have in Christ And let's use it, let's sing it, let's stand in it Let's live in this way And you know, who knows what's going to happen But I do know that the time is urgent There is a whole lot of people on the earth That need victory in Jesus' name Sing it loud, sing of the authority, amen In rehearsal we were just practicing this song And again in my spirit I just sensed that if you are suffering Suffering, cancer You've been given a death sentence by the doctor Whatever it is We're going to sing this thing over you We're going to sing these words Straight from the word of God From the heart of God I hate cancer I hate cancer In Jesus' name Until we stand up, amen And in the name of Jesus One in our own strength But in the name of Jesus I think we've got to declare We've got to bow down In the name of Jesus We declare The things we are deprived of in this place We declare And let Jesus be baptized We declare There is healing in the name of Jesus We declare In the mighty name of Jesus in this place I declare Everyone listening To this music tonight I declare In Jesus' name Come on, we sing it out, we sing it out In the name of Jesus One in our own strength But in the name of Jesus I think we've got to declare We've got to bow down In the name of Jesus One in our own strength But in the name of Jesus I think we've got to declare One in our own strength But in the name of Jesus I think we've got to declare We've got to bow down In the name of Jesus One in our own strength But in the name of Jesus I think we've got to declare We've got to bow down In the name of Jesus One in our own strength But in the name of Jesus I think we've got to declare We've got to bow down And I am free In Jesus' name I will live I will not die I will declare With you high Right beneath me And I am healed In Jesus' name In Jesus' name In Jesus' name In Jesus' name Now it's time for our Just for Fun quiz and time for question three Yes, well, this is quiz three indeed Now, I wonder if you know any of the answers to this Here's the question Why did the Allied Forces have to make lots of new types of different equipment for this D-Day operation? And what examples were there? Now this may require a little bit of thought I don't know if you were around at the time Possibly not But I'm sure you've seen lots of programmes about D-Day especially this year for the 80th anniversary So, what does that mean? I'll read it again Why did the Allied Forces have to make lots of new types of different equipment for this operation? And what examples were there?

Question 1, what does the D in D-Day stand for? Well, the term D-Day is used by the Armed Forces to refer to the beginning of an operation The D stands for Day, meaning it's actually short for Day Day, which is nowhere near as catchy Before the Allies attack in June 1944, there would have been many D-Days However, it was so iconic that it came to be used solely when referring to the beginning of Operation Overlord on D-Day There, I wonder if you got that one Number 2, what did the Allied forces do to stop Hitler's forces preventing them from carrying out the D-Day operation? Well, they used fake news It was impossible to hide the coming attack from the German intelligence The Allies therefore ran operations to confuse them on when and where it would take place They leaked fake plans, set up fake camps and sent fake coded radio messages On the morning of the 6th June, the Allied forces bombed Calais to give the illusion they were readying for an attack The French resistance then cut telephone lines to stop news of the invasion reaching the German high command German intelligence wasn't sure whether the attack was real, even as it was taking place That's very interesting, isn't it? Then number 3, why did the Allied forces have to make lots of new types of different equipment for this operation and what examples were there? Hmm, where they were to land in Normandy, there were no ports So they invented and constructed two artificial harbours Also, they invented and made iconic landing crafts that had a ramp that dropped down into the sea Meaning troops didn't have to scramble over the side to get out And, and I've seen pictures of these, they had inflatable 3 tonne lorries Well, I wonder if you've learnt anything today? I certainly learnt something this week Well I certainly found that very interesting, thank you Jenny Now very soon we're going to be playing out our show this week with a classic rendition of that old favourite Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, which of course is very relevant to remembering D-Day But before then, it remains for us just to say goodbye and to hand over to Des for a blessing So goodbye from me And goodbye from me, hope to be with you next week Well now we're coming to the end of our programme today, it's time for the blessing, over to Des Father Almighty, should we all get lost in the feverish activities of duty today May we be brought back into your quiet presence to receive the grace of your own blessing in all that we do Amen Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, forgive our foolish ways Recluse us in our rightful guide In plural life rise to this tide It is a reverent day It is a reverent day In terrible wars my fellow man Decided fear and sin In the gracious calling of the Lord Let us like them without error Rise up and follow thee Rise up and follow thee O come, let us adore him O come, let us adore him Where he doth stand to share with thee The time of eternity O come, let us adore him Resurrected by love Drought-like rivers of guidance Fill all the striving men Take from our souls the strain and strife And let our hearts in life confess The beauty of thy faith The beauty of thy faith O come, let us adore him O come, let us adore him O come, let us adore him O come, let us adore him O come, let us adore him O come, let us adore him O come, let us adore him O come, let us adore him
