God Cares For You
As you walk through the storms of life
Trust in God...He will bring you through
He is with you in sunshine and shadows
Call on Him and He will Comfort you.
It is not easy to bear these burdens
Remember though...Jesus had trials too
These difficult places can help us grow
God will never leave nor forsake you.
We trust God will bless you, always
Don't ever give up...whatever you do
Just walk by Faith and not by sight
Many thoughts and Prayers are with you.
Times are not easy you're called to bear
And even though you may not understand
Keep your eyes focused on our loving God
He holds you in the palm of His hand.
Keep looking upward...God is watching
And far beyond what your eyes can see
God knows everything you're going through
He loves you and cares for you, tenderly.

Forever...with Him
God loves me ~ I know it is true
He Saved me many years ago
He always does so much for me
He is a wonderful Saviour to know.
God loved me as a newborn baby
His love continued in my youth
As middle-age years crept on me
I still claimed His Sacred Truth.
As I come into the advanced years
God's love still continues for me
There's Faith to Believe in Him
He will be with me through Eternity.
He is near and Joy fills my heart
There is nothing what-so-ever to fear
He is a Comfort in times of Sorrow
He sees and dries each fallen tear.
God has given Mercy and protects me
Wherever I am ~ He is always there
He cares for me in the day and night
He listens to every humble prayer.
He Saved others and still Saves today
Come while there is an earnest plea
Sin will sadly cause you to reject Him
His love will never fail you ~ nor me.

I Am Blessed
In those times when I am alone,
It's a time to meditate and pray;
I know God is on His Throne,
He leads and guides me each day.
There are times when trials come,
Many things in life I don't understand;
When there are burdens to overcome,
It's then ~ God holds my weary hand.
God is near and claims me as His Own,
Even when my life and path seem dim;
I trust Him when I am far from home,
I'm blessed and forever secure with Him.
If I abide in Him and His Divine Love,
He will keep me from going astray;
There is a Home waiting for me above,
Beyond this world ~ in Eternal Day.
There is a beautiful Land far away,
For Saints who love and serve Jesus;
Each Commandment, we must obey,
Let's all be ready when He comes for us.

I Need You, Lord
There are trials in my life, Lord,
My eyes are often dimmed with tears;
I pause to search Your Holy Word,
Then...I feel You calm all my fears.
The road is rough and steep, I travel,
Trusting to soon reach the mountains height;
It seems my life will crumble and un-ravel,
Then...in the distance I see a light.
There's pain in my heart, Lord, again today,
It seems my heart-aches will never end;
I weep while the sky is still dim and gray,
Then...a rose with dew is like a good friend.
I cannot make it on my own way, Lord,
There is a need for Your presence each hour;
I see Your creation in every rainbow and bird,
Then...I pause to recognize Your Power.
My life is fading as the life of a flower,
I feel helpless as loved ones pass away;
You are my Hope, my Peace and Strong Tower,
Then...I gain strength when I pause to pray.
Friends are a light in the darkness as a candle,
Glimmering with a soft and flickering glow;
Just when I thought my life was like a shamble,
You whispered sweet peace to me and then...
Blessings commenced to over flow.

Pause For A Moment
Yesterday is gone and is now past,
We cannot bring any words back again;
Words must be kept sweet and true,
They are planted deep as in the sand.
Tomorrow is still in the future for us,
It's known only to God, so we press on;
We cannot know what is yet ahead,
Each moment given is quickly gone.
Today is the day of Salvation,
Each heart beat is a gift from God;
Live for Him and give Him praise,
Rejoice ~ as on this journey we trod.
Pause awhile and watch the sun rise,
It's a moment God gives for prayer;
Catch a glimpse of dew on a rose,
For you, dear friend, He does care.
As each day comes to its closure,
Time passes quickly into weeks;
While the sky is painted for a sunset,
Watch in silence as God speaks.
Shadows of evening covers the earth,
Pause to forgive others again today;
Don't let the sun go down on any wrath,
Clean the slate and kneel down to pray.
Watch as the night sky is soon ablaze,
Sparkling as precious diamonds there;
Pause and speak with God while alone,
Lovingly, for you, He truly does care.

The Way Of Life
When life's storms rage around us,
Call to Jesus and kneel to pray;
He gives shelter in His loving arms,
Guiding and giving protection each day.
The ways of life are not always easy,
Often, there is trouble in the way;
We may stumble, but Jesus cares,
He gently keeps us from going astray.
The enemy prowls and seeks to devour,
That's when we must call on Jesus;
Prayers are the answer for our happiness,
Jesus is the One whom we must trust.
Some day the raging storms will cease,
Our soul will be at peace on Heaven's shore;
There, no heartaches will ever be known,
Trials can never again, against us roar.
Heaven awaits the Saints who love Jesus,
A place of rest, love, joy and peace;
There will be a reunion with loved ones,
Praising Jesus with Angels to never cease.
Let's put aside all our differences and get
ready to meet Him...He is coming soon.

Jesus Cares
Does Jesus care when you are sad?
Oh yes, He cares for you, dear friend;
Keep your eyes focused on Him, always,
There's Joy and on Him you can depend.
Jesus cares when things go wrong,
He watches over you, day and night;
He walked the roads of sorrows too,
Rejoice and keep your vision bright.
Walk by faith and not by sight,
Trust in Him so you don't go astray;
Lean on Him ~ He will guide you,
Just remember...don't forget to pray.
Call on Him in times of trouble,
He knows everything that you need;
He waits patiently for you to come,
It matters not of race, color or creed.
There is a harvest time ahead,
First though, we must plant the seed;
Seeds of Joy, happiness, love and peace,
Forgive others and pull up angers weed.
God is Love, so walk daily with Him,
He will forgive every sin you regret;
He cares about you and each problem too,
Remember friend, God is not finished yet.

Thank You Father
Father, I come in humble prayer,
Asking for Your Wisdom again today;
Thank You for always watching over me,
There are so many obstacles in my way.
Please, Father, give peace to the weary,
Give strength to those who lost their way;
Watch over the lonely and those in sin,
Comfort those who grieve a loss today.
There's a great need for Your love each day,
It is not possible to make it on my own;
I know nothing is impossible for You,
You hear each prayer, tear, sigh and groan.
Father, please don't let me go astray,
Every moment, I need Your tender care;
So un-worthy still, but I give You praise,
Thank You for hearing each humble prayer.
Thank You, again, for Your protection,
Thank You for Your tender, loving embrace;
Thank You for being with me when I'm weak,
Thank You for Saving me by Your Grace.
In the precious Name of Jesus,
~ Amen ~

Tears
Tears of affliction may dim the eyes,
While the winds of temptations blow;
Seas of discouragement send sorrows,
Be patient and wait for blessings to flow.
Each new day gives a new beginning,
Tears may flow, but God understands;
Speak with Him in humble prayer,
He will help you...trust His Plan.
Tears are seen and heard by our God,
Jesus wept too, when Lazarus had died;
He knows our thoughts before we think them,
He knows each sorrow when we have cried.
The heart may feel as if to be breaking,
There's tenderness, weakness and pain;
In times like these we must remember,
God did not promise every day without rain.
There are clouds in life that will come,
God has faithfully promised to be with us;
We must trust Him, always, for all things,
It's too easy to complain, fret and fuss.
Turn everything over to our Heavenly Father,
Watch as He turns the problems around;
This world is not a permanet dwelling place,
He lifts the troubled soul to Higher ground.
Pray and trust Him today, dear friend,
You will be so thankful you did;
Things will not always be as now,
Let burdens and tears with Him be hid.

Traveling On
Each of us are on a Journey,
We must keep traveling on;
A choice must be made who we'll serve,
Every day with the morning's dawn.
The trials and burdens may be many,
The baggage we carry is so heavy;
Even though we become weary of traveling,
Jesus helps us to keep our feet steady.
We need have no fear in our heart,
In Heaven our Victory will be won;
God sends Angels to protect us,
So let's keep traveling on.
Someday, God will call our name,
It may be sooner than we think;
With Hope, we must prepare our life,
We must never allow our faith to shrink.
Keep traveling on...we'll meet Jesus,
Someday we will reach our goal;
The books will be opened and we'll know then,
How every sin un-forgiven will take its toll.
If we walk with God...He will walk with us,
He will lead, guide and direct us from wrong;
Until He calls us from this earth,
Be patient and just keep traveling on.

Hold Fast To The Rock
Troubles sometimes overwhelm me,
I could so easily fall into despair;
Then I think of Jesus and Calvary,
Through it all, I am able to bear.
I must always hold fast to the Rock,
The Rock that is Higher than I;
Jesus stands at my heart to knock,
If I let Him in ~ all tears He will dry.
In holding on to the Solid Rock,
Man cannot dis-lodge me ~
nor ocean's high tide;
As a shell grips the wet,
moss-covered rock,
I'll live close to God ~
in Him to abide.
Then ~ when troubles in life arise,
I may be tempted to give-in and let-go;
But that would not be at all wise,
I can overcome, holding fast to the Rock.
That Rock ~ the Solid Rock ~ is Jesus,
His Perfect Love casts out all fear;
There is none other ~ there's only Jesus,
I am thankful He is always near.

Calvary
What must it have been like,
When Jesus was on trial?
Then to hear the cock crow,
How He must have felt with denial.
To have those He loved,
Turn away and forsake Him;
Surely He grieved to see,
Such wickedness and sin.
What must it have been like,
To watch His suffering?
Those cruel men with hatred,
Then to hear the murmuring.
What must it have been like,
To watch Jesus carry His Cross?
Bleeding and still walking on,
Surely, it appeared as a loss.
What must it have been like,
To see nails pierce His hands?
Then His feet ~ and those thorns,
Could only God understand?
What must it have been like,
To see Jesus hanging on the Cross?
I am thankful He did this for me,
To save my soul from Eternal loss.
What must it have been like,
To hear Jesus cry, "It is Finished"
His Love ~ Wondrous Love,
Had hope and trust been diminished?
What must it have been like,
To see Jesus bow His head?
Surely there were tears to flow,
Everyone knew He was dead.
He was tenderly laid to rest,
A borrowed Tomb was given;
He would not need it long ~ we're blest!
He Arose and is now in Heaven.
He said He would go, but will return,
"Occupy until I come" ~ He said;
I'm waiting for Him ~ He is coming soon,
Awake! He Arose! He is Not dead!

The Prodigal Son
St. Luke 15: 11-32
The Prodigal Son was not content,
He made a choice to not live at home;
Did he fully know what this meant...
When he chose to leave and be alone?
He gathered what he had for his journey,
From his loving father, he wanted his share;
Then he went into a far away Country,
Where he wasted it all with sinful fare.
Then a famine came in that land,
This son became in a very great need;
A farmer sent him into his fields as a hired man,
The farmers pigs there, he was to feed.
He was hungry but no-one gave to him,
It was then, he thought of his father at home;
He knew he had chosen a life of sin,
He now felt so very much alone.
He arose and returned to his father,
His father saw him coming ~
while yet a long way off;
He ran to his son ~ embraced him
with loving pity,
He kissed him...a feast and a party began.
His brother was angry and would not go in,
He had been faithful and worked hard at home;
His father went out to plead with him,
Begged him to come in...why be our there alone?
The father gave a message clear and plain,
The older son never refused to work the ground;
He explained his brother was dead ~ is alive again,
He was lost ~ and now is found.
