My ABC In God

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!


"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

The voice of God is Calling

The Voice of God is calling

The voice of God is calling
Its summons unto men ;
As once He spake in Zion,
So now He speaks again ,
Whom shall I send to succor
My people in their need ?
Whom shall I send to shatter
The fetters which they bear ?

We heed , O Lord , Thy summons ,
And answer : Here are we !
Let us Thy servants be .
Our strength is dust and ashes
Our years a passing hour :
But Thou canst use our weakness
To magnify Thy power.

From ease and plenty save us ;
From pride of place absolve ;
Purge us of low desire ;
Lift us to high resolve ;
Take us ,and make us holy ;
Teach us Thy will and way .
Speak ,and behold !we answer ;
Command , and we obey !

Look Beyond

Look beyond your sufferings
Look beyond your fear
Look beyond your adversity
And find the Lord so near
Look beyond the problem
Look beyond the now
Look beyond the turmoil|
And before Him humbly bow
For, inlooking beyond and bowing,
You will find your normal sight...
Takes on spiritual vision
In God's sustaining light.

The Message of the Cross

The Message of the Cross
In the Cross of Christ I see ,
All the love of God to me ;
He it was who loved and gave ,
Guilty , sinful men to save .

In the Cross of Christ I know
Something of my saviour’s woe
I may surely read there in ,
All the sinfulness of sin .

In the Cross of Christ I learn
Righteous judgment to discern;
See the substitute for me
Cursed and smitten on the Tree .

There I see my Surety die
For a sinner such as I ,
There my broken heart can trace
All the riches of his grace .

At the Cross my soul finds peace ,
From its burden full release ;
There I may be reconciled ,
And confessed by God His child .

When The Mists Have Rolled Away

When The Mists Have Rolled Away

When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills ,
And the sunlight falls in gladness
On the river and the rills ,
We recall our Father’s promise
In the rainbow of the spray;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have rolled away .

We shall come with joy and gladness ,
We shall gather round the throne ;
Face to face with those that love us ;
We shall know as we are known:
And the song of our redemption
Shall resound through endless day
When the shadows have departed ,
And the mists have rolled away .
