My Secret Stairway

My Secret Stairway
I have a secret stairway
That means so much to me ,
For always at the head of it
Jesus waits for me .

No matter what the day brings ,
I know that He will share
My burdens or my blessings ,
For He is always there

“Tis wonderful , this stairway ,
Refreshing as dew ,
For when I’d be discouraged
My spirit He renews .

This stairway can belong to you,
Just as it does to me
Make room for it within your heart
And then His face you’ll see .

Child of God

Child of God
Dear child of God ,
Be still and know
He walks with you
Where’er you go .

Dear child of God ,
You need not fear;
His power to help
Is always near .

Dear child of God ,
Know all is well ,
Since in His love
You safely dwell .

Dear child of God ,
Trust Him today ;
If dark the path
He lights the way .

Dear child of God ,
From worry cease ;
He is right here ,
Rest now in peace .

If I Had Prayed

If I Had Prayed
Perhaps the day would not have seemed so long ,
The skies would not have seemed so gray ,
If on my knees in humble prayer
I had begun the day .
Perhaps the fight would not have seem so hard-
Prepared , I might have faced the fray
If I had been alone with Him ,
Upon my knees , to pray

Perhaps I might have cheered a broken heart ,
Or helped a wander on the way ,
If I had asked to be a light
To some dark soul today .
I would remember just the pleasant things .
The harsh words that I meant to say
I would forget , if I prayed
When I began the day.

I think I could have met life’s harder trails
With-hopeful heart and cheerful smile
If I had spoken with my Lord
Just for a little while .
And if I pray , I find that all goes well,
All care at His dear feet is laid :
My heart is glad - the load is light
Because I first have prayed ,

The House Inside

The House Inside
I have a house inside of me ;
A house that people never see ;
It has a door through which none pass ,
And windows ,but they’re not of glass .

“Where do you live ! asks folks I meet ,
And then I say,”On such a street;”
But still I know what’s really me ,
Lives in a house folks never see .

Sometimes I like to go inside ,
And hide and hide and hide and hide ,
And “doctor up “ wounded pride
When I’ve been treated rough” outside .

And sometimes , when I’ve been to blame
I go indoors and blush for shame ;
And get my mind in better frame ,
And get my tongue and temper tame .

I meet my heavenly Father there ;
For He stoops down to hear my prayer
To smooth my brow and cure my care
And make me brave to do and dare .

Then , after I have been made strong ,
And have things right that were all wrong ,
I come outside , where I belong .
To sing a new and happy song .
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
When the morning light you see ,
Don’t forget to kneel and pray ;
Ask the Lord to walk with thee ,
Every moment of the day .

The Right Words

The Right Words
================

Lord, give me the right words to say
To broken hearts that come my way
To those who have been hurt before
That, I not hurt them any more

To those whose hearts have hardened up
To those who won't hold out their cup
That, Lord, You long to overflow
With love and mercy. Lord, let me know

That I might have the words to say
That I might plant a seed today
That glory would be given to You
Through all I say and all I do

Lord, give me the right words to say
More hearts are breaking every day
They're out there crying in the night
I long to help them see the light

But, fragile are those souls and weak
So this is why Your words I seek
And pray Thee give me words to say
That I, not one soul, turn away.

I wanted to write a poem or a song that would stir your very soul . But it was already written it call Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
John Newton 1725 - 1807
