Within His Hands

Within His Hands
When ever I grow weary ,
And miles seem much too long ,
And troubles think I am the one
To whom they all belong .
When things don’t always work out ,
According to my plan ,
It’s hard to drag my cross along ,
When I can barely stand .

And yet it’s times like these that test
The metal of the soul ,
How common place the daffodil ,
If everything were gold .

We would have naught to hope for ,
If skies were always blue ,
And it is true the sweetest smile
Must hide a tear or two .

And so in spike of everything
I know I’m not alone ,
God never will forget me ,
Through all the world be gone ,
With age there comes a wisdom ,
Youth never understands ,
When each of us can see ourselves ,
…. Carved in the Savior’s Hands .
God Bless ,

From A Distance

From A Distance
================

From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight

From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man

From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed

From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common land
Playing songs of hope
Playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man

God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance

From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for

From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hope
It's the love of love
It's the heart of every man (every man)
It's the hope of hope
It's the love of love
This is the song of every man

And God is watching us
God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance
Oh, God is watching us
God is watching
God is watching us from a distance

The Great Judge Sees All

The Great Judge Sees All
O let us know that when we see a fallen neighbor
And help him up when he needs a helping hand
That somewhere above there sits a Judge
Who , Supreme in all the earth , looks down
And sees when we have helped our fellow man .

Jesus told us of one who fell among the thieves ,
Who was beaten , and was robbed , and stripped of clothes ;
Some heard his cry but passed him by – Scribes and Pharisees:
Then came the Good Samaritan with compassion’s cup –
And Jesus praised the man who helped his brother up .


Oh , when you see your neighbor fall ,
Help him up , calm his fear
Brush away the dirt from suit and shirt ,
and send him on his way with friendly cheer .
Be a thoughtful ,helpful friend ;
It pays a bigger dividend
And in Christ your reward will never end .

BRAD IS IN ROOM 4302 IN GREENVILLE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL...HIS HEART FUNCTION IS 20%...AND HE HAS FLUID AROUND HIS HEART AND IN HIS LUNGS...THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS...ALSO AS I TOLD YOU GUYS HE HAS CANCER IN BOTH HIS LUNGS...HE CALLS ME REGULARLY ASKING ME TO POST FOR PRAYERS AND I DO IT GLADLY....WE HAVE A WONDERFUL CARING GOD AND HE IS IN THE BUSINESS OF ANSWERING PRAYERS ACCORDING TO HIS WILL...

These Be My Offerings

These be my Offerings
These be my offering today :
A smile to greet folk on my way ,
A hand to clasp a hand whose need
God has made plain ,a golden seed
Of Truth that may rich harvest bring
To one who may be sorrowing ,
And strength to lift another’s load
Should he father on the road .

These be my offering today :
Prayer to be my steadfast stay ,
Love that may in Christ’s good stead
Sweeten another’s daily bread ,
Hope , that may with kindly cheer
Lift some heart oppressed by fear ,
And faith whose mighty staff and rod
Are strength by hand of God ,
These be my offering . Though small ,
May His own kindness bless them all .
