Take Time to be Kind

Take Time to Be Kind
Kindness is a virtue
given by the Lord .
It pays dividends in happiness ,
and joy is its reward ,
For if you practice kindness
in all you say and do ,
The Lord will wrap His kindness
all around your heart and you ,
And wrapped within His kindness
You are sheltered and secure ,
And under His direction
Your way is safe and sure .

Kindness
So put away all malice and guile and insincerity and envy and all slander . Like newborn babes , long for the pure spiritual milk , that by it you may grow up to salvation ; for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord .
1 Peter 2:1-3

Thank You , God , for Everything

Thank You , God , for Everything

Thank You God , for everything ,
the big things and small ,
For every good gift comes from God ,
the giver of them all .
And all too often we accept
without any thanks or praise
The gifts God sends as blessing
each day in many way .
The things we take for granted
but don’t mention when we pray ,
Then , thank You for the miracles
we are much too blind to see ,
And give us new awareness
of our many gifts from Thee ,
And help us to remember
that the key to life and living
Is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks
and every day thanksgiving

Into all our lives ,in many simple , familiar , homely ways ,
God infuses this element of joy from the surprises of life ,
which unexpectedly brighten our days , and fill our eyes
with light .

The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer

Nobody knows the power of prayer ,
But somebody must be listening there
With a friendly ear for the heart that calls
Someone Who knows when a sparrow falls

Miracles lie in the power of prayer ,
Faith that can banish the soul’s despair !
Hope that can shine like a holy light
And brighten the spirit’s darkest night !

When earthly help is of avail
Just lift your eyes – the answer is there .
For nobody knows the power of prayer!

Springtime in Your Heart

Springtime in Your Heart
Keep Springtime in your heart
With its healing beams of gold
Let the fire Autumn
Warm you through the Winter’s cold .

All through the Wintry winds that blow ,
When birds away have flown ,
Picture rays of sunshine
Through Summers you have known .

Feel the warmth of Springtime ,
Let Nature’s lovely sounds
Be heard again in spirit
Through all of Winter’s rounds .

And when it’s cold and dark
And dreary seems the day ,
Bask in the warmth of God’s great love
That can never pass away .

Keep Springtime in your heart
Though it may seem long ago ,
Through falling snow and icy winds
Its warmth in you will glow .

Spring’s lovely flowers , its azure sky ,
Kept fast in your minds ,
Will show God’s love , keep hope alive
‘Til Winter passes by

God is seeking for Men

God is Seeking for Men
God is seeking for men in this world’s last hour ,
For men who can love-and anointed with power
Will stand in the gap ,and make up the hedge
That many in darkness of sin may be led
To Christ the Redeemer who only can save
From the power of evil , despair and the grave .

God is seeking for men who can sorrow and feel
For the souls He created , whom no one can heal :
The poor , broken bodies , the sin-darkened souls
With none to deliver and none to make whole ;
The dear little children who cry in the night ,
Who long for a Saviour to bring the Light .

God called for a weapon to punish the lands
To put to the sword the work of His hands ,
And bring revelation on sin through His Word ,
That the nations far off may yet know the Lord .
But though they were punished by war’s cruel hate .
So soon they forgot their most terrible fate .

And every man wanders his own selfish way
Enjoying his pleasure and failing to pray
For the power of the Spirit that makes feeble man
An instrument , mighty to save , in the land .
O , where are the mighty , the holy and just ,
To whom God can proffer such high , noble trust ?

Where , O where are the few to stand in the hedge
To fill up the gap by a resolute pledge ,
To carry the message of power to the weak ,
The hungry ,the sick ,the forlorn and the meek ?
My brother , my sister , won’t you be the one
To tell the glad tiding of God’s only Son ?

Think not of tomorrow and what you may lose –
A throne and a crown is for those who will choose
To follow the Lamb anywhere He may go :
Rescuing souls out of darkness and woe ;
Leading the lost in God’s infinite plan –
Won’t you tell Him today ,”Lord , I’ll be that man.”
