Foreever My Friend

God will always be my friend

Forever My Friend

Forever My Friend

The rain stopped falling today.
All of the clouds seemed to have gone away.
The sun shone bright and clear.
The dew sparkled with glistening, radiant cheer.
Upon each flower, a smile and a touch of laughter appeared.
A song came singing amidst the wind so cool and calm,
with a deep sense of security in the air.


Why then, Lord, am I feeling such great despair, feeling overloaded with worldly cares?
Why then, Lord, are my eyes filled with much sorrow and tears?
My heart aches for comfort, my mind for peaceful refuge through the power of prayer.


Though I have perceived all the
beauty around me,
my spirit cries out loudly,
"Oh Lord, I am empty and bare."
Hoping to hear His sweet voice once again,
I plead in travail,
"Lord cleanse me from all of my sin,
And let Your glorious light enter in.
Remember me as I remember You,
for without You I have reached my end."


His sweet, forgiving love flows like a river.
My heart is reminded that He is my forever-lasting Friend.
The foundation which cannot be shaken,
now the renewal of my sleeping spirit,
which has been awaken,
knowing that in His love I can always,
yes always, depend.
For He is my forever Friend-Jesus.

Can We, Great God?

Can we, great God, thee comprehend Without the Spirit's aid? We know thy mind, almighty Friend, The deep things therein laid?   These finite minds, incased within A form of moulded clay, Know of themselves, o'ercome by sin, The Infinite's deep way?   As well might we expect to be By babes full understood, As these our carnal minds should see All thy whole being's good.   And thou didst look with pity, Lord, Upon our darkened sight, And gave to us thy precious Word, Full of the Spirit's light.   And by its aid the deepest things Are brought within our view, And we can touch the hidden springs Of knowledge, pure and true.  Jan Bagwell God Bless

God speak to me

The man whispered, "God, speak to me." And a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear. So the man yelled, "God, speak to me!" And the thunder rolled across the sky. But the man did not listen. The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you." And a star shone brightly. But the man did not notice. And the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle!" And a life was born. But the man did not know. So, the man cried out in despair. "Touch me God, and let me know that you are here!" Whereupon God reached down and touched the man. But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. MORAL: Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way you expect. Jan Bagwell God Bless !

God All in All

God is in summer flowers that rise, In birds that carol to the skies; But is he less in noxious weed, In poison root and deadly seed, In slimy things that creep and crawl, Since He is ever All in All?   God of self-sacrifice and prayer; God of the hearts that nobly dare; Of childhood's innocence and glee; Of love and truth and loyalty; But what of those who sin and fall,-- Accursed while God is All in All?   Love's lips are warm, life's wine is red And God is smiling overhead; But love proves false, the wine is spilled, The ecstasy and joy are stilled; We sit in shadow of the pall, Yet here, our God is All in All.   Oh, blessed words! Oh, thought divine! To cheer us when we would repine; To lift our hearts above earth's blight, To the eternal, fadeless Light. Earth has no ill that can appall The soul that owns God All in All.  Jan Bagwell  God Bless ! Please pray for Mary Carpenter Phillips and Pastor David Bagwell

My Lord, My Companion

As I stand on the world’s highest mountains,
I know You are with me
As I walk in the world’s deepest valleys,
I know You are there
As I sail on the world’s deepest seas,
I know You are by my side
As I view the endless blue waters,
I am reminded of Your eternal love
As I walk in the world’s thickets forests,
I know You are by my side
As I cast my eyes on the blue endless skies,
I am reminded of Your infinite love
As I cross the world’s largest deserts,
I know You care for me
As I look at the landscapes,
I am glad for You created them all
As I travel the world’s greatest cities,
Your company keeps me whole
As I fly in the world’s biggest planes,
Your presence comforts me
As I take a walk in the countryside,
You keep me company
As I inhale the spring scented morning breeze,
I know You will always be there each day
As I cycle downtown with my hair flowing backwards,
I know You won't abandon me.
As I walk down the street my soul rejoices and
I am glad for You first loved me
