Be Still . . .

Be still, my soul, be at peace,
let not thy worries overcome.
Be still, and know He is your God,
and will . . . your heart strings . . . strum.

Be still, my heart, and let go,
let surrender be thy sweet release.
Be still, and know God's saving power,
to eternity, can never fail or cease.

Be still, my mind, and give Him thy all,
let thy weakness take you to your knees. 
Be still, and know of God's sufficiency,
where His glory, surpasses all thy needs.

Be still, my spirit, admit thy defeat,
let thyself dwell on things from above. 
Be still, and know He is in control,
and be strengthen, by and in His love.

Be still, my soul, be at peace,
let Him complete in thee His perfect will.
Be still, and know He is your God,
and will . . . your heart strings . . . still.

Psalm 46:10

Jesus, A True Friend

Jesus gives great peace 
in a time of war
always there to help 
the needy soul and poor
Jesus will never fail you 
when you need His guiding hand
He'll pick you up and carry you 
till you reach the promised land

Jesus never fails, His love will carry you
He is ever faithful and a friend so true

Jesus will always love
and never forsake you
Even when the sea is stormy,
He'll see you through
Jesus has all power 
to give the victory
He already conquered the enemy 
on the cross of Calvary

Jesus never fails, His love will carry you 
He is ever faithful and a friend so true

Jesus is never bitter
His love is true and strong
You can always count on him
to never do you wrong
Jesus' love is always constant 
and steady to the end
In Him you could never find
A more truer friend

He's Still There

When troubles come our way,
And sorrows seem to stay,
And our blessings seem so bare,
Our God reigns! He's still there!

When storms howl all night,
And nothing turns out right,
And it seems that life's not fair,
Our God reigns! He's still there!

When the storm clouds roll away,
And we see the light of day,
Yes, it seems that He doth care.
Our God reigns! He's still there!

When we're on the mountain top,
It seems the blessings do not stop,
And our blessings we want to share,
Our God reigns! He's still there!

Our God is there all the time,
If we're rich or have not a dime,
In good health or in great despair,
Our God reigns! He's still there!

Be Not Vengeful

Do not be vengeful,
don’t try to get even
do not hold a grudge
for any kind of reason.

Do not be spiteful,
don’t be merciless
do not be cruel
or become heartless.

Do not be resentful,
don’t be envious
don’t be embroiled
in others pettiness.

Do not be hateful,
don’t be critical
do not be unforgiving
nor become cynical.

Do not be vengeful
don’t hold a grudge
for God one day . . .
every thought will judge!

Leviticus 19:18

“Thou shalt not avenge,
nor bear any grudge
against the children
of thy people,
but thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself: I am the Lord.”
