Do not be troubled
,
I hear You say,
Do not be troubled,
Simply follow My way.

Trouble you will find
Upon this earth,
Yet I have overcome all,
I have brought rebirth.



So take My hand,
Walk this path with Me;
Child, let Me show you
The Way to eternity.

Should storms arise,
Should clouds become black,
Should the winds howl,
Should you stumble off-track,



I am here, My child,
I am always beside you,
Do not be troubled,
I will show you what to do.

I will give you hope,
I will wrap you in My peace,
I will warm you with love,
All fears you will release.



So do not be troubled,
Look up at Me and smile;
Do not be troubled,
I am here all the while.

You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalms 16: 11




How I need you Lord
No one can do
the things that you do
No one cares
the way you do

No one takes the time
every minute of the day
To make sure, I'm taken
care of
When I call out in prayer

How I need you
my Heavenly Father
My worship... You
deserve
Till' my day is through

I'll worship you
The Holy one
Omnipotent one
The son of God

How I need you
My heart crys out
your name
I don't need fame
or Glory
The Glory belongs
to you

To the heavens I look,
to see your face
I feel your presence
with worship and praise

You're the only truth the world
can depend on
The only one to look to
with the rising of
the sun

How I need you Lord,
My needs always met
I give you all I have
until once again
the sunset comes
upon us

Then I'll rise with praise
on my lips
another day
I'll find my way
with you Lord

Adoration beats in my heart,
Praise sings in my soul,
Joy lightens my spirit,
And love makes me whole,

For You, my Jesus,
Are my life and my song;
For with You, my Jesus,
I forever belong.



Joyful are my days,
Peaceful every night,
Beautiful my moments,
Graced by Your light.

I find in Your presence
All that I need;
Your Living Water refreshes,
Your Word does feed.



Sing then I will
Of You, Lord and Love,
With my eyes ever fixed
On Heaven above.

You are my Everything,
You are all I see,
You are the One
I adore for all eternity.



You, my Jesus,
Are my life and my song,
With You, my Jesus,
I forever belong.

Yea, You are my joy,
Your love makes me whole,
So adoration beats in my heart,
Praise sings in my soul.

Crown You infinitely,
This is what I long to do;
Crown You infinitely,
For so much I love You.

Let my words of love
Be jewels upon Your head,
Heavenward to You
Let these words be led.

Let my adoration
Crown You as pure gold,
For You have loved me so
Since the days of old.

Let my songs rise
As incense to Your throne;
Surely I sing for You,
For my very life You own.

Let my ears hear only
The sweet lyrics of Your call;
Let all that I do
Crown You as King of all.

I worship You, Jesus,
Before Your throne of majesty;
I long to show You love,
Yes, love for all eternity.

Your love for me poured
In the blood drops You shed;
So let my words of love
Be jewels upon Your head.

Crown You infinitely,
Jesus, this is what I will do;
Crown You infinitely,
For so much I love You.

TAPESTRY of NATURE

The fog lifts gently,
Gray skies turn blue,
The sun streams radiantly,
A reflection of You.

Snow melts softly,
Revealing grass green,
A whisper of Heaven,
The Unseen in the seen.

For Nature reveals
Your ever perfect ways;
We see You, O Jesus,
In gray or bright days.

In the dark days,
We long for Your light;
We wait for the sun
In the deep of the night.

Wise is our Father,
His ways let us perceive;
In the tapestry of Nature
Wisdom He does weave.

In the birds singing,
In the wind blowing,
In the mountains standing,
In the fountains flowing,

In snow melting softly,
In fields vast and green,
We hear whispers of Heaven,
Unseen in the seen.

Yes, Lord, in Nature,
We see a reflection of You;
We marvel Your love,
All You are, all You do.

Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him
from the creation of the world
are clearly seen, being understood
by the things that are made,
even his eternal power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse.

DANCE WITH JOY


Snowflakes falling,
Countless before me,
Dancing in the winds,
Cloaking every tree,

Covering the fields,
Making the world white,
Surely it is a gift
To behold the wintry sight.

Only God Himself
Could create such a dance;
Countless snowflakes
Could not arise by chance.

With love and with beauty
He creates one and all;
Yes, God has ordained
Each snowflake to fall.

See with what love
He has sculpted each flake;
Behold the beauty
Of crystals He does make.

Surely if such love
He gives to flakes of snow,
Greater love to His children
The Lord does show.

Yes, let us praise Jesus,
Let us cloak ourselves in white,
Let us fix our eyes on Heaven,
For the Son is our Light.

And like snowflakes falling,
Countless for us to see,
Let us dance with joy
For all God made us to be.

Jeremiah 31:13
The young women will dance for joy,
and the men old and young
will join in the celebration.
I will turn their mourning into joy.
I will comfort them and
exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.

GARDEN OF DELIGHT


When I am down,
Or when I feel blue,
I go to my garden,
Where everything is fresh;
All so lovely and new..

Some perennials for shade,
And some for sunlight.
Give off such magnificent color,
Oh what pure delight..



The chirping of the birds,
Along with the buzzing of the bees.
Blend nature's harmony,
Into such sweet melodies..

Up above there are
White clouds and blue skies;
In the air I see the gentle flutter
Of colorful butterflies.



Rows of flowers
Roses and trees;
The wind upon my face
Like a warm summer breeze.

My garden is tranquil
With much joy and bliss;
The sweet whispers of softness
I never want to miss.



So to my garden I go
From day to day;
Seeing the beauty of God's love,
Melts all of my troubles away.

GOD'S MIRACLE

My eyes see the beauty
Of the ocean far and wide
The glow of the sunrise
Someone special by my side.

The vastness of the waters
Far as the eye can see
God's wounderous adoration
Seems to look back at me.



The rushing of the foamy surf
White caps peaking high
Waters softly flowing
On the golden sand near by.

This is one of many miracles
God's gift for us to keep
There are many more just like this
He would like for us to reap.



This beauty is not magic
An ordinary man put together
God's love made this possible
Ours to keep forever.

SWEET GRACE

Grace, sweet grace,
Flowing to me;
Grace, sweet grace,
Kiss of eternity.

From Your heart,
Grace ever flows,
Renewing our hearts,
Erasing our woes.



Your grace, O Jesus,
I am grateful to receive,
Grace You bestow
On all who believe.

Grant me the grace
To be more like You;
Shower me with grace
In all I say and do.



Allow Your sweet grace
To pave my pathway;
Permit Your grace
To shape each day.

Grace, sweet grace,
To me is a treasure;
Your grace, O Lord,
You give without measure.



Wherever You walk,
Lord, I will go;
For from Your heart
Sweet grace does flow.

Yes, Your sweet grace
Flows forever to me;
Grace, sweet grace,
The kiss of eternity.

HORIZON BRIGHT

Follow Me, My child,
Do you see the horizon bright?
Stay close to Me, precious one,
Walk now in My light.

I will hold your hand,
I will lead you all the way;
I will direct your steps
With the words I say.



Before your very eyes
A lovely path will unfold,
One I have planned for you
From the days of old.

Precious you are to Me,
I loved You before creation;
So follow Me, My child,
Join Me in celebration.



Eternal treasures await,
A place I prepare for you;
Let this truth uplift,
Let it inspire all you do.

Though you walk through
A dark and deathly valley,
Do not fear at all,
For you are close to Me.



Feel how I hold your hand
Every step of the way?
Surely I cling to you, child,
Every moment, every day.

How I rejoice to bless you,
To shine upon you with light;
So follow Me, My child,
To a horizon beautiful and bright.

were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare.
