When I’m Down ~

Lord, when I am down,
feeling sad and blue
I look up to the heavens
for a glimpse of You.

You are the light,
that brightens my way
You are the radiance
shinning on my day.

You bring me comfort,
in the middle of night
Your blazing love
is my souls saving light.

You give me hope,
when none is around
Your kind, gentle touch
makes my heart rebound.

Lord, when I am down,
feeling sad and blue.
I look up to the heavens
and sing my praises unto You!

Psalm 30:12
King James Version

“To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee,
and not be silent. O Lord my God,
I will give thanks unto thee for ever.”

Beyond ~

Beyond the pain we have suffered,
past the grief that we have felt
farther than the eye can see
the land of Rest will forever be.

Beyond the troubles we have faced,
past the worries we have had
farther than the eye can see
the land of Hope will forever be.

Beyond the sadness we have felt,
past the despair we have known
farther than the eye can see
the land of Joy will forever be.

Beyond the burdens we have carried,
past the trials we have met
farther than the eye can see
the land of Love will forever be.

Beyond this very moment,
past this one single day . . .
farther than the eye can see
the land of Peace will forever be.

Revelation 21:4
King James Version

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
