Let Them . . .

Let them see the tears,
the pain in these eyes
let them hear Your Word
my broken heart cries.

Let them ridicule me,
call me every name
even if they laugh at me
I won’t feel any shame.

Let them know the hurt,
the loss for them I feel
I want them to understand
Your love for them is real.

Let them run after me,
pursue me to the end
they can’t take You from me
for You’re my forever friend.

Let them hear me praise You,
so they can see You’re ever near
let them see how You rejoice
when from them ~ I don’t fear!

I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?”

My Song of Trust ~

There is a song,
rising up in me
it’s full of joy
happiness and glee.

It’s melody,
is one that I hum
and on my heart stings
I can feel it strum.

My two hands,
can’t seem to stay still
they rise and clap
with the gladness I feel.

My arms lift up,
as I feel God’s power flow
and in my soul
I sense His Spirit’s glow.

My song is Jesus,
and every day I sing
my praises to Him
for the hope, He brings.

So, rise up with me,
let all your troubles go
sing my song of trust
and His joy you will know!

Isaiah 55:12
King James Version

“For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth
with peace: the mountains and the hills shall
break forth before you into singing, and all
the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”

In Everything Give Thanks ~

In everything give thanks,
to God our Father up in Heaven
in Jesus name give praise
for all that we’ve been given.

In everything give thanks,
for the good things we own
for the temporal needs He meets
for each gift from His throne.

In everything give thanks,
for our spiritual blessings
for the Life, the Truth, the Way
for forgiveness in confessing.

In everything  give thanks,
for the mercy God has given
for grace, election, redemption
for the adoption of the forgiven.

In everything  give thanks,
for the adversities of  this life
for peace, joy and comfort
for renewal from daily strife.

In everything  give thanks,
for this is God’s will for you
in Jesus name give praise
and His light will shine through!
