When All Hope is Gone ~
When all hope,
has gone out of you
when the sea ahead
turns a raging blue.
Hold on to Jesus,
let Him be your light
and the waves of depression
He will help you fight.
When all desire,
has gone out of you
when the storm you’re in
obscures your eternal view.
Hold on to Jesus,
let Him be your Rock
and the winds of adversity
He will begin to block.
When all hope and desire,
has gone out of you . . .
you’ll not be discouraged
if Jesus you hold onto!
~~~~~~
“And when neither sun nor stars
in many days appeared, and no
small tempest lay on us,
all hope that we should be saved
was then taken away.”

Peace in The Storm ~
Give me peace,
in this storm Lord
give me peace
as I know You can . . .
I need You to calm,
the raging going on
I need You to hold me
till the jolting is gone.
I need You to quiet,
the turbulence within
I need Your strength
to fight the whirlwind.
I need You to still,
the thunder in my soul
I need Your tranquility
to take in me control.
Give me peace,
in this storm Lord
give me peace
as only You can!
~~~~~~~~
“He maketh the storm
a calm,
so that the waves
thereof are still.”

Never Lose Sight ~
When getting ready,
to take on the battle
ask God for courage
so not to be rattled.
For God will give you,
His power and might
and on the victory
you’ll never lose sight.
Before you get attacked,
be ready to request
all the help you need
to win the contest.
For God will grant,
strength to your soul
and bring the attack
under His control!
~~~~~~~~~
“For the battle is not yours,
but God’s.”

Life is Tough ~
Life isn’t easy,
there are a lot of bumps
obstacles and obstructions
daily we must all jump.
Life isn’t a joy ride,
there’s too much suffering
heartache, pain and grief
that keeps on surfacing.
Life isn’t a circus,
there are no safety nets
just hoops we go through
from one day to the next.
Life isn’t a breeze,
storms, there are plenty
throwing us off course
regardless if we’re ready.
Life is hard and tough,
for every one of us . . .
but we who have peace
in God put our trust!
~~~~~~~~
“Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is
stayed on thee: because
he trusteth in thee.”

This is A Test ~
God’s sending me tests,
He’s giving me situations
He’s seeing if I’ll claim
His peace trough tribulations.
God’s giving me a chance,
to find new grace each day
He is seeing if my faith
will hold up along the way.
God’s working in me patience,
He wants to affirm my hope
He’s teaching me to trust Him
for the strength I need to cope.
God’s seeing if I will rejoice,
when things are askew
He’s looking to see His glory
in my life shinning through.
God keeps informing me,
Child, this is just a test . . .
so that I may experience
what is His perfect rest!
~~~~~~
And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience;
and experience, hope:”

Where Are You Lord ~
Where are You Lord,
have You forgotten me
are You so far away
that me, You can’t see?
Are You in hiding,
where then shall I find
Your peace to fill up
my soul, heart and mind?
Where are You Lord,
I have looked all around
but a glimpse of You
was nowhere to be found?
Have You nothing to say,
though I’ve so much to ask
are You under the weather
not up to the task?
Lord, where shall I go,
so that You I will see?
For, I need You to make
Your presence known to me!

” I opened to my beloved;
but my beloved
had withdrawn himself,
and was gone:
my soul failed when he spake:
I sought him, but I could
not find him; I called him,
but he gave me no answer.”
King James Version

Walking in The Light ~
When we walk in the light,
we will recognize sin
we will see the darkness
that still creeps within.
We will see the rebellion,
of our old wicked ways
we will smell the stench
of our own spiritual decay.
When we walk in the light,
we will see all the wrong
we will know to this world
we no longer belong.
We will see our greediness,
our lusts for former things
we’ll know not to fall again
into the traps they bring.
When we walk in the light,
from temptation we will flee
for the light shines brighter
then the darkness we see!
~~~~~~~~
“But if we walk in the light,
as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with
another, and the blood of
Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.”
King James Version

Deep Waters ~
No matter how deep
the waters get
I know that me . . .
God won’t forget.
If they be shallow,
or be they knee-high
God will not leave me
alone to get by.
No matter how deep,
my troubles may go
I know the way out
God promises to show.
If there be darkness,
or if there be light
God will lead me
be it day or night.
No matter how rough,
the waters may be
I know God will not . . .
ever forsake me!
~~~~~~~~
“When thou passest
through the waters,
I will be with thee;

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ What Can Man Do? ~
I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
