Before The Clock Strikes Twelve ~
Lord, before the night is over,
before the clock strikes twelve
before this year is gone
and needing to be shelved.
I pray for Your guidance,
into the new year ahead
so I may be assured
through it I’ll be Spirit lead.
Lord, as I put an end,
to the chapters of this year
I just want to thank You
for staying close and near.
So, I pray as the pages,
of another year unfold
You will continue to keep me
in Your everlasting hold.

Psalm 25:4-5
“Shew me thy ways, O Lord;
teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth,
and teach me: for thou
art the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day.”

Jesus Is The Only One ~
Jesus Your light is,
the only One that can
break through the stone
in the heart of man.
For it can shatter,
the cold and icy frost
and bring the ungodly
to the foot of the cross.
Jesus Your light bursts.
the darkness right apart
taking down the barriers
inside of man’s heart.
For it can obliterate,
the evil and corruption
saving the heart of man
from eternal destruction.
Jesus You alone are . . .
the only One who can
breach into the darkness
of the heart of man!
~~~~~~~~
John 8:12
“Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have the
light of life.”
“And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.”

A Quiet Place ~
Thank You Lord,
for giving me
a place to go
when I’m weary.
A quiet spot,
for my mind
and Your peace
to come in line.
Thank You Lord,
for meeting me
when to You
I run and flee.
A hidden retreat,
for my heart
so more grace
You can impart.
Thank You Lord,
for being there
when I bring You
my daily care!

is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth

May The Lord Keep You ~
May the Lord keep you,
safely in His care

May You Be At Peace ~
May you be at peace,
all times, in every way
may you take heart knowing
God sends new mercies each day.
May you be anxious for naught,
nor about one single thing
may you feel the calming
only a Savior can bring.
May your mind be fixed,
on a God worth trusting
may you find your tranquility
in things everlasting.
May you lie down and sleep,
with dreams of green pastures
may you find peace
as your heart Jesus captures!
~~~~~~~~~
“Now the Lord of peace himself
give you peace always by all means.
The Lord be with you all.
“The Lord lift up his
countenance upon thee,
and give thee peace.
