God, My Praise ~
God, my Praise,
My Hope, my Song
in my weakness
You make me strong.
Though I’m surrounded,
by earthly care
them onto Yourself
are willing to bear.
God, my Praise,
my Salvation, my Pardon
may to You my heart
never become harden.
Mercy You send me,
each day to renew
so I may worship
the goodness of You.
God, my Praise,
my Trust, my Confidence
thank You for blessing me
with Your providence!
~~~~~~~
Oh that men would praise the Lord
for his goodness, and for his
wonderful works to the children of men!

A Tranquility To Find~
There is a tranquility,
a calm to be found
when your every care
onto Jesus you unbound.
Then His peace will bind,
your heart and mind
and all your anxiety
will begin to unwind.
There is a tranquility,
a peace to receive
when your every worry
onto Jesus you relieve.
Then His calm will take,
control of your life
as you feel the easing
of your daily strife.
There is a tranquility,
a peace to discover
one that with Jesus . . .
will last now and forever!
~~~~~~
The Lord will give strength
unto his people; the Lord
will bless his people
with peace.

Anchored In Peace ~
Anchored in peace,
held down by hope
a future that helps us
everyday to cope.
A trust secure,
a hope resilient
a joy that keeps
our faith consistent.
Anchored in love,
bound up in grace
a destiny that helps us
to stay in the race.
A faith grounded,
a truth rooted
a rest empowering us
to remain devoted.
Anchored in peace,
in Jesus entrenched
the Cornerstone keeping
our thirst quenched!
~~~~~~~
Thou wilt keep him in
perfect peace,
whose mind is
stayed on thee:
because he
trusteth in thee.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord God, Behold,
I lay in Zion for a foundation
a stone, a tried stone,
a precious corner stone,
a sure foundation:
he that believeth
shall not make haste.

God, My Savior ~
God, my Savior,
my Lord, my King
grant me the peace
only You can bring.
Fill my soul with hope,

securely tethered.
Fill my mind with love,
joy and delight
so that I may keep You
always in my sight.
God, my Savior,
my Lord, my Song
keep my faith in You
til eternity strong!

And they said,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house.
And they spake unto him the word
of the Lord, and to all that
were in his house.

God Loves The Yielding Heart ~
God loves the little sparrows,
all the flowers in the fields
He loves a repentant heart
that to Him at last yields.
He loves the morning hour,
when the sun is on the rise
He loves a searching heart
that is seeking to be wise.
God loves the daily warmth,
the cool breeze in the air
He loves the burdened heart
giving to Him all its care.
God loves the evening time,
when the sun slowly sets
He loves when a hungry heart
appetites in Him are whet.
God loves the moon shinning,
the twinkling in the sky
He loves a prayerful heart
that holds a jubilant cry.
God loves His little sparrows,
His faithful lilies of the field
He loves whatever the time . . .
hearts to Him relent and yield!

“But yield yourselves unto God,
as those that are alive from the dead,
and your members as instruments
of righteousness unto God.”
