Lacking Peace ~

Is there a piece,
of your peace missing
are you hanging onto
anxious, nervous living?
Well perfect love,
will cast out all fear
so when full of dread
just draw Jesus near.
Is there a chunk,
of your serenity absent
is your sense of calm
but a fragment?
Well fix your thoughts,
on the things above
and you will be filled
with His perfect love.
Is there a piece,
of your peace lacking
well, give to God all that is . . .
to you nerve-wracking!
~~~~~~~~
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment.
He that feareth is not made
perfect in love.
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.

God Is Working ~

I know God is working,
I can feel His hand . . .
I know it’s in His strength
I am still able to stand.
I can sense His presence,
I know He is near
I can perceive there’s not
anything for me to fear.
I know God is around,
I realize His intention
I know He is wanting
my humble attention.
I can hear Him saying,
this is under My control
so trust it to Me . . .
with all your heart and soul.
I know God is working,
though Him I cannot see
He’s behind the scene . . .
doing something new in me!
~~~~~~~~
Humble yourselves
therefore under the
mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt
you in due time:
On the left hand, where he doth work,
but I cannot behold him:
he hideth himself on the right hand,
that I cannot see him:

Keep Us Close Lord ~

Lord, keep us close to You,
each and every day . . .
may it be the first thing
we ask as we pray.
Remind us of Your hope,
how it will not pass away
build up our confidence
to help us not to stray.
Fill us with Your peace,
quiet our troubles inside
take away the barriers
so with You we may abide.
Whisper in our ears,
how much for us You care
tell us a over and over
You will always be there.
Lord, keep our hearts,
each and every day . . .
so on the right path
by Your side we’ll stay!

decline to her ways,
go not astray in her paths.”

Why Not Me ~

Some people ask God why me,
I ask Him me, why not . . .
for when I start to doubt Him
it leaves me feeling fraught.
So instead of worrying,
about what God is doing . . .
I find trusting in Him
keeps my faith renewing.
Some people ask God why,
I ask Him what for . . .
for I know good things
He has for me in store.
So rather then fretting,
over things I can’t control
I ask Him to release peace
into my heart and soul.
Some people ask God why me,
I ask Him why not me . . .
for I know He is working
in places I cannot see!
~~~~~~~~
For which cause we faint not;
but though our outward
man perish, yet the inward man
is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal
weight of glory;
While we look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not seen
are eternal.

Do Not Grow Weary ~

Do not grow weary,
of the good things you do
for God will provide
plenty of energy for you.
He’ll give you endurance,
all you need to do is ask
and He’ll give the stamina
to complete the task.
Whatever you are doing,
do it for God eagerly
and He’ll give you the zest
to serve Him whole heartily.
He’ll give you His strength,
to do the things you must
for the harvest is His . . .
all you have to do is trust.
Whatever you are doing,
never give up or quit . . .
for God will provide you with
the nerve and grit!
~~~~~~~~
And let us not be weary
in well doing: for in due
season we shall reap,
if we faint not.
And whatsoever ye do,
do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye
shall receive the reward of
the inheritance: for ye serve
the Lord Christ.
