One-By-One ~

When my cares,
are too much to bear
I give Jesus each one
in a separate prayer.

I weep, I cry,
I sob, I moan
as I cast them . . .
onto the throne.

I sit, I wait,
I kneel, I pace
as I request
more of His grace.

I sing, I praise,
I smile, I grin
as humbly I shed . . .
them right onto Him.

When from my cares,
I want to be set free
I let Jesus take them . . .
one-by-one from me!

1 Peter 5:6-7

Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:

Casting all your care upon him;
for he careth for you.

Soaking Up God’s Peace ~

Sometimes ~ I just want to stand,
on top of the highest hill
raise my hands to the Lord
tell Him how I really feel.

I want to shout out my love,
hear His echo back at me
I want to close my eyes tight
until His glory is all I see.

Sometimes ~ I want to be alone,
on the tallest mountain top
sing my praise to the Lord
never wishing for them to stop.

I want to cry my eyes out,
have Him wipe away my tears
I want to give Him any doubt
so He can take away my fears.

Sometimes ~ I just want to stand,
and soak up all His peace . . .
I want to raise my hands upward
until I feel His sweet release!

Casting all your care upon him;

The Thrill Of Trusting ~

Oh, the thrill of trusting God,
to meet our every need
to no longer live in fear
or follow where it may lead.

Oh, how great is the faith,
of the one who doesn’t doubt
who stands on the promise
God will figure all things out.

Oh, how great is His delight,
when we give to Him our strife
to place in our Master’s hand
complete control of our life.

Oh, how wonderful is the way,
which is paved in sound belief
Jesus is the soul’s provider
for everlasting peace and relief.

Oh, the thrill of trusting God,
in everything by prayer
to give to Him our every need
casting onto Him our daily care!

mighty hand of God, that He may exalt
you in due time, casting all your care
upon Him, for He cares for you.”
