Our Help Is Here ~

Help comes to the lonely,
when we need comforting
Help comes to relieve the pain
when we are suffering.

Help comes with hope,
when there is dreariness
Help comes with rest
when there is weariness.

Help comes to bring courage,
when we are fearful
Help comes to console
when we are tearful.

Help comes with guidance,
when we need direction
Help comes with a shield
when we need protection.

Help is always with us,
to aid, advise and assist
our help is in Jesus . . .
when on His strength we enlist!

Unleashing God’s Power ~

When worry starts to flood,
like a windblown heavy rain
when you’re dispirited
by anxieties constant strain.

Turn to the Good News,
and as you begin to pray . . .
You will feel God releasing
His peace straight away.

When trouble begins to blow,
like a howling nor’easter
when you’re feeling downcast
in need of a warm comforter.

Turn at once to the Lord,
rush into His loving arms
knowing they’ll protect you
from everything that harms.

When grief overcomes,
like a crashing tidal wave
when you’re disheartened
drowning in a teary grave.

Turn to the Scriptures,
no matter what the hour
and with each tearful drop
let God, unleash His power!

The Path of Grief Unknown ~

I walk the path of grief,
in the valley of pain unknown
but Jesus is here with me . . .
so I don’t have to walk it alone.

The path has its ups and down,
the valley, its highs and lows
but Jesus is here with me . . .
in the midst of my sorrows.

The pathway of heartache,
is paved with dread and fear
but Jesus is here with me . . .
His grace is always near.

The days seem to creep along,
the nights are without end
but Jesus is here with me . . .
my Comforter, my Friend.

I walk the pathway of pain,
but I’m not walking it alone
for Jesus is here with me . . .
on the path, of grief unknown.

It’s All About Jesus ~

It’s not about the disease,
or the sickness in your soul
it’s about the Healer . . .
making your heart whole.

It’s not about the problem,
or the crisis you are in
it’s about the Deliverer . . .
forgivingyour every sin.

It’s not about the burden,
or the weight of the load
it’s about the Comforter . . .
helping you down the road.

It not about the worries,
or the fears in your head
it’s about the Lord . . .
and being Holy Spirit led.

It’s not about the troubles,
or the difficulties that impede
it’s about the Savior . . .
knowing your every need.

It’s not about the storm,
or the seas that are raging
it’s about the Christ . . .
who knows you need saving.

It’s not about the trials,
or the struggles in this life
it’s all about Jesus . . .
who came to bear your strife!
