to all who willingly heed.
It is You that I love,

Your compassion is given
for eager heart’s to find.
Lord, it is in You I trust,
You are my sun and shield
tis why my heart and soul
to You I willingly yield!

To the brave and the bold,
the heroic and the courageous
I pray each day you will stay
on the road of the righteous.
I pray you will always be,
by the Holy Spirit led
and on the Word of God
your soul is continually fed.
To the daring and fearless,
the valiant and the strong
I pray the Lord will lead you
all of your life long.
I pray you will be protected,
under the shadow of His wings
I pray you will rise above
all that to you life brings.
To the brave and heroic,
the strong and the fearless
I pray you will always know
the power of God’s goodness!
~~~~~~~~
Joshua 1:9
Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong
and of a good courage;
be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed:
for the Lord thy God is
with thee whithersoever
thou goest.

Oh, Lord when I mediate,
on Your tender mercy . . .
my heart becomes for You
more hungry and thirsty.
I want to drink in,
all of Your compassion . . .
I want to bottle up
each drop of Your passion.
Oh, Lord when I ponder,
on Your abundant grace . . .
the tears of joy can’t stop
running down my face.
I want to soak in,
all of Your loving goodness
I want to sop up . . .
each morsel of Your goodness.
Oh, Lord when I consider,
how much You are faithful
I can’t help but be to You
eternally grateful!
~~~~~
Psalm 100:4-5
“Enter into his gates
with thanksgiving,
and into his courts
with praise:
be thankful unto him,
and bless his name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth
to all generations.

On this Thanksgiving Day,
I am so thankful for . . .
the Bread of Life
who opened to me the door.
And now today I sup,
at the table of His kindness
my soul He nourishes
as I feast upon His goodness.
A heaven sent like manna,
full of God’s mercy and favor
is the love and grace
of Jesus Christ my Savior.
My hunger pangs no more,
my thirst He quenches. . .
now that the Holy Spirit
my heart entrenches.
On this Thanksgiving Day,
I feast on the Bread of Life
who fills me with the peace
of a blissful afterlife!
~~~~~~~~
John 6:35
And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me
shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me
shall never thirst.
Psalm 107:9
For he satisfieth
the longing soul,
and filleth
the hungry soul
with goodness.

for God’s goodness
so blessed to know
His loving kindness.
Grateful and glad,
He is always forgiving
as with Him I travel
in the land of the living.
I am so thankful,
for God’s mercy and grace
so grateful He gives me
strength for the race.
Confident and sure,
I’ve nothing to fear
for God goes with me
and is always near.
I am so thankful,
for God’s goodness
I am so grateful
for His faithfulness!

A thorn in the flesh,
one only I can see . . .
an affliction running
throughout all of me.
A constant reminder,
of my own weakness
a steady remembrance
of God’s goodness.
A thorn in the flesh,
making me stronger
pulling me to Jesus
even more closer.
A constant reminder,
of His great power
a changeless recalling
He’s with me every hour.
A thorn in the flesh,
causing me to seek . . .
the strength of Jesus
when I’m too weak!
~~~~~
2 Corinthians 12:7
And lest I should be exalted
above measure through the
abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn
in the flesh, the messenger of
Satan to buffet me, lest I should
be exalted above measure.

Some people say,
God is so far away . . .
some think He doesn’t
hear them when they pray.
Some people believe,
God is always present
some think He listens
to their every lament.
Some people rely,
only on their feelings
some think God’s not fair
with them in His dealings.
Some people depend,
on their faith and trust
some think God’s always
good, fair and just.
Some people say,
Jesus is so distant
some know He is . . .
always consistent!

Psalm 10:1
Why standest thou afar off,
O Lord? why hidest thou thyself

Psalm 46:1

a very present help in trouble.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
and to day, and for ever.

I’ve tasted the goodness,
from God’s banquet table
I’ve feasted on His Word
and now it’s a daily staple.
I’ve supped on the truth,
with my Lord and Savior
and now His Way of Life
I’ve come to truly savor.
I’ve been to the buffet,
of God’s benevolence
and now I understand
the meaning of excellence.
I’ve had my hunger satisfied,
by my faith supplier
and now I know just who is
my daily bread Provider.
I’m blessed beyond measure,
for I’m full of God’s fullness
now that I have feasted . . .
upon all of His goodness!

When you’re discouraged,
feeling down in the dumps
you need to give yourself
in Jesus a joy jump.
For He can bring you out,
of that pit you are in . . .
once you start to focus
on the Goodness of Him.
When you’re disenchanted,
with the world around you
you need to give yourself
a more heavenly view.
For God has a mansion,
filled with numerous rooms
where tears, sorrows and death
no longer lurks or looms.
When you’re feeling sad,
discouraged and down
just think about Jesus . . .
and winning Life’s Crown!
~~~~~~~~
James 1:12
Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation:
for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised
to them that love him.

Father, when I consider,
the good pleasure of Your will
it causes me to pause . . .
to be quiet and be still.
For out of Your goodness,
You sent Your beloved son
to offer redemption
to each and everyone.
Jesus, when I consider,
the richness of Your grace
it causes me to reflect
so Your life I can embrace.
For You came to fulfill,
Your Father’s adoption plan
gave up Your very own life
for all the children of man.
Father when I consider,
the depth of Your good pleasure
I see how much You love us all
without limits or measure!

I have had a taste of God,
and all of His goodness
I have sipped from His cup
of truth and righteousness.
It left me with no appetite,
for the world or its ways
it has given me hope . . .
for peaceful, joyful days.
I have had a taste of God,
His kindness I now savor
for I have found in Him
my Lord and my Savior.
It left me with no craving,
for the world and its lust
it has given me the faith . . .
to put in Him my trust.
I have had a taste of God,
now my thirst is fully satisfied
my hunger pains are no more
once my heart, Jesus occupied!
~~~~~~~~

in the days ahead.
May His goodness,

may His arms wrap you
in His forever love.

May His face shine down,
with rays of hope on you
may His gracious mercy
your heart and mind renew.
May the Lord bless you,
bring to you His peace
as all your cares . . .
onto Him you release!

his countenance upon thee,
