We All Need A Friend ~

We all need a friend,
to encourage us
we all need someone
who in God truly trusts.

We all need a partner,
with whom we can pray
someone who will help us
stay on the narrow way.

We all need a mentor,
in whom we can share
someone who understands
the weight of our care.

We all need a confidant,
to help our faith grow
someone who believes
God’s will we can know.

We all need a friend,
a faithful supporter
we all need God’s Spirit
to be our shock absorber!

The Comforter of My Soul ~

The Comforter of my soul,
never gets tired of my cares
He never gets fatigued by
my burdens that He bears.

He never turns me away,
when I go to Him for relief
the Comforter of my soul
understands all my grief.

The Comforter of my soul,
always makes things better
taking on my heavy load
gives His heart pleasure.

He makes things easier,
when all else is difficult
the Comforter of my soul
is always there to consult.

The Comforter of my soul,
takes on my every care
tis why I give to Him . . .
my every need to bear!

Abiding In Jesus ~

When I abide in Christ,
I’ve unbelievable peace
on Him, all my burdens
are so easy to release.

When I remain in Him,
I’ve strength for the day
I know I can conquer
whatever comes my way.

When I rest in Jesus,
His power so inspires . . .
me to do all I know
the new man requires.

When I wait on the Lord,
and walk in His light
my hope takes on wings
like an eagle in flight.

When I continue in Him,
my faith is renewed
the trust I have in Jesus
begins to gush and exude.

When I abide in Christ,
when in my life, I let Him be
there’s a calming serenity
that washes all over me!

Holy Spirit Come Comfort Me ~

Holy Spirit,
come comfort me
give me faith
in what I can’t see.

Be my truth,
I need Your sight
Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit,

Your peace I’ll find.

Be my shield,
show me the way
Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit,
teach me to trust
help me to see
You’re always just.

Reveal to me,
what is Your plan
govern me with
Your mighty hand.

Holy Spirit,
come comfort me
let me forever . . .
abide with Thee!

My Comfort Rests ~

Holy Spirit, my comfort rests,
upon the bosom of Thy breast
You soothe me when I’m in need
I am calm, when to You I heed.

I call out to Thee, upon my bed,
thoughts of peace fill my head
into Thy hands my soul now rests
in Your stillness, I feel blessed.

Oh, my Comforter my fears relieve,
so Thy tranquility, I may receive
come yet closer to me as I pray
show me the truth, light and way.

Holy Spirit, my comfort rests,
You’ll not hear, my protests . . .
abide with me forever more
be my anchor, my soul’s moor!

My Comforter ~

I have me a companion,
a Friend that is constant
someone who will come
to my aid in an instant.

Someone I can lean on,
when I need to be soothed
someone I can trust
when I need the truth.

Someone who will cry,
right along with me
someone who understands
my deepest, soulful need.

Someone who is strong,
whenever I am weak
someone who brings joy
whenever I feel bleak.

Jesus gave to me,
His Spirit as my Helper
and I always run to Him
whenever I need shelter!
