I am my brother’s keeper,
I help him to understand
I encourage him to put
his life into God’s hand.
I am my sister’s keeper,
I help her to see the light
I encourage her to grow
to keep Jesus in her sight.
I am my mother’s keeper,
in her old age I help her out
I hold her hand when lonely
to calm her fears and doubt.
I am my father’s keeper,
I lift to God, his very soul
I pray each day and night
Jesus will make him whole.
I am my children’s keeper,
I listen to their concerns
I pray for God to give them
the wisdom to discern.
I am my neighbor’s keeper,
I pray for their daily needs
I tell them to always heed
to follow where God leads.
The Lord is my keeper,
He is with me every day
He watches over me . . .
as I travel the narrow way!
~~~~~~~~~
Genesis 4:9
“And the Lord said unto Cain,
Where is Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not:
Am I my brother’s keeper?”
1 John 2:10
He that loveth his brother
abideth in the light, and
there is none occasion
of stumbling in him.

Speak to me Lord Jesus,
make Yourself known
so that Your plans
can to me be shown.
Tell me what to do,
prepare for me the way
I promise I will listen
to what You have to say.
Speak to me Lord Jesus,
while I am staying still
let me know what is
for me Your perfect will.
Show me the road,
You’d have me to take
I promise I’ll follow it
for Your name’s sake.
Speak to me Lord Jesus,
I am ready to hear . . .
Your Word’s of hope
for me loud and clear!

The Lord leads me,
through the valleys and dells
He takes me to places
where righteousness dwells.
It is there where I find,
His guiding hand
showing me just where
my steps should land.
The Lord takes me,
up the mountains and hills
He takes me to places
for me to discover His will.
It’s there where I observe,
the path planned for me
as He directs my feet . . .
to where they need to be.
The Lord takes me,
to places high and low
to make it clear to me
the way I should go!
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 107: 7
And he led them forth

As you get to know,
who God really is . . .
you’ll ditch your plans
and go after His.
For He has a purpose,
for you and your life
one filled with peace
not of earthly strife.
The more you understand,
just what is God’s will
the more of it to you
He will daily reveal.
For His plans will unfold,
the more of Him you seek
and you’ll see His purpose
the more you are meek.
God has a plan for you,
this you must not doubt
for in you He is working . . .
all good things out!
~~~~~~~~
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
saith the Lord, thoughts
of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end.

And we know that all things
work together for good to
them that love God, to them
who are the called according
to his purpose.

Stay still my soul,
be still and know . . .
for God is with you
wherever you go.
Tremble yourself not,
rather wait and be still
for God will show you
what is His perfect will.
Be at rest my soul,
be at peace inside
let the Holy Spirit

Listen for His voice,
in the quiet stillness
and God will release
on you His calmness.
Stay sill my soul,
be still and know . . .
and from the truth
do not let go!

A purposeful plan,
in Christ centered
once into the world
Jesus entered.
A pattern for us,
on how we’re to live
one that teaches us how
to love and forgive.
A life reflecting,
His grace and goodwill
one desiring knowing
and doing God’s will.
A spiritual walk,
in every one of His ways
willing to be Spirit led
for the rest of our days.
A life filled with purpose,
like Jesus we’re to be
so that His Spirit in us
others would too see!

Whatever we need,
God will provide
whatever we want
we’ll not be denied.
For our spiritual needs,
God will fulfill
when ever we ask . . .
Lord, if it be your will.
Whenever we thirst,
God will satisfy
whenever we hunger
He will gratify.
For our spiritual desires,
God will grant us
whenever we tell Him
it’s in you that I trust.
Whatever we need,
whenever we desire
God will fulfill out needs
when on Him we inquire!

that we have the petitions that
we desired of him.

It takes courage,
a spirit willing to go the length
it takes confidence
letting God supply the strength.
It takes commitment,
a determination to do God’s will
it takes patience
a willingness to wait and be still.
It takes persistence,
a resolve to keep pressing on
it takes diligence
for the faithful race to be won.
It takes perseverance,
a heart willing to go the distance
it takes a dedicated mind
able to handle the resistance.
It takes focus,
eyes always kept on the goal
it takes Jesus . . .
to have a conquering soul!

Philippians 3:14

Hebrews 12:1-2
Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great
a cloud of witnesses, let us lay
aside every weight, and the sin
which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author
and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before
him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and is set down at the
right hand of the throne of God.

I am just a vapor,
a puff of steam in the air
so, I give to the Lord
all on earth I have to bear.
I may be here today,
but tomorrow I might not be
so, I lay up my treasures
in a place I cannot see.
I know not His will,
for the days of my life
so, I give to the Lord
all of my daily strife.
God could have me live,
to a hundred or more
but, then again tomorrow
I could be at heaven’s door.
I am just a vapor,
my days are in His hands
so, I rest in the comfort
of His eternal plans!
~~~~~~
James 4:14
“Whereas ye know not
what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life?
It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for
a little time,
and then vanisheth away.”

Instruct me to wait,

Train me to follow,

Enlighten my soul,

keep me in Your sight
until our paths merge!

Heavenly guidance,
we all need to seek
for it will give strength
whenever we’re weak.
But it will take us,
some doing on our part
to hear the Holy Spirit
speaking to our heart.
Heavenly counseling,
we all need to pray for
for it will lead us
straight to heaven’s door.
But we need to learn,
to wait and be still
and not budge an inch
until we know God’s will.
Heavenly guidance,
we all need to find
for it brings peace
to both heart and mind!

Lord, may I continue,
to act on and work out
my salvation until . . .
I’ve not one ounce of doubt.
No doubt You won’t do,
in my life Your good pleasure
so I may discover
Your mercy is without measure.
Lord may I remain,
in Your Word submersed
until I’m completely
schooled and well versed.
Versed in Your love and grace,
the daily care for my soul
so that Your will for my life
will keep me in control.
Lord, may I with holy fear,
use care and due diligence
to work out my salvation . . .
with a trembling willingness!

Philippians 2:12-13
Wherefore, my beloved,
as ye have always obeyed,

in you both to will and to
do of his good pleasure.

I hunger for the truth,

for God’s provisions
to uphold me on my way.
I get down on my knees,
seek to find His face
I ask Him to sustain me
in the bounty of His grace.
I thirst for His wisdom,
like a deer I pant all day
for God to encourage me
along the narrow way.
I desire to know His will,
to be in His love sated
so the joy of my salvation
will keep me forever elated.
I hunger for the truth,
after wisdom I do thirst
I pray God will fill me . . .
with faith until I burst!

Though I am weary,
I am never depleted

with strength when needed.
He always leads me to find,
waters running still
whenever I follow
after knowing His will.
Though I am tired,
I am never exhausted

When you ask God,
to take over control
make sure you give Him
your whole heart and soul.
For without given Him,
your complete trust . . .
your faith cannot remain
in Him rich and robust.
When you ask Jesus,
to be Lord of your life
you must give to Him
all your worldly strife.
For if you want Him,
to lead and guide you
your worries and cares
you must cast on Him too.
When God you ask,
in Jesus’ name believe
and all of His answers . . .
you will surely receive!

Some people think,
with God they can bargain
some think to their terms
He will gladly hearken.
But, God will not make,
with us any kind of deal
He only wants us to know . . .
what’s for us is His perfect will.
Some people say to God,
if You do this ~ I’ll do that . . .
some will haggle with Him
and take Him to the mat.
But, we cannot entice,
God to do anything . . .
for He is in control
of absolutely everything.
Some people with God,
think they can bargain
but to our haggling
He will not harken!

an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who
worketh all things after the counsel

Born to grow,

born so my strength

Born to think,
recognize and detect
born so my life

Born to tell apart,

Born to grow,

born to prove to satan . . .
