Have you met my Rock,
have you viewed life from the top
have you seen the beauty
from up here on my Rock?
Have you reached my Rock,
have you ascended to the summit
have you felt the power
from up here on my Rock?
Have you scaled my Rock,
have you soared up to its height
have you sensed the love
from up here on my Rock?
Have you discovered my Rock,
have you found to Him the way
have you perceived the peace
from up here on my Rock?
Have you gone to my Rock,
have you asked Him for forgiveness
have you made the one time climb . . .
to meet Jesus this Rock of mine?
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:6
“He only is my rock
and my salvation:
He is my defence;
I shall not be moved.”

The stepping-stones of faith,
we all need to get across . . .
but, first we must believe
Jesus died for us on the cross.
The steps following are easy,
if on Jesus we keep our eyes
for, He will be our Teacher . . .
the One who leads and guides.
The stepping-stones of faith,
will take us into deep water
but, if we believe in the Word
from the truth we’ll not falter.
Each stone is a step of trust,
for the meek and compliant
if we take them one by one
on God we’ll become reliant.
The stepping-stones of faith,
are right in front of us . . .
but, they’ll be stumbling blocks
if in God we do not trust!
~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 86:11
Teach me thy way, O Lord;
I will walk in thy truth: unite
my heart to fear thy name.
1 Peter 2:8
“And a stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offence,
even to them which stumble
at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.”

Lord, lift me up today,
help me to rise and stand
release into my life
the power in Your hand.
Make my mind stronger,
renew Your peace in my soul
remind me You are the one
who is always in control.
Show my weary spirit,
Your might is all I need
how strength comes when
I let You guide and lead.
Reinforce into my life,
the power that dwells inside
remind me You’re the one . . .
who in my heart resides.
Lord, lift me up today,
help me to rise above . . .
make me stronger Lord
in the power of Your love!

When you’re feeling dreary,
when you’re sad and blue
look up into the heavens
your hope will shine through.
For, when we focus in on,
our destiny that’s above
our despair will turn to joy
in the light of eternal love.
Where you’re feeling lonely,
when you are all alone
look up into the heavens
envision God’s holy throne.
For, when we gaze upon,
the future God has in store
our feelings of emptiness
will be with us no more.
When you’re feeling dejected,
desperate for a friend
look up into the heavens
where peace will never end.
For, when we fix our eyes,
on the Kingdom yet to come
everything else will appear
a lot less grim and glum!

Oh, worthy is the Lamb,
who died for you and me
deserving of our praise
let His glory bow our knee.
For, the Lamb brings salvation,
it’s in His grace we can trust
Oh, worthy is the Lamb . . .
who turns our sins but to dust.
Oh, worthy is the Lamb,
all His sheep bless His name
He gave to us a new life
and took with Him our shame.
For, the Lamb came in love,
to save a world full of hate
Oh, worthy is the Lamb . . .
who opened heaven’s gate.
Oh, worthy is the Lamb,
so powerful and so wise . . .
one day His full glory
will radiate from our eyes!

I feel the power,
the Holy Spirit’s rush
I feel the fire . . .
of joy’s eternal blush.
I feel the electricity,
stirring me up inside
I feel the energy
only He can provide.
I feel the power,
of His holy might
I feel the boldness
of His intense light.
I feel His strength,
emerging out of me
I feel the shaking
of Him setting me free.
I feel the power,
the Holy Spirit’s fire
it’s burning me up
with an embolden desire!

You needn’t be a Magi,
to follow the CHRISTmas Star . . .
you don’t have to make a trip
or need to come from very far.
You don’t have to bring gifts,
of gold, myrrh or frankincense
it won’t cost you a thing . . .
other then your penitence.
You needn’t be a shepherd,
to follow the CHRISTmas Star . . .
you don’t have to go anywhere
it will come to where you are.
For, Jesus is the Light shinning,
for all of the world to see . . .
He brings hope to the darkness
with His grace He’ll set you free.
You don’t have to be a Magi,
or a shepherd coming from afar
you can accept the gift of Jesus . . .
today, right from where you are!

Matthew 2:9-11
When they had heard the king,
they departed; and, lo, the star,
which they saw in the east, went
before them, till it came and stood
over where the young child was.
When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
And when they were come into the house,
they saw the young child with Mary his mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him:
and when they had opened their treasures,
they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
frankincense and myrrh.

We all need God’s help,
in the things we do
we all need His grace
to help us get through.
We need God’s guidance,
to continue as we go
we need His power
in our lives to flow.
We need God’s support,

we need His favor

We need God’s assistance,

we need His strength

We all need God’s help,

we all need His mercy . . .
in our lives each day anew!

When not sure of what to do,
and God hasn’t answered you
when you’re feeling down and out
and you’re full of fear and doubt.
That’s the time you need to look,
for His promises in the Good Book
you’ll find the remedy for your needs
when to His Word your spirit heeds.
When you’re troubles take over you,
and worry surrounds all you do
when you’re down and feeling sad
and your anxieties mount and add.
That’s the time you need to pray,
asking the Lord to lead the way
He will show you where to go
and His directions you will know.
When you need answered prayer,
be still as you wait to hear
for God promises with His eye
to make for you the way clear!

Father I thank You,
today for Your grace
and the wisdom I need
to wisely run the race.
For, I know of the evil,
I will witness today
and to walk cautiously
must be my mainstay.
Father I thank you,
today for Your direction
for the wisdom to have
in the world no connection.
For, though times are dark,
You make it clear to me
how living like a fool
I do not want to be.
Father I thank you,
for helping me to walk wise
so that I can be mindful
of satan’s traps and lies!

Sufficient today,
is the strength I need
adequate it shows me
when the Bible I read.
For God has a supply,
that goes a long way
enough to give everyone
their share for the day.
Timely is today,
is the power I receive
ample is my faith
that I should believe.
That in my weaknesses,
is when I am strong
for Jesus gives me rest
when things go wrong.
Sufficient is today,
the grace I am given
for I am thankful everyday
that I am even forgiven!
~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect
in weakness. Most gladly therefore
will I rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ

My God is so big . . .
He can conquer anything
He can turn a dry river
into a life-giving stream.
My God is so big . . .
He can carry my heavy load
He can lift from me my burdens
send them packing down the road.
My God is so big . . .
He can turn water into wine
He can bring back a lost soul
who’s fallen from His vine.
My God is so big . . .
He can do the utmost impossible
He can move the largest mountain
for nothing to Him is insolvable.
My God is so big . . .
He can part the Red Sea
He can heal the lame and sick
make blind eyes able to see.
My God is so big . . .
He can take my every fear
He can remove all my worries
for my God makes all things clear.
My God is so big . . .
how big is that one of yours?
mine will forgive your sin
when you open to Jesus the door!

I fear God for one reason,
and it’s not that I’m afraid
I fear His mighty power . . .
for, it leaves me amazed.
I stare in astonishment,
at the works of His hand
how all came together
just by His command.
I worship Him and marvel,
as I gaze out into space
in awe I stand in wonder
of His mercy and His grace.
I tremble and I shake,
my understanding fails me
for, it’s hard to comprehend
all I can and cannot see.
I fear God for one reason,
but, it’s not that I am fearful
I fear Him because I know . . .
He is mightily powerful!

If the Lord is our Shepherd,
why then do we still want?
If He supplies all our needs,
why do our lacks still taunt?
If besides still waters He leads,
why then do we still fear?
If He fills us with quietness,
why don’t we hold Him near?
If green pastures bring peace,
why then are we still stressed?
If He leaves us not lacking,
why don’t we feel blessed?
If He restores our souls,
why then do we still doubt?
If He satisfies our deep thirst,
why is their still a drought?
If in righteousness He guides,
why then do we still wander?
If the Lord is truly our Shepherd,
we needn’t these things ponder!

Psalm 23:1-3
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down

of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

We are earthen vessels,
treasures, yes we are . . .
God’s power bottled up
in each and every jar.
So when we are troubled,
we do not fret or stress
instead we claim victory
that in Him we possess.
And when we’re perplexed,
our trust in God we declare
so that we will not fall
into a state of despair.
And when we’re persecuted,
our lives are not shaken
for God’s promised us
we’d never be forsaken.
And when we’re cast down,
we are not devastated
for we know from God
we’ll never be separated.
We are earthen vessels,
inside of us Jesus lives
and daily into our life’s
His power He boldly gives!
~~~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 4:7-10
But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels, that the
excellency of the power may
be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side,
yet not distressed;
we are perplexed,
but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken;
cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body
the dying of the Lord Jesus,
that the life also of Jesus
might be made manifest in our body.

Oh, My little sparrow,
I have given you My peace
and unto eternity . . .
it will never cease.
I have empowered you,
with My sufficient grace
but it is up to you
to seek My faithful face.
Oh, My little sparrow,
I will not let you fall
and unto eternity . . .
I’ll hear your every call.
I have given you freedom,
to fly off anywhere
but it’s up to you to take . . .
Me with you everywhere.
Oh, My little sparrow,
I have given you My calm
and unto eternity . . .
I will hold you in My palm.
But you must learn to fly,
on your own faithful wings
for you are not My puppet . . .
I hold not onto your strings!
~~~~~~~~~~
Matthew 10:29-31
Are not two sparrows sold

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of
more value than many sparrows.

Lord, my strength isn’t in my bones,
for they’re too weak and frail . . .
my strength is in the knowledge
Your Spirit in me will never fail.
My strength does not come,
from anything that I can do
for, I have very little power
if it does not come from You.
Lord, my strength can’t be found,
by going to the gym or spa . . .
it shows up when I exercise
to You, my holy awe.
My strength is thin and feeble,
and sometimes I cannot stand
but, when I draw close to You
I feel the power of Your hand.
Lord, my strength doesn’t measure up,
when compared to Your own . . .
my burdens would be too heavy
if I had to carry them alone!

When all you have is anguish,
when there’s nothing more to do
and all of your pain and suffering
has taken the very best from you.
When trials turn into desperation,
when they start to overburden you
and the pressure of your troubles
you can no longer alone get through.
When your misery turns to despair,
when you feel hopelessness inside
and another raging, internal storm
you don’t have the strength to ride.
When Jesus is all you have,
when you finally come to your knees
and you give Him all your hardships
you’ll find He will meet all your needs.
For Jesus is your burden bearer,
and He will never disappoint . . .
so cast your cares upon Him

Life is full of steep hills,
valleys plenty deep
no wonder we need . . .
a Good Shepherd’s keep.
With all the uncertainty,
each day we must face
no wonder we need . . .
a sufficient dose of grace.
Our fears can be many,
our worries limitless
no wonder we need . . .
God’s mercy measureless.
With all the challenges,
we daily go through
no wonder we need . . .
God our hearts to renew.
Life is full of storms,
with winds so unexpected
no wonder we need . . .
to run until perfected!

Philippians 3:14
I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus

Lord, Give me faith unwavering,
so I may stand steadfast . . .
give me strength unfaltering
so temptation I may outlast.
Give me faith unshakable,
so I may walk faithfully
give me hope unmistakable
so I may tread gracefully.
Give me faith unquestionable,
so I may remain true
give me trust unflinching
so I’ll stay close to You.
Give me faith unending,
so I may see eternity
give me faith undoubting
so I may live with certainty.
Lord, give me faith unequivocal,
give me strength, give me power
give me trust unconditional
give me faith till my final hour!

Romans 1:17

When you’re feeling down,
and you need a lift
just pick up your Bible
and give yourself a gift.
For inside you’ll find,
God’s promises galore
for you to find and claim
when His Word you explore.
When you’re feeling anxious,
remember this one thing
since God is on our side
what good will worry bring.
For He is our God of peace,
who showers us from above
the gentleness of His mercy
in the tenderness of His love.
When you’re feeling discouraged,
and deep waters begin to flow
cast your cares upon Him
then watch His blessings grow.
For He is your Rock and Anchor,
He will never let you down
He will turn those deep rivers
into dry and solid ground.
All the assurance you need,
is written in the Good Book
but you’ll have to pick it up
and take for yourself a look!

God equips His vessels,
according to His will
all He wants them to do
is to wait and be still.
He has a purpose,
for each vessels use
and until He is done
He’ll not set them loose.
God shapes His vessels,
as He sees fit
He molds each one
of them bit by bit.
He has a plan,
for forming each one
as He works into them
the image of His Son.
God equips His vessels,
with all things pleasing
as the power of Jesus
He begins releasing!
~~~~~~
Hebrews 13:21
Make you perfect in every
good work to do his will,
working in you that which is
well pleasing in his sight,
through Jesus Christ; to whom
be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Nothing can move me,
no gale can blow me away
no storm can overtake me . . .
or cause me to go astray.
No cloud is too menacing,
no tempest can take me down
no burst of wind can take
the faith in Jesus I’ve found.
No downpour can blind side me,
no squall is too big of a deluge
no turbulence can carry me off
for, Jesus is my Rock and Refuge.
No lightning or thunder strike,
no bolt can knock me to the ground
no cloudburst is so overwhelming
that in Jesus I can’t rebound.
Nothing can move me,
no storm, no gale, no bolt, no gust
will take from me the faith I have
for, with my life it’s Jesus I trust!

Man has a heart of stone,
for God there’s no desire
the Bible is meaningless
not a word does it inspire.
But Jesus can remove,
the stiffness and hardness
till it is a heart of flesh
resembling His likeness.
Man is dead in sin,
lives in utter darkness
sees no need for God . . .
due to his heart’s roughness.
But Jesus can fill,
every heart with His light
if only man no longer
this truth would fight.
Man’s heart is granite like,
it is as cold as stone
but God can carve it . . .
into one of His own!
~~~~~~~~
Ezekiel 36:26
A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put within
you: and I will take away the stony
heart out of your flesh, and I will
give you an heart of flesh.

A light unto my path,
a brighter day I’ll see
for Jesus is the beam . . .
shining inside of me.
A lamp unto my feet,
His ways for me to see
for Jesus is the glow . . .
radiating out of me.
A candle in my darkness,
a flicker of hope to see
for Jesus is the sparkle . . .
twinkling all around me.
A lantern to my soul,
a glimmer for all to see
for Jesus is the shimmer . . .
reflecting out of me.
A torch unto my heart,
a spark that I can see
for Jesus is the flame . . .
burning deep in me!
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp
unto my feet,
and a light
unto my path.
John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again
unto them, saying,
I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall
not walk in darkness
but shall have the light of life.

I’m putting on my sneakers
entering in the faithful race
so I’m cushioning my soul . . .
with God’s sufficient grace.
The contest that’s before me,
seems a million-miles long
but I will trust in Jesus . . .
to help me finish strong.
With Him running with me,
I’ll focus in on winning
the confidence He’ll provide
will keep me from sinning.
I’ll have a sense of purpose,
hope will be in my stride
I’ll stay true to the course
knowing He is at my side.
I’ll run with Jesus’ strength,
He’ll provide the assurance . . .
the crown of life will be my prize
for He’ll give me the endurance!

I can do this,
I will get through it
for I have the strength
through Christ’s Spirit.
I can climb this,
this I can do
for I have Jesus . . .
His power too.
I can battle this,
yes, this I can win
for I have Christ
living here within.
I can handle things,
this storm I can face
for I have Jesus . . .
giving me the grace.
I can and I will,
get through this
for I have Christ . . .
how can I miss!

Lord, help me with my armor,
help me to daily put it on
so to all of satan’s lies . .
I will not be swayed or drawn.
Help me with my breast plate,
so my heart I can defend
so into satan’s wicked ways . . .
I will not fall or descend.
Help me with my boots,
so I can stand firm and strong
so with satan and his army . . .
I can combat them head on.
Help me with my shield,
so my mind I can protect
so that to satan’s disguises . . .
I can easily detect.
Help me with my helmet,
so I may protect my head
so onto satan’s wide path . . .
I will not be enticed or lead.
Lord, help me with my armor,
so that to Your Spirit I may yield
the power of Your Word . . .
when I go out into the battle field!
~~~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 6:11-12
Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.
