Oh, What Jesus Can Do for You ~
I see your pain,
I hear your doubt
I know you think
there’s no way out.
But, if Jesus can,
heal the sick and lame
I know for you . . .
He can do the same.
I hear your sorrow,
I see your grief
I know you think
they’ll be no relief.
But, if Jesus can,
calm the seas at will
I know for you . . .
your heart too will still.
I see your pain,
it’s written on your face . . .
but oh, what Jesus can do
with His love and grace!

unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help
in time of need.”

Just God and Me ~
Sometimes, I want to be,
with God all alone
I want peace and quiet
throughout my entire home.
I want hushed silence,
to be all around
I don’t want to listen to
one single little sound.
I just want calmness,
to be all that I hear
I just want to sense God
and His presence near.
I want total tranquility,
to be all that I feel
I want complete solitude
so before Him, I can kneel.
I want to hear His voice,
while down on my knees
I want to sing my praises
as He listens to my pleas.
Sometimes, I want to be,
with God all alone
but, peace and quiet . . .
they don’t live in my home!

Be Still and Know ~
Stop what you’re doing,
I want you to be awed
be still and know
that I am your God.
Quit trying,
let Me take care of you
quit stumbling
I know just what to do.
Quick fretting,
let Me work this out
quit worrying
give Me all that doubt.
Quit panicking,
I have your front and back
quit struggling
I know what you lack.
Quit fussing,
your future is in My hand
quit complaining
your days I have planned.
Quit resisting,
you can’t do this on your own
quit defying
let My way to you be shown.
Be still . . .
and know that I am God
stop what you’re doing
and in Me ~ you’ll be awed.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
A Quiet Heart ~
A quiet heart,
must be still
to hear the voice
of God’s will.
An inward calm,
is our assurance
He’s in control
our reassurance.
Life in His hand,
is peace known
trust runs deep
His way is shown.
Abiding hope,
is His promise
eternal love
its accomplice.
A quiet heart,
must be thankful
to a God
who is tranquil.
A quiet heart,
must be full of peace
for God’s stillness
to bring it release!

Calm Waters ~
Calm waters across the bay,
small ripples the shade of blue
quiet moments on the shore
in the stillness there is You.
As far as my eyes can see,
God’s peace is all around
I look and can see His beauty
from the sky to the ground.
My ears can barely hear,
whispers behind the breeze
Lord, these tranquil moments
remind me of Your ease.
I stand on the sandy beach,
Your peacefulness I take in
I sense the loving calmness
of Your Spirit deep within.
I watch in silent wonder,
reveling in the quietness
I listen to the silence . . .
absorbing Your awesomeness!
