Give Me Grace Lord ~

Give me grace Lord,
when all is going right
give me more of it . . .
when up against a fight.
Give me grace Lord,
when the sunshine is out
give me more of it . . .
when there’s clouds of doubt.
Give me grace Lord,
when it’s time to sing
give me more of it . . .
when life begins to sting.
Give me grace Lord,
when I’m happy as a lark
give me more of it . . . .
when all is looking dark.
Give me grace Lord,
when I am sitting pretty
give me more of it . . .
when life becomes gritty.
Give me grace Lord,
amble and sufficient
for I know it will be . . .
perfect and efficient!
~~~~~~~~
And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect
in weakness.

His Life, Not Mine ~

Lost in Jesus,
His life, not mine
His will for me
now to go fine.
Lost in Jesus,
for His own sake
so from the world
I’d make a break.
Lost in His love,
cursed no longer
His grace for me
makes me stronger.
Lost in His hope,
my cross to bear
my life now
rests in His care.
Lost in Jesus,
not my life to live
now that my heart
to Him I give!
~~~~~~
And he that taketh
not his cross,
and followeth after me,
is not worthy of me.
He that findeth his life
shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for
my sake shall find it

A Calming Shush ~

He stills the waves,
to a calming hush
He gives His peace . . .
as storms at us rush.
He silences the seas,
to a tranquil lull
He grants us strength
when ours is dull.
He quiets the storms,
the winds He subdues
He gives us faith
when ours we lose.
He quiets the streams,
to a tranquil creek
He sends us power
when ours is weak.
He stills our souls,
to a calming shush . . .
He relieves our fear
with a soothing hush!
~~~~~~~~
He maketh the storm a calm,
so that the waves thereof are still.

With A Heart Wholly ~
Lord, help me to seek,
You whenever I am weak
with a heart wholly
devoted to You solely.
Guide me in Your ways,
the rest of my living days
keep me on the path
leading away from Your wrath.
Lord, help me to be wise,
see things through Your eyes
so I may always know
the worthy way to go.
Help me to be earnest,
in knowing Your purpose
whenever I should doubt
may to You I stay devout.
Lord, help me to seek,
You when things are bleak
give my heart a nudge
so from You I’ll never budge!
~~~~~~~~
Blessed are they that keep
his testimonies, and that seek
him with the whole heart.

Strength In Weakness ~
Weakness allows in us,
Jesus’ strength to flow
it makes us meek
so His power we’ll know.
It makes us proclaim,
when I’m weak I’m strong
it makes our faith firm
when trials come along.
Weakness allows in us,
Jesus’ grace to be
sufficient each day
for everything we need.
It helps us to endure,
the tests and the trials
for His grace is the key
to our spiritual vitals.
Our weakness keeps,
Jesus’ grace moving . . .
so His strength in us
can continue improving!
~~~~~~~
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 may rest upon me.
