Month: October 2018

Be still and listen, to the voice within your soul

Be still and listen, as His wisdom it unfolds

Be still and listen, take heed to what you here

Be still and listen, It’s the Father and He cares

Be still and listen, He knows what’s best for you

Be still and listen, everything He says is true

Be still and listen, with your heart so open wide

Be still and listen, He is standing by your side

Be still and listen, it’s a whisper but it’s clear

Be still and listen, there is nothing you should fear

Be still and listen, with patience calmly wait

Be still and listen, His answer won’t be late

Be still and listen, for the Lord will answer prayer

Be still and listen, don’t seek answers from elsewhere

Be still and listen, have no doubt within your heart

Be still and listen, His love will He impart

Be still and listen, be still and listen

Be still…………be still

Listen…….listen…….LISTEN

Oh to have a thousand tongues

That I might praise the Lord

Oh to have a thousand tongues

That I might praise Him more

Oh to have a thousand tongues

To give God praise He’s due

Oh to have a thousand tongues 

To praise Him through and through

But I do not have a thousand tongues

I only have this one

But if I use it wisely

To praise God as I should

I would not need a thousand tongues

My walk would do as good

As I open my eyes to a brand new day

“Thank You Lord” is the first thing I say

Thank You for waking me up this morn

Thank You for keeping me safe from harm

I start this day with You in my heart

Out of Your sight I will never depart

As I rise to face this day ahead

With You in me I have nothing to dread

I know I don’t face this day alone

For You are in charge, You are still on the throne

I ask You to guide my footsteps this day

To lead me, and teach me, and show me the way

I know with this day comes new trials and tests

I promise You Lord, I will give You my best

Greater is He that is in me this day

Than any trial or test that might come my way

I pray Your light will shine through me today

As a blessing to others who don’t know the way

In this brand new day, may Your will be done

May some lost souls be brought to Your Son

May I use this day wisely and not miss a chance

To share You with others in all circumstance

I praise You dear Lord from my heart of hearts

And now I am ready for my new day to start

AMEN

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Another day has come and gone

You’ve been beside me all day long

And now it’s time to rest my head

I thank you Lord for this warm bed

Through out the day, I’ve faced some trails

And because of You, I still can smile

I know You’re there to see me through

And when I need help, I can lean on You

I thank You Lord for supplying my needs

I thank You Lord on my bended knees

I thank You for the chance to witness to others

For I know in You, we’re all sisters and brothers

I thank You Lord for Your Son, Christ Jesus

I know His shed blood is what has freed us

And now it has come to the end of the day

A time when I stop and give thanks and pray

I thank You for keeping me safe and sound

I thank You that Your love and mercy abounds

Before I close my eyes and sleep

I pray dear Lord for your lost sheep

I pray for those who have gone astray

Please touch their hearts and minds this day

So now I close my eyes and sleep

Knowing dear Lord  my soul You’ll keep

AMEN.

Could be morning or noonday

Could be evening or at night

No set time to stop and pray

Anytime would be alright

Speak to the Lord through out the day

He will listen to what you have to say

From the smallest situation

To the largest in the nation

God is here to guide you through

He knows best what you should do

God knows you better than you know yourself

He doesn’t want to be left sitting on a shelf

Take Him with you where ever you go

Let His light in you forever show

You do not face the day alone

Jesus brought us for His very own

Take your troubles, big or small

Give them to the Lord, He’ll solve them all

And when things are going really great

That’s the time, don’t hesitate

To thank the Lord for all He’s done

For the blessings He gave you one by one

He’s not just here to see you through

He wants your love and fellowship too

So give Him honor, and glory, and praise all the time

And He will give you true peace of mind…………

ANYTIME

Ooh ooh Jesus

You are my rock and shield           (chorus)

          (repeat 4 times)

(verse 1)

You are my rock Lord, 

               You are my solid ground

You are my strength Lord,

                You are the hope I’ve found

You are my way Lord,

                You lead me with your light

You are my eyes Lord,

                You keep me in your sight

(verse 2)

You are my shield Lord, 

                You keep me safe from harm

You are my guide Lord,

                You lead me by the arm

You are my pathway,

                You are the one right road

You are my helper,

                You help me bear my load

(verse 3)

You are my Savior,

                You wash away my sins

You are my swordsman,

                All battles you will win

You are my comfort,

                You dry up all my tears

You are my courage,

                I have no need to fear

( repeat chorus, fading out )

   

Every second, every minute, every hour, every day

Every week, every month, every year slips away

Time moves on and on and on and on

Never to return, it’s here, then it’s gone

Looking back in time, there are things you would change

But it’s all for nothing, past times are out of range

We can’t go back and re-live yesterday

And all our tomorrows are uncertain to say

But what we can do with the time we are given

Use it wisely, not just for day to day living

Be as careful with your time as you are with your money

Give thought to your spending, not all days are sunny

We waste so much time because we think it is free

But we are mistaken, we’re as wrong as can be

The price for our time was paid for long ago

The price was so high, we couldn’t pay – don’t you know

Jesus paid the price with His life for you and me

When He was hung, and cursed, and died on a tree

The price was paid and although we weren’t there

What Jesus has paid for is ours to share

So let’s look at time as an expensive gift

Realize its value, and let our thinking shift

Our time is more precious than silver or gold

You cannot buy time, it’s already been sold

So take the time that God has given you

Always keeping in mind it has a true value

Use your time to do good for others

With God as our Father, we’re all sisters and brothers

Yes, use your time wisely, be a help to someone

Remembering time is judged by the SON

(Acts 3:19)

Going to work each and every day

Working forty hours for one week’s pay

Punching a time clock and working till noon

Having a lunch hour that’s over too soon

Back at your station by a certain time

For if you’re late, you may lose a dime

Working real hard to make your quota

And do they care?  Not one iota

Working at home from sunrise to sunset

Monetary gain you will not get

Wanting your family to appreciate you

They don’t even notice all that you do

We run out of hours before our work is through

And that means tomorrow there’ll be extra to do

The daily routine starts to wear you down

What would they do were you not around

Working for Jesus to win lost souls

One by one is our only goal

So many people for us to reach

God’s Holy Word is what we teach

We may not receive silver or gold

But our reward is thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold

This is a job that comes from the heart

Positions available, when can you start ?

(Mark 10:29-30)

(chorus) I want to be a lighthouse

                I want to lead lost souls to You

                I want to be a lighthouse

                And shine for You

                        (repeat) 

                Shine for You

(verse 1)

I want to stand on the shores of life

Leading the people home to Christ

I want to be that distant star

That leads them to where you are

(verse 2)

I want to shine across the sea

It is Your light that shines through me

I want to be all I can be

And share Your light with all who see

(verse 3)

Jesus has dispelled the dark

His light shines forever

He has cleared the way for us

He won’t leave us , never

And His light will never dim

It glows with re-assurance

His light shinning in our lives

Helps to give endurance

(verse 4)

I want to shine like Jesus

I want you to see Him in me

I want to shine like Jesus

So others too can see

I was born, I was meant to be

But my mom and dad abandoned me

I was found by some strange man

He rescued me from a garbage can

I should have died or so they said

They can’t believe that I’m not dead

They poked and prodded and stuck me too

My little body was black and blue

They ran me through a hundred test

But whose was I, they could not guess

My parents names they did not know

So they just called me little Jane Doe

I cried a lot, cause I was scared

I felt as if no one cared

And then I felt this loving touch

My worries and fears didn’t seem so much

A still small voice whispered in my ear

Hush my child, your Father’s here

(Ephesians 1:2)
