PEACE TO YOU

Peace to you
In this world of unrest.
Peace to you
When you're put to a test.

Peace to you
When frustrations arise.
Peace to you
Be patient and wise.

Peace to you
In your living depth
Peace to you
In your every step.

Peace to you
As each new day you start.
Peace to you
I'm living in your heart!

THE BEAUTY AND GLORY OF GOD

The beauty and glory of God
Is seen and each glorious sunrise.
The beauty and glory of God
Is in each sweet surprise.

The beauty and glory of God
Is seen is a summer shower.
The beauty and glory of God
Is there in every flower.

The beauty and glory of God
Is in the power of the sea
The beauty and glory of God
Is in the mountain's majesty.

The beauty and glory of God
Just look around and you will see
The beauty and Glory of God
Is everywhere, you'll be!

ANCHOR OF YOUR SOUL

Anchor of your soul
Jesus Christ tis He.
Anchor of your soul
For He died for thee.

Anchor of your soul
When the storms abound.
Anchor of your soul
Make sure the ties are sound.

Anchor of your soul
When your mind drifts away.
Anchor of your soul
Make Him your stay.

Anchor of your soul
When sorrow runs so deep.
Anchor of your soul
He will your soul keep!

GOD'S LOVE-LIGHT SHINES ON YOU

God's love-light shines on you
He knows your every thought,
So tell Him everything
All the problems life has brought.

God's love-light shines on you
Both day and night
And if you will ask Him,
He'll chase away each fright.

God's love light-light shines on you
And nothing is so bad,
That you can't tell it to Him
And it will make you glad.

God's love-light shines on you
And don't draw away
If you believe in Him,
He'll turn the darkest night to day!

HOPE is not a lucky charm or a wish...It is the "real" thing!
Today's poem was taken from today's "Jesus Calling."

HOPE IS A GOLDEN CORD

Hope is a golden cord
A bright and shining strand
You know that God is there
And that He holds your hand.

Hope is a golden cord
That binds you to the cross
It will help you in time of stress
And when you suffer loss.

Hope is a golden cord
That threads through life each day
It pulls you up the hills so steep
And guides you along the way.

Hope is a golden cord
Where ere your weary feet may rome
If offers you a world of peace
And lights your way home!

Of the mountains and the sea.
God is in control
Of everything that will be.

God is in control
You must understand.
God is in control
No matter how you plan.

God is in control
He can see ahead today.
God is in control
Let Him have His way.

God is in control
You must not fret or stew.
God is in control
And He has a plan for you.

THE ART OF GIVING THANKS

The art of giving thanks
Practice it each day
It opens up the door
For blessings to flow your way.

The art of giving thanks
Will build your trust in God
You need a grateful attitude
As through this life you trod.

The art of giving thanks
In each circumstance
Will usher you into His presence
So give thanks in advance.

The art of giving thanks
For a multitude of things
Will make you aware
Of the blessings that life brings.

BRIGHTEN UP THE WORLD

Brighten up the world
Like a lighthouse on the shore.
Brighten up the world
As you've never done before.

Brighten up the world
With a smile or two.
Brighten up the world
Show how much God loves you.

Brighten up the world
Let good-will abound.
Brighten up the world
Let your light shine all around.

Brighten up the world
Be that one small spark.
Brighten you the world
Be a candle in the dark.

BE AUTHENTIC WITH GOD

For that is all He expects of thee.

YOUR UNION WITH ME IS INVISIBLE

Your union with Me is invisible
Sometimes you may feel all alone
But then, just remember
I died your sins to atone.

Your union with Me is invisible
But I am always there
Just look around you
You will see Me everywhere.

Your union with Me is invisible
But I'm more real than the world you see
I gave you family and your friends
Their love comes through Me.

Your union with Me is invisible
You walk with Me by faith
It is not an escape from reality
One day you will see Me face to face.

FOCUS ON GOD

Focus on God
You really can
The world will always
Have many a demand.

Focus on God
In the business of life
And you will have
Less push and strife.

Focus on God
Not on the past
Look to the future
For peace that will last.

Focus on God
Not, activities and such
If you walk close to God
He will bless you so much!

SELF-PITY

Have a pity-party
If you really must
But quickly get back on track
In Me put your trust.

If you let self-pity linger
Soon it will reign supreme
And than you will find
It has become your king.

So, today wear a smile
Put self-pity on the run
I am the light
I want to be your sun.

If you guard your thoughts
And concentrate on Me
You will soon find
 Peace and joy for thee.

MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU

My Grace is sufficient for you
Why worry about tomorrow
Today has its own problems
From tomorrow do not borrow.

My Grace is sufficient for you
I've divided night from day
So that you can handle
What may come your way.

My Grace is sufficient for you
Do not worry is a command
So take each day as it comes
Your future is in My hand.

My Grace is sufficient for you
You carry burdens that should not be
What I really want from you
Is have you fully trust in Me!

WALKING THE PATH

Walking the path
God's chosen for me
Has not always been
My cup of tea.

Walking the path
Of loneliness and fear
Wanting my family
To always be near.

Walking the path
Carrying my cross
And bearing my own
Burden and loss.

Walking the path
There's balance, you see
There's also love and joy
God's chosen for me.

YOU CAN'T FIX YOURSELF

You can't fix yourself
No matter how hard you try
You'll only be depressed
And feel you want to cry.

You can't fix yourself
With diet and exercise
You can't do it by yourself
You will soon realize.

You can't fix yourself
When you have a broken heart
But you can give to God
Each broken part.

You can't fix yourself
But the Great Physician can
Just let Him do His work
And rely on His great plan.

WHISPER MY NAME

Whisper My name
Soft and sweet
Not in vain
I do repeat.

Whisper My name
Cursing is an assault to Me
It's blaspheme to My ears
And should never be.

Whisper My name
Be loving and sincere
For it is then
I want you near.

Whisper My name
It will bless both you and Me
For the power in My name
Is amazing to see.

HAVE NO OTHER GOD BEFORE YOU

Have on other god before you,
Money, pride or greed
For I know you so well
And will fill your every need.

Have no other god before you
People, fame or pride
For I am a jealous God
And want you by My side.

Have no other god before you
This world's glitter and pleasure
Will only bring you sorrow
I want you to be My treasure.

Have no other god before you
Experience My joy and peace
Then you will be a beacon,
A light that will not cease.

FATHER, QUIET MY MIND

Father quiet my mind
From the distractions around
Help me to focus
On my blessings that abound.

Father, quiet my mind
From this world so filled with sin
May I take the time to pray
And feel Your Spirit within.

Father quiet my mind
When it is so filled with doubt
Fill me with gratitude
May I never leave You out.

Father, quiet my mind
Reprogram my thoughts each day
Keep me free from worry
As I travel life's highway.

PRACTICE POSITIVE THOUGHTS

Practice positive thoughts
As you go about your day
Think of special memories
You've had along the way.

Practice positive thoughts
When overwhelmed with sorrow
Have a plan set in your mind
For a happy tomorrow.

Practice positive thoughts
When all alone and blue
If you think on cheerful things
You'll soon be smiling too.

Practice positive thoughts
When you're in a sad mood
Your sadness will melt away
When you have a grateful attitude!

When I'm anxious and filled with sorrow.
My security rests in God
He will take care of tomorrow.

My security rests in God
When I feel so all alone.
My security rests in God
When I'm out of my comfort zone.

My security rests in God.
He is in control of my life.
My security rests in God
He will see me through all strife.

My security rests in God
He has all things planned, you see.
My security rests in God
And I'm prepared what life brings to me!

DON'T MAKE JUDGING YOUR PASTIME

Don't make judging your pastime,
We cannot judge one fair.
Don't make judging your pastime,
We need to only show we care.

Don't make judging your pastime,
We've not walked in another's shoes.
Don't make judging your pastime,
We have so very much to lose.

Don't make judging your pastime,
When God has offered release.
Don't make judging your pastime,
If we want a life of peace.

Don't make judging your pastime,
Not even your own life's review.
Don't make judging your pastime,
When God has forgiven you.

TIME ALONE WITH JESUS

Time along with Jesus
Is what I need, you see
I need to reconsider
What He has done for me.

Time alone with Jesus
To get to know His will
To ponder each decision
And hear His "peace be still."

Time alone with Jesus
To let Him mend my heart,
So I can feel His presence
And know He'll not depart.

Time alone with Jesus
He will guide my way
For if He cares for the sparrows
He will get me through each day!
