MY LOVE IS POWERFUL

My love is powerful
It brought me to the cross
And it was there
Tha I paid love's awful cost.

My love is powerful
It will fill your heart's empty space
It will help you so much
To stay in life's race.

My love is powerful
Its depth you do not see
Nor its width nor height
But My love is a guarantee.

My love is powerful
Sufficient for each day
It will see you through life's storms
And take you into eternal day!

The best way to guard against self-pity is to do something
for someone else.

BE ON YOUR GUARD

Be on your guard
Don't let self-pity get a hold
Stay out of that trap
It is the devil's mold.

Be on your guard
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Don't think of what's lost
Be thankful for what's left.

Be on your guard
A pity-party, you see
Makes it so hard
To see blessings from Me.

Be on your guard
If you think of others each day
It will be sure
To keep self-pity away.

THE PITFALLS IN YOUR WALK

The pitfalls in your walk
Self-pity you must guard against, you see
For it will always...
Draw you away from Me.

The pitfalls in your walk
Preoccupation with all your sorrows
Is very sure to ruin
All of your tomorrows.

The pitfalls in your walk
When you encounter bumps along the way
You must take the time
To stop and pray.

The pitfalls in your walk
Your fears to Me you must release
There will be gladness and joy
And you'll find peace!

IT IS A FREE CHOICE

It is a free choice
To trust My love.
It is a free choice

It is a free choice
To kneel and pray.
It is a free choice
To be happy each day.

It is  free choice
Where your thoughts will be
It is a free choice
To be set free.

It is a free choice
To be forgiven, you see.
It is a free choice
Make that choice Me!

I AM WITH YOU

I am with you
These four words are a promise to you
That I'm always there
Wherever you do.

Because you are human
You have ups and downs
But whatever your circumstances
I'm always around.

Don't let some people
Discourage your walk
Just keep in mind
I'm here when you want to talk.

I'm holding your hand,
Giving you courage, you see
The pathway leads up
When you follow Me.

I'm not this person anymore...for one thing I'm several feet taller, a lot of pounds heavier
and many years older and that is just the physical.

DON'T TRY TO FIT TODAY INTO YESTERDAY'S MOLD

Don't try to fit today into yesterday's mold
For yesterday's gone, you see
Today is a brand new day
And I have new plans for thee.

Don't be afraid of changes in you
The old is passing away
New things are on the horizon
So look for them today.

Open your eyes to the beauty all around
It changes with the season, you see
And in the process you don'r remain the same
Your change is wrought by Me.

I have prepared for you, this precious day
A day filled with peace and love
And whatever circumstances you face
Know you are guided from heaven above!

MY VALENTINE

My Valentine
Is gone from sight, but not from heart
He will never from my love depart.

My Valentine
His words echo from the past.
His love for me will always last.

My Valentine
Now whispers in God's ear
Telling Him of his wife, so dear.

My Valentine
Is waiting there for me
Just beyond the crystal sea.

THE DESIRE OF YOUR HEART

The desire of your heart

Don't look for joy in things
It's they're not permanete you see.

The desire of your heart
And the focus of your mind,
If you keep them on Me
You'll always be kind.

The desire of your heart
Should not be money or power.
It sound be the peace
That I bring to you ever hour.

The desire or four heart
Is your treasure, you see,
Forget the things of this earth
And lay up treasures in Me!

TIMES OF DARKNESS

Times of darkness
Are opportunities for my light to shine bright
Whether in the day sunshine
Or through the lonely night.

Times of darkness
Comes to all you see
So do not be fearful
Just lean on Me.

Times of darkness
Gives my light contrast
And regardless of circumstances
It is a peace that will last.

Times of darkness
Is when I shall train thee
To over come it...
And know victory in Me!

"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the teacher. utterly meaninglessI"
Ecclesiastes 1:2
The writer is describing someone who has tried everything
to please himself instead of pleasing God.

DON'T DO MEANINGLESS THINGS

Don't do meaningless things
You don't have to always be busy, you see
I want you to stop and relax
And to keep your thoughts on Me.

Don't do meaningless things
Don't let demands ruin your day
You need to take some time
To get on your knees and pray.

Don't do meaningless things
Refuse to feel guilty when you rest
I know what you need
I made you, I know what's best.

Don't do meaningless things
Entrust your day to Me
I will counsel your way
And that will bring Me glory, you see.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY ROAD

This is not an easy road
Don't recoil from hardships as you go
For life is never free
And hardships help you grow.

This is not an easy road
Seek more intimacy with Me
Your journey may be uphill
But you'll have a better view, you see.

This is not an easy road
But my Presence shine on you
I will guide you all the way
In everything you do.

This is not an easy road
You're on a treasure hunt, you see
And at the journey's end
The treasure that you seek is Me!

LIFE, LIGHT AND JOY

Life, light and joy

Sone search the wold over
And find them not, you see.

The sadness of life will pass
You'll find comfort in your loss.

When you climb the mountain steep
Know I'm waiting there
With promises to keep.

Will be on the path you take
If you follow Me
New memories you will make.

DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF ME

Don't lose sight of Me
Find me in your walk today,
In the bird's sweet song
Along the way.

Don't lose sight of Me
See Me in each sunrise
And keep in mind
I'm kind and wise.

Don't lose sight of Me
My hand is on each blowing flower
And I'm with you
When you kneel in prayer.

Don't lose sight of Me
When you feel alone and fear
Just look around
And see I'm near!

WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT

Walk by faith, not by sight
whatever lies ahead,
You need not have no fear,
You need not have no dread.

Walk by faith, not by sight
I know the path you take.
And for you...
Know I have great plans to make.

Walk by faith, not by sight
And when you take your eye from Me
You will stumble on life's bumps
And make mistakes, you see.

Walk by faith, not by sight
Your path may lead up mountains steep,
But I am walking by your side
And I have promises to keep!
