WHEN OTHERS MAKE MISTAKES

When others make mistakes
Remember Christ on the cross
Know He died for all
And counted not the loss.

When others make mistakes
Offer a friendly hand
Tell then that you still love them
That you understand.

When others make mistakes
And you see the fix they're in
Remember the Bible says
Love covers a multitude of sin.

When others make mistakes
You should be forgiving
For you have no way of knowing
How painful is their living.

When others make mistakes
Do not judge harshly, you see
Unless you are sure
That there is no fault in thee!

PROBLEMS ARE PART OF LIFE.

Problems are part of life
You can't fix everything
So rely on Me
And the peace that I bring.

Problems are part of life
This world is full of sin
But each day with Me
Is a chance to start again.

Problems are part of life
It's in the valley where you grow
Do not let fixing things be top priority
It is not the way to go.

Problems are part of life
Know as through this world you rome
You're just passing through
You'll find no problems in your new home!

BLESSINGS IN LIFE

Blessings in life
Are too many to count
Blessings each day
Continue to mount.

Blessings in life
Are from God's own hand
One of the blessings
Is freedom in this land.

Blessings in life
Family and each friend
The blessings roll on
They never end.

Blessings in life
Salvation is one
The greatest from God
His only Son!

Though sorrow or pain
It will lift your spirits
And your faith regain.

Know God will be waiting
Around each bend

So smile instead of frown.

Give thanks anyway
If mountains seem hard to climb
And you feel your strength is gone
With God spend some time.

Count your blessings, not your sorrows
For God has promised you

And all the men and women
For freedom and to fight.

And receive so many blessings
For my Father up above.

Ih this picture, you see two of God's promises...the rainbow and the cross.

HIS POWER WILL TRIUMPH

His power will triumph
Over evil and sin
The war has been won
But there is still battles to win.

His power will triumph
Just when it appears
That the devil's succeeding
With his volunteers.

His power will triumph
Over disappointments and fears
He has kept His promises
Down through the years.

He  power will  triumph
Over rudeness and greed
When we think that evil
Will surely succeed.

He  power will triumph
Over all sorrow and loss
Just when things seem hopeless
Keep your eyes on the cross!

Released from bondage
We've been made new
By the blood of Jesus

Released from bondage
To live without fear
For He has promised
To always be near.

Released from bondage

Giving up my own ideas
And follow Him alone.

I will lift your load of care.

Do not be discouraged
By what others do or say
Just keep Me as your focus
I'm with you every day!
