Through wars and peace.
Always King
Your fears to Him release.

Always King
He's faithful and true

In the New Year too.

Always King
He will not depart.
Always King
Make Him King of your heart!

FOCUS ON GOD IN THE NEW YEAR

Focus on God in the New Year
Things may have seemed hard to you,
But God has a plan for your life
And He will always be true.

Focus on God in the New Year
He knows all your weakness, you see
And He will supply what you lack
Whatever your journey will be.

Focus on God in the New Year
Cultivate reading His Word each day
Meditate on what you read
Believe and trust what the Scriptures say.

Focus on God in the New Year
Recall all His blessings to you
Praise Him for all answered prayers
And this year, bringing you through!

This gondola ride to the top of this mountain in Switzerland , was enough
to make you feel insecure.

FEELING INSECURE

Feeling insecure
In your world today?
Do you feel
That you have lost your way?

Feeling insecure
No confidence at all?
Do you feel that today
You will surely fall?

Ferling insecure?
That's what the devil wants, you see
He wants to take away your peace
And put fear in thee.

Feeling insecure?
Just stop and pray
God will always answer
He wants you to feel secure today!

ETERNALLY WELCOME

Eternal welcome
To God's very throne
For He wants to make us
His very own.

For some day  He wants
To see us face to face.

And that He will always
Care for me and you.

For He is with us
Each step of the way.

For He wants us to know
He will always be there!

This is my friend, Mary Scroggins. I still miss her.

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship
Is a gift from God to thee
When troubles and sorrow comes
You want a face you can see.

Someone to stand by you
Through the thick and the thin.

On you journey here.
It is such a comfort
To know that others care.

Friendship
God too, wants to be your friend
He will never betray you
On Him you can always depend!

MISSING YOU AT CHRISTMAS

Missing you at Christmas
A day you loved so well
You loved all our traditions
More than tongue can tell.

Missing you at Christmas
How you loved my chocolate pie
I hope three's chocolate in heaven
In you home beyond the sky.

Missing you at Christmas
I miss your, "I  love you"
And your sweet encouragement
And your kisses too.

Missing you at Christmas
And as I make my Christmas list
I'd like just one more day with you
For you are so very missed!

HE CAME TO LIGHT THE WORLD.

That was in darkness and sin.
He came to light the world
And the hearts within.

He came to light the world
To make our pathway glow.
He came to light the world
And loves us more than we know.

He came to light the world
Christmas lights bring us cheer.
He came to light the world
And make His message clear.

He came to light the world
But not just a Christmas time.
He came to light the war;d
And make His light forever shine!

HE CHANGED THE WORLD FOREVER

He changed the world forever
From the manger to the cross.
His birth was not about comfort
But about saving all the loss.

He changed the world forever
Born in a manger filled with hay
While the world lay sleeping
God came to lead the way.

He changed the world forever
And as He grew to be a man
He taught the world of love
And a better plan.

He changed the world forever
He gave His life for you and me
And gained victory over death
As He arose to set us free.

LOVING YOUR ENEMIES

Loving your enemies
Is hard to do
More than it helps them
It will benefit you.

Loving your enemies
When what's on your mid
Is getting even
But God said to be kind.

Loving your enemies
Pray they'll see the light
And that they will follow Jesus
Instead of fussing and fight.

Loving your enemies
Those that criticize you
Just take time to remember
What Jesus would do!

GLORY

Glory
Does not always come
In bright lights
Or a job well done

Glory
In lonely places
In the deep lined seams
Of friendly, old faces.

Glory
Comes from a suffering heart
And  when troubles come
But hope does not part].

Glory
When we stand the test each day
And give God the credit
In all we do and say!

SELF-COMDENMNATION

Self-condemnation
Is a sin you see
You must forgive yourself
For God has forgiven thee.

Self-condemnation
The  accusing voices that you hear
Are Satan's lies
He wants you to live in fear.

Self-condemnation
God's Holy Word reaffirm
And know God's full of grace
And He's neither cold or stern.

Self-condemnation
Choose...by the act of will
To believe all His promises
That He does each day fill!

THINK ABOUT THE UNLIMITED GOD

Think about the unlimited God
Who is able to to anything
He spoke and the world came to be
He called and out the stars came.

Think about the unlimited God
It was He that parted the red sea
Yet in His tender mercy
He cares so much for thee.

Think about the unlimited God
He made the sun and the moon stand still
Yet He loved enough to send the best
And through His grace,  He always will.

Think about the unlimited God
Who is sovereign and powerful too
Yet He became human flesh
Because of His great love for you!

DON'T RELY ON SELF

To thank God and pray.

When things don't go your way
Give it all to God
Tomorrow'a another day.

Don't rely on self
When you don't understand
Know that God has promised
To keep you in His hand.

Don't rely on self
When you're desperate and in need
Just trust Him with your heart
And wait, His will to heed.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO SAY NO

Don't be afraid to say no
At the demands put upon you
Jesus set boundaries
And that's what you should do.

Don't be afraid to say no
With money and time, be wise
You can take on too many activities
Before you soon realize.

Don't be afraid to say no
When an opportunity is there
Stop and take some time
To go to God in prayer.

Don't be afraid to say no.
Don't let stress ruin your day
The Lord will reveal His plan
And show you a more excellent way!

THE ABILITY TO CHANGE

The ability to change
Comes from God you see
For  it is He
That transforms you and me.

The ability to change
Means giving God your heart
And each day
He gives us a new start.

The ability to change
Means with God send time
For He does say
"You're wholly mine."

The ability to change
Is not ours to do
Our job is to trust God
To see us through!

Freedom from dependence

"You need not be dependent
On the God you hold so dear."

We want our freedom
Now more than ever before.

Pride and independence
Don't be deceived, you see,
We need God every moment

ADVERSITY IS GOD'S TOOL

Adversity is God's tool
Not to brake us, you see,
But to strengthen our faith
To be all we can be.

Adversity is God's tool
When it feels like a tunnel we're in
And we can't see our way
Know this too shall end.

Adversity is God's tool
When it seems with life we can't cope
God has promised His presence
And He has given us hope.

Adversity is God's tool
And if on this journey troubles mount
Remember we're just passing through
With God all our troubles do count!

A cluttered mind
Will be flawed
Too full of things
To follow God.

A cluttered mind
Listens, but does not hear
Prays, but does not feel
That God is near.

A cluttered mind
Reads, but does not see
And forgets such things

And needs God
Their fears to release.

O God I pray
Clear my mind to focus on You

Through every mistake you make
For you,  I really care.
