THINK OF THE CROSS

Think of the cross
When troubles you face.
Think of the cross
When decisions you make.

Think of the cross
When you struggle with sin.
Think of the cross
On Jesus depend.

Think of the cross
Let it flood your mind, you see.
Think of the cross
His blood cleanses thee.

Think of the cross
And His unfailing love.
Think of the cross
And its bless from above!

YOU'LL BE AMAZED

You'll be amazed
If you follow God you see.
You'll be amazed
How He transforms you and me.

You'll be amazed
At all He can do.
You'll be amazed
At how much He loves you.


You'll be amazed
When life seems unfair.
You'll be amazed
How quickly He is there.

You'll be amazed
When you bow to Him in prayer.
You'll be amazed
An answer is always there!

This is a picture I took of the Garden of Gethsemane. Those olive trees were there
at the time of Christ.

JESUS KNOWS

Jesus knows...
About your struggles today.
Jesus knows...
When you can't find your way.

Jesus knows...
Every tear that you shed.
Jesus knows...
Every hair on your head.


Jesus knows...
When you're to weary to pray.
Jesus knows...
When you've had a bad day.

Jesus knows...
All about  this you see
Jesus knows...
For He felt this at Gethsemane!

INVESTING TIME IN A HIGHER PURPOSE

Investing time in a higher purpose
When the world is calling you
Take the time to bow in prayer
Midst the busy things you do.

Investing time in a higher purpose
When busyness puts you to the test
Take the time lean on God
And give yourself a rest.

Investing time in a higher purpose
Even a smile can be worthwhile
Look for some lonesome soul
And walk that extra mile

Investing time in a higher purpose
Trust in God as through life you trod
Just remember what He said,
"Be still and know that I AM GOD!"

DON'T LOSE HEART

Don'r lose heart
When you see others succeed
And you feel
You have a greater need.

Don't lose heart
With rejection and loss
The worlds not your measure
Your measure's the cross.

Don't lose heart
When you don't understand
God is very alive
And He still has a plan.

Don't lose heart
Trials strengthen your faith
And that is the reason
God's asking you to wait!

STABILIZING FAITH

Stabilizing faith
Will help you see
When pressures assail you
God will be with thee.

Stabilizing faith
When circumstances deteriorate
And you are surrounded
By the the world's greed and hate.

Stabilizing faith
When new problems appear
Just turn to God in prayer
He will be near.

Stabilizing faith
Means you know you're not alone
God will be there for you
In every battle that's your own!

Give not in to his invitation
As he wants you to fall.

When you're feeling lonely
He will chase away all fright.

"Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free."
John 8:32

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

Truth will set you free
Not the world's truth, you see
But with the truth
From God to thee.

Truth will set you free
When you follow God's plan
He wants to strengthen you
He wants you to take a stand.

Truth will set you free
Let God control your every thought
Talk to Him in prayer
You'll have the peace you've sought.

Truth will set you free
Study the Scriptures each day
Saturate  your mind in God
He'll show you a more excellent way.

If the way seems dim
Know God is with you

ADVERSITY

Adversity...
Some days may seem hard to bear
And you may think
There is no one to care.

Adversity...
Remember God is there
And when adversity comes
Do not despair.

Adversity...
God wants dependance from you
He wants you to rely on Him
In everything you do.

Adversity...
God is forming your soul
And in the trenches of adversity
Watch His love unfold.

FOR YOUR GROWTH

For your growth
Have a relationship with God you see
Ask Him to speak to your heart
And He will grant this to thee.

For your growth
You must walk in the valley low
It is through the difficulties of life
That you will grow.

For your growth
You must experience failures along the way
You learn from your mistakes
And God will guide you each day.


For your growth
Trust God, He has a plan
He knows your every need
And He does understand!

COMMITMENT

Commitment...
Is so needed today
In a lost world
Where pleasure is the sway.

Commitment...
To our God seems lost, you see
And also commitment
To  friends and family.

Commitment...
To our country the military serve
Our respect and commitment
Is what they deserve.

Commitment...
Means we must take a stand
If we want God to be with us
And bless this great land.

In all trouble and sorrow
He'll see you through!

ENTRUST YOURSELF TO THE FATHER

Entrust yourself to the Father
This is sometimes hard to do
When we are so very anxious
For those we love so true.

Entrust yourself to the Father
Means handing over all control
And we all want our own way
Whether we are young or old.

Entrust yourself to the Father
He wants what's best you see
And when difficulties come
He will guide you and me.

Entrust yourself to the Father
His love will calm each fear.
Circumstances can't overwhelm us
For He is always near!
