"I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation."
Philippine 4:12

THE SECRET OF CONTENTMENT

The secret of contentment
Is not as the world may see
It's not money or position
It's a life worry free.

The secret of contentment
Is knowing God is in control
And that He has a greater plan
Is the attitude you must hold.

The secret of contentment
Be grateful for things today
But just strive to be
A little better than yesterday.

The secret of contentment
Is knowing God is there
Even when you have to wait
For an answer to your prayer.

The secret of contentment
Is feeling God's presence here
And having a thankful heart
Believing your Salvation is secure!

"Suffering produces endurance." Romans 5:3

FAITH TO ENDURE

Faith to endure
Comes from the Lord, you see
Thought suffering and pain
He'll strengthen thee.

Faith to endure
 Each lonely hour
Bow your heard
And call on God in prayer.

Faith to endure
On His Word feed
Hear what they say,
His instructions heed.

Faith to endure
Through life's stormy sea
Keep your eyes on Jesus
As He whispers, "Lean on Me!"

LIFE IS A JOURNEY OF CHANGE

Life is a journey of change
Season come and they go.
Life is a journey of change
Loved ones leave us we know.

Life is a journey of change
Expect some sorrow and pain.
Life is a journey of change
Let Jesus reign.

Life is a journey of change
And is different each day.
Life is a journey of change
Let God lead the way.

Life is a journey of change
Of valleys deep and so low.
Life is a journey of change
Mountains steep as onward we go.

Life is a journey of change
Uncertain, unpredictable for sure.
Life is a Journey of change
But heaven awaits if we endure.

A LIFE OF PEACE

A life of peace
When we live in trust
And believe that God
Will take care of us.

A life of peace
When we forgive
If let go of of hurts
We learn to live.

A life of peace
From a troubled mind
When we practice
The art of being kind.

A life of peace
Is wrought by prayer
Then we can plainly see
God's blessings everywhere!

TRUE RICHES

True riches
Is no the money you make.
True riches
God forgive each mistake.

True riches
Are not the clothes you wear
To riches
God really does care.

True riches
Is not the house where you live.
True riches
Is a heart that will give.

True riches
Is not the things that you own
True riches
Are in God alone!

"The joy of the Lord is your strength"
Nehemiah 8:10

THOUGHTS OF JOY

Thoughts of joy
Will fill your soul
When you read
The great story ever told.

Thoughts of joy
Will bring you peace
When you go to God in prayer
And your worries release.

Thoughts of joy
Will soften your heart
When you help another
Get a new start.

Thoughts of joy
Will flood your mind
When you forgive others
And are always kind.

A GREAT MYSTERY

A great mystery
Is not the God-Head-Three
It is the fact
That God love even me.

A great mystery
Jesus left His heavenly land
To be born of a virgin
And become fully man.

A great mystery
That no matter the hour
Or the place or the circumstance
God hears every prayer.

A great mystery
Is not a wooden cross
But the that love held Jesus there
For a world that is lost!
