STREAMS OF LIVING WATER

Streams of living water
Flow from Me to you.
Streams of living water
Drink freely, please do.

Streams of living water
I offer to everyone.
Streams of living water
I am God's only Son.

Streams of living water
Bring My Spirit to you.
Springs of living water
But those who drink are few.

Springs of living water
Be a channel of joy and love.
Springs of living water
Flow everlastingly from above!

HEAVEN'S BELLS PEAL WITH PROMISE

Heaven's bells peal with promise
Although few hear them ring.
Heaven's bless peal with promise
Of the blessings I will bring.

Heaven's bells peal with promise
Of the fact, I know My sheep.
Heaven's bells peal with promise
I watch over you when you sleep.

Heaven's bells peal with promise
In the quietness of each day
Heaven's bells peal with promise
Hear the message they convey.

Heaven's bells peal with promise
"I am with you," is what they say
Heaven's bells peal with promise
And will be with you all the way!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son."
John 3:16

LOVE MY ENEMY?

Love my enemy...
But how can that be
How can I love someone
That wants to hurt me?

Love my enemy...
That wants to harm me
Who wants to take pleasure
In keeping me for being free?

Love my enemy...
Why should that be
To love someone
Who does not love me?

Love my enemy...
"Yes." is God's reply.
"For, even your enemy
I sent my Son to die!

"Lord if it's you," Peter replied, "Tell me to come to you
on the water." "Come," He said.
Peter got down out of the boat, and walked on the water and
came toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind, he was afraid,
and beginning to sink, cried "Lord save me!"
Matthew 14:28-30
Peter took his eyes off Jesus!

WHEN YOU FEEL THE STRAIN OF THE JOURNEY

When you feel the strain of the journey
And the day is overcast.
Know the sun is still shining
And the clouds will not last.

When you feel the strain of the journey
And rocks are strewn along your path
There are ways to find peace
When on Me, your anchor's cast

When you feel the strain of the journey
Look along the way
You may find some hidden treasures
To brighten up your day.

When you feel the strain of the journey
Recall I'm with you along the way
And an awareness of My presence
Will bring joy to your grayest day.

AGE DOES NOT MATTER

Age does not matter
In the scheme of things
Life is filled with joy
And blessings that it brings.

Age does not matter
If you're young at heart
Abundant life is found in Me
From you I'll not depart.

Age does not matter
Forget all your fears
You have an inner aliveness
And are youthful, in-spite of years.

Age does not matter
Do not let life get you down
Just look to Me
Smile instead of frown.

Age does not matter
Aging is inevitable, you see
Lasting and abundant life
Is found only in Me.

Ans lead you through the day.

And Satan knocks at your door
Refuse to answer his call
Let me answer, I implore.

When your defenses are down
And you suffer pain or loss
I know just how you feel
I suffered pain on the cross!
