EXPERIENCE HIS PRESENCE

Experience His Presence
In your life today.
Experience His Presence
His will and His way.

Experience His Presence
In the pages of His Word.
Experience His Presence
Sweetest story ever heard.

Experience His Presence
When you bow to pray.
Experience His Presence
His love He will convey.

Experience His Presence
When the days are dreary.
Experience His Presence
When the nights are weary.

Experience His Presence
Tn the blackest times of life.
Experience His Presence
His LIGHT is shining bright!

WHAT IS GOD LIKE?

What is God Like?
We've not seen Him it's true
But He left His Word
For me and for you.

What Is God like?
Jesus said, you see,
"You'll see the Father
When you have seen me."

What Is God like?
He is Spirit and Power
He is all knowing-all seeing
and with us each hour.

What Is God like?
He gives GRACE that is free
He extends MERCY
To the undeserved, that is me.

What is God like?
He is the total of LOVE
And endless blessings
Showered from above.

EVERY NEED

Every need
You have, I know.
Every need
I'll supply as through life you go.

Every need
Is yours, but you must ask.
Every need
The strength for very task.

Every need
To fill your heat with peace.
Every need
All your fears release.

Every need
You have I surely see.
Every need
Fulfilled, but not each want of thee.

TRANSFORMED BY TRUTH

Transformed by truth
Of God's Word, you see
It is our compass
To guide you and me.

Transformed by truth
Of our Savior's birth
And the thirty plus years
He lived on this earth.

Transformed by truth
Of the old rugged cross
And that Jesus died
To save a world that was lost.

Transformed by truth
That He lives, God's only Son
And He be will return again
His VICTORY already won!

FINDING GOD

Finding God
In this crazy world today
Sometimes seems hard
He seems far away.

Finding God
Amidst busyness and strife
And all the confusion
That happens in life.

Finding God
When troubles abound
You can't get ahead
And you're on shaky ground.

Finding God
Stop and listen today
You will hear His soft voice
When you bow and pray!

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT

From darkness to light
On life's stormy sea
We hear the Savior call
"Come walk with Me."

From darkness to light
In the stillness of the night
Jesus calms our fears
He will make things right.

From darkness to light
When joy is swallowed by our sorrow
Know the Son still shines
On a brighter tomorrow.

For darkness to light
The bridge is the cross
Jesus brought us light
At such an awful cost!

ALL YOU NEED

All you need
In your busy day
Is to begin it
By bowing to pray.

All you need
When you feel defeat
Is to focus on Jesus
He makes you complete.

All you need
For a disappointed heart
Is a strong faith
That God gives you a new start.

All you need
At the end of the day
Is the love of Jesus
His will and His way!

MEDITATE

Meditate...
Is something we need to do
In this busy electronic world
We need to focus on God's view.

Meditate...
Take time in a busy life
To set quietly with our Lord
And He will take away all strife.

Meditate...
Is not an easy thing to do
To empty our minds of all stress
And shut the world out too.

Meditate...
Take time alone with God, you see
It will benefit the soul
And be a blessing for you and me!

LISTEN

To the Bird's sweet song
Listen...
For God's voice as you travel on.

Listen with all your heart.
Listen...
And God will not depart.

Listen...
To what the Spirit has to tell
Listen ...
Whether things are bad or well.

Listen ...
When others need to talk.
Listen...
As through life you walk.

Listen...
You will hear the Spirit sing
Listen...
To God in everything!

EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE

Emotional baggage
We do not need
It we have bitterness and regrets
On this the enemy will feed.

Emotional baggage
Hurts the heart and soul
We will not spiritually grow
And have misery untold.

Emotional baggage
Forgive self and others too
This is heart medicine
For me and for you.

Emotional baggage
We must leave in Jesus' care
For He has promised
Our burdens He will bear!

You are never alone
Though lonely you may be
You must remember
God always walks with thee.

You are never alone
If His eyes are on the sparrow
And each hair is numbered
He's with you today and tomorrow.

You are never alone
Even midst life's stormy sea
God's hand will guide you
To a place of tranquility.

You are not alone
He will see each tear
He will bring you peace
For He is always near,

A MESSAGE OF VICTORY

A message of victory
Is the story of the cross
How He bled and died
To save a world from loss.

A message of Victory
He arose from the grave, you see
And He returned to heaven
To pepare for you and me.

A message of victory
In his place God's Spirit came
To dwell within us
He knows each of us by name.

A message of victory
He will return again one day
And take us home to heaven
For an eternal stay!

Sometimes organizers of a protest, flame the anger of the protesters.

ANGER

Anger...
Can hurt your very soul
It can wreck havoc
And keep you from feeling whole.

Anger...
And bitterness will harden the heart
And it will surely keep you
For making a brand new start.

Anger...
Will rob you of all peace
It will take away all thankfulness
And blessings then will cease.

Anger...
Poured out, causes misery untold
And deprives you of good health
And will destroy your own soul!

Look to God

Disappointments...

God sees your tears
He's always there.

Disappointments...
Is a steeping stone
To success and faith
That you're not alone!

REGRETS

Regrets...
Of past mistakes of thine
You can't relive them
So it's a waste of time.

Regrets...
Make you feel unloved
It brings on anxiety
You miss blessings from above.

Regrets...
Yesterday has gone away
You cannot recall it
But you can live well today.

Regrets
Is the devil's own tool, you see
He wants you to focus on failures
Not on the victory!

Sometime we feel inadequate and alone like this tree on a wind-swept hill!

DO YOU FEEL INADEQUATE?

Do you feel inadequate?
Do you fall short in what you do?
You are not alone in this
Others feel this too.

Do you feel inadequate
When you're put to a test?
Just rely on God
He wants you to do your best.

Do you feel inadequate?
We do not operate on our power.
We need God's strength
Every day and every hour.

Do you feel inadequate?
If you do, that's alright
For God's in control of things
Just depend upon His great might!

GOD IS SOVEREIGN

God is sovereign
You have no need you see
To be fearful or worry

Don't let the world's hate get to you
God will over-see
And He knows just what to do.

Your protector is He
He will meet all your needs
He calls, "come walk with me."

God is sovereign
He has put His plans in place
So do not fret
Just see victory in life's race!

For a season, God has made the caterpillar..the reason..He's preparing it to
become a beautiful butterfly, in the same way He's preparing us.

FOR A SEASON AND A REASON

For a season and a reason
Trouble comes our way
This strengthens our faith
Helps us to face the world each day.

For a season and a reason
Christians suffer too
God molds our character
And He will see us through.

For a season and a reason
This too shall pass
If we keep in mind
On whom our anchor's cast.

For a season and a reason
God wants to draw us close, you see
He is just preparing
Us for eternity!

PEACE BEYOND CIRCUMSTANCES

Peace beyond circumstances
can be ours today
If we turn to Jesus
And let Him lead the way.

Peace beyond circumstances
Matters not what we've been told
It is still believing
That God is in control.

Peace beyond circumstances
Is finding joy in every little thing
And a deep appreciation
For the blessings that they bring.

Peace beyond circumstances
In the storms of life that pass
Is knowing full well
Just where our anchor's cast!

IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO LISTEN

It's not enough to listen
We must follow through.
It's not enough to listen
We must do what He tells us to.

It's not enough to listen
We must obey.
It's not enough to listen
We must follow Him today.

It's not enough to listen
That does not feed the poor.
It's not enough to listen
We must open up that door.

It's not enough to listen
We must put faith to deed.
It's not enough to listen
We must help those in need.
