He Will Never Fail - Re-Posted

Where ever life may carry me,

However far from shore,
There is no place that I can go
That God’s not been before.
 
Whenever I feel lost at sea,
Sinking beneath each wave,
With my compass firmly on Him
I’m not too lost to save.
 
So I will set sail in the storm
And dance before the gale,
For God will always be my guide
And He will never fail.
 
Psalm 139:9-10
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

Renewed In You - Re-Posted

When I get weary of the world

With all is pain and grief
You offer me a glimpse of joy,
A comforting relief.
 
Tonight it was a swallow’s song.
Each cheery little tweet
Restored the joy that I had lost,
And made my evening sweet.
 
I know the world is still out there,
Filled with fear and travail,
But in that moment peace and hope
Proved that they would prevail.
 
Tomorrow I will rise again,
Face life and carry on,
But I will hold that one moment

Until my pain is gone. 

In God's Time - Re-Posted

It bides its time and slowly grows,

Some things cannot be rushed,
It has the patience that it takes
And faith that can’t be crushed.

For all that happens at God’s pace
Works only for our good,
And God gives each of us the time
To turn out like we should. 

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Honey and a Song - Re-Posted

I’m Singing as I work today.

It may seem odd to do,
Yet somehow all that cheery noise
Helps me to work on through.
I guess that’s why the busy bee
Hums as he works along,
For nothing makes the work day sweet
Like honey and a song!  
 
Ecclesiastes 3:22
So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

Reflections That Linger - Re-Posted

All the things we do in life

Will linger well beyond today,
Reflecting back in other hearts
Like morning clouds across the bay.
 
Though we may think we’ve left behind
Something done long ago,
That reflection may still linger,
As sorrow that will grow and grow.
 
So let the light that you now cast
Across the lives you touch each day
Be a light that, should it linger,
Brings joy to those touched on its way.

His Children - Re-Posted

Family isn’t always easy,

There’s many tales to tell;
Some of them bring us together,
While others don’t go well.
 
But, after all is said and done,
We’re family through and through,
So, though I might be mad today,
You know I still love you.
 
And that is how God sees us all,
We can do foolish things,
But He has seen it and forgives

With healing that love brings.

For we are each precious to Him,

His children, through and through.
Whether or not we deserve it,
God’s love is always true.
 
Jeremiah 23:24
Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.

I Lift My Eyes To You - Re-Posted

However high in life I climb,

I still look up to see
That I have much farther to go
To be who I should be.  
 
You walked the path before us, Lord,
You laid it, plain and true,

And yet I often go astray

When I should follow You.

 
So any time I feel too proud
Of all I think I’ve done,
I look to You and realize
That I have just begun. 

Psalm 123:1

I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
