Lie Down and Sleep

 

Lord, I lay down each night to sleep

And trust my world to You.

You’ve kept me safe for all these years

And always seen me through.

I don’t think I could sleep at night

If You were not nearby

And I was not tucked safely in

Beneath Your loving eye.

But You are here and I can sleep,

I’m safe within Your care,

And, Lord, I thank You with full heart

For always being there.

Psalm 4:8

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Choose Well

 

Mark well the path you choose to walk

For there is much at stake.

Do not discard the sacrifice

That was made for your sake.

Do not abuse the blood He shed

To save you from your sin

By choosing to turn back to walk

In that sin once again.

Don’t let this world draw you back in

When He has called your name.

Where evil seeks to turn your heart

Deny the lie its claim.

Mark well the path you choose to walk

Follow where He has led,

The world may offer you detours,

Stay close to Him instead.

Matthew 7:13-14

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

His Justice

 

We give great weight to our demands,

And rage to no avail.

For it is not the plans of man,

But God’s, which will prevail.

It is not man whose word is law,

Nor will it ever be,

And man cannot dictate the truth

That rules eternity.

Though we may rage like wind tossed waves

Upon a battered shore

It is God’s justice that will flow,

And His Word will restore.

Amos 5:24

But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
