Next To Me


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The day has been difficult, Lord,
But so have other days,
And I have managed to survive.
For that I give You praise.
 
I can’t know what tomorrow holds,
But I know this for sure,
Whatever it brings You’ll be there
To help me to endure.
 
Some days it’s not about the win,
But walking faithfully
Through whatever the day might bring,
And living gratefully.
 
I get that wrong, all too often,
But I’m learning to see
The ups and downs distress me less
When You are next to me.
 
Psalm 73:28
But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

Stand Strong


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I wonder if I’ll ever know
The way to stand in faith.
I seem to fall back into doubt
Each time I face the wraith
 
Of all that might go wrong each day
Or where I might fail You.
When I should be standing in faith
That You will lead me through.
 
I find myself weak in the knees,
When I should stand up strong.
I’ve never faced a single storm
When You were not along.
 
Lord, help me to stand up in faith,
Be strong and walk on through.
Remind me that I’m not alone,
I’m standing next to You.
 
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

Your Living Water


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Wash through me with living water,
Lord, let the river flow.
Fill me with faith enough to share
The truth I’ve come to know.
 
You’re the Water that gives me strength,
That helps my faith to grow,
Until that reservoir of Life
Begins to overflow.
 
Then let it rush out into those
Whose faith is running low.
Wash us with Your living water,
Lord, let the river flow.
 
John 7:38
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’
