Be Still

listen to the


Be Still, and Know that I Am God,
My Father said to Me,
And I will fill you with My Peace,
And set your Spirit Free.

You are my Own; I've Chosen You:
You are Precious in My Sight.
Give Me your Heart; I Promise You
I'll be Your Guiding Light.

My Love for you will Never Fade
By your side I'll Always Stay.
My Joy will be your Strength and
Shield, If you'll let Me have My Way.

I'm Standing here with Arms Outstretched
I want to Touch and make You Whole.
Of My Living Waters, Come and Drink,
And I will Quench your Thirsty Soul.

Peace! Be Still! I am with You now,
And no-one could Love You More.
My Love for you will never Die
Of that You can be sure.

That's what my Father said to Me
And I know His Words are true.
I know that He has Set me Free
And He'll do the Same for You.

So just Reach Out, ask Him to Forgive
And Pardon all your Sin.
Ask Him to be your God and King
And He will take You In.

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!"  
Psalms 46:10 NKJV



Silent

listen to the MP3 recording of "Silent":

I did not argue with the man,
   It seemed a waste of words.
He gave to chance the wondrous plan
   That gave sweet song to birds.

He gave to force the wisdom wise
   That shaped the honeybee,
And made the useful butterflies
   So beautiful to see.

And as we walked 'neath splendid trees
   Which cast a friendly shade,
He said: "Such miracles as these
   By accident were made."

Too well I know what accident
   And chance and force disclose
To think blind fury could invent
   The beauty of a rose.

I let him talk and answered not.
   I merely thought it odd
That he could view a garden plot
   And not believe in God.
-Edgar Guest-





You Ask Why I Follow This Jesus?

listen to the MP3 recording of "You Ask Why I Follow This Jesus?":


You ask why I follow this Jesus?
Why I love Him the way I do?
When the world's turned away from His teachings
And the people who serve Him are few.

It's not the rewards I'm after
Or gifts that I hope to receive
It's the Presence that calls for commitment
It's the Spirit I trust and believe.

The Lord doesn't shelter His faithful
Or spare them all suffering and pain,
Like everyone else I have burdens,
And walk through my share of rain.

Yet He gives me a plan and a purpose,
And that joy only Christians have known,
I never know what comes tomorrow,
But I do know I'm never alone.

It's the love always there when you need it;
It's the words that redeem and inspire,
It's the longing to ever be with Him
That burns in my heart like a fire.

So you ask why I love my Lord Jesus?
Well, friend, that's so easy to see,
But the one thing that fills me with wonder is
Why Jesus loves someone like me.

Whatever your cross

listen to the MP3 recording of "Whatever your cross":


Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain ....
Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God's always ready,
To answer your call ...
He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear ...
Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn's early light ...
The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love ..
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
"God always sends rainbows ....
after the rain
