A Psalm of Praise (2)
The Lord is my shelter from the storm,
He keeps me safe in His Arms of love.
I can be free from all my fears,
Knowing He is very near.
I could not count all the blessings He gives,
there are so many, so I just thank Him
and praise His Name.
He is so wonderful and there is not enough
words to express.
The joy that I feel and the
peace that He gives.
There is no one else who deserves such praise,
For He is my Rock,
my fortress and friend,
my deliverer and healer,
the One whom I love.
My salvation and shelter,
the Light of the world,
my hope for tomorrow,
and so much more.
In Him all things hold together
and without Him I would be lost
He deserves all the praise,
my maker and creator,
to Him I give all praise.
He never changes,
He is the same,
yesterday, today and forever.
And in my heart He be always,
praise His wonderful Name.

O Let my heart awake,
and be more in tune with You,Lord.
Let my total being be swept away by Your love.
Let my heart be in tune to hear your voice
so that I may know and understand Your word.

And swept away by Your love and grace.
O Let our hearts awake today,
cant You hear Him calling Your name.
Arise,hearken to His call.

To Be A Mom

To Be A Mom
Oh just for one moment to be a mom,
to experince the joy of a new life begun,
To hold in Your arms a miracle God gave,
to be a childs mom for just one day.
To be a mom, oh what blessings would be mine,
to fill this need in this heart of mine,
for oh how it aches to know such joy.
I can only pray that God knows my heart,
that one day He'll bring this joy into my life.
I just want to say to all you mothers everywhere,
Oh how blessed you are to have a child in your care.
Happy Mothers day, to all, and each day of the year.

through all our sorrows, all
our pain
He gives healing at the touch
of His hand,
He restores our strength,
we are whole again.
He is true, His love is unfailing,

For in my heart I know,
God cannot lie.

Each day wonderful blessings,
He brings to all who will open
their hearts to recieve,
such wonderful gifts he has for me and you.
He is true, always, to the end of time.

RAMBLING

RAMBLING
When you are running to and fro,
finding a way to make it right.
Look to theOne who can make it right,
Look to the One who lives above,
Look in your heart and You will Know,
and give it all into His hands.
He will work it out for good.
When all your dreams go up in smoke,
When your sorrows wear you down,
and your heart is broken apart,
look to the One who calmed the storm,
look to the One who died for all,
and rose to bring life for us all.
He can heal Your broken heart,
He can dry your many tears,
Look to God who sees your heart
and surrender all to Him.
When it feels like like you are standing all alone,
when you have lost it all and feel ashamed,
remember God He never changes,
He will forgive you once again,
for His love it changes never,
just abandon all that you have,
and surrender all into His hands,
He will hold you in His arms,
you never need to feel alarmed,
God has you safely in His hands,
He will always understand,
just remember who you are,
your a child of the King of Kings,
you are precious in His sight,
Our Father will always make it right,
if we surrender all to Him.
HE is the way, the Truth and Light,
and He will always lead us right,
for no one can take away,
the love He has for us each,
O what a wonderful Lord we serve,
and we do not deserve all that He has done for us,
When that day when I will see,
my Savior face to Face
I will fall down on my knees,
and thank Him for His unfailing love,
and for His grace He's given me,
I will worship and adore Him forever more,
when He takes me Home.

A Prayer

O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us;inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.

PART2 No Place to Lay My Head

PART2 No Place to Lay My Head

There is a place of quiet rest,
where my soul can be refreshed,
near to my Savior, near to the One,
who holds my heart in His hand.
So long have I searched for
some peace of mind,
what I didnt know it
was there all the time.
Now I have found a place to lay my head,
a shoulder tocry on when my heart is so sad.
For I have found a place,
I can run to,
In the shelter of His arms,
I can rest free from harm,
and under His wings I know I can rest,
for now I have found a place to lay my head.
There is a place filled with comfort and love.
It fills my soul with joy to be held in His arms.
No more does my heart fear,
for I know He is near.
His love is what I have searched for
all these years.
I just didnt realize,
it was there all the time,
I just had to reach out and find.
Now I have found a place to lay my head,
fear does not hold me anymore,
for I have found a place I can run to,
In the shelter of His arms
I can rest free from harm.
And under His wings I know I can rest,
for now I have found a place to lay my head.

No Place to Lay my Head(1)

Foxes have holes, birds of the air have nests,but the son of man has no place to lay His head.

No place to lay my head,
no place where I can rest awhile.
This weary pilgrim needs a place to call home.
A refuge from the storm.
The birds have their nest,
where they can rest.
Is there a place where I can go?
Please tell me, tell me now.
What will I do now?
With no place to lay my head.
Seems like so many years,
I have lived my life in constant fear.
Wanting to run away,
to escape the noise running through my head.
Where do I run?
Where do I hide?
From all this hurt inside.
The foxes have holes and the birds have their nest.
But where can I go to find peace and rest?
Where can I find some peace of mind?
Is there someone I can run to,
Is there someone I can tell
all my fears to?
And now what runs through my mind,
and my hearts longing to find
someone I can turn to.
So I will keep searching to find.
The foxes have holes, and the birds have their nest,
I just need a place I can call home.

Where is this road going to?

Where is this road going to?
Where is this journey leading me too?
Too many bumps in the road,
to many turns.
Where do I go from here?
Life is like a roller coaster ride,
and sometimes the journey hard
and slow and sometimes you wonder
where are you going to.
Do I keep following this narrow way,
with so many trials along the way.
Some days I just do not want to get up and go.
Everything seems like it is going all up hill.
Where do I go from here, Lord?
I just cant keep going this way,
all my dreams seemed to be left behind.
Where is this road going to?
I have to stop so many times to catch
my breath, to rest for awhile.
My heart is heavy and wondering
if this all worth the wait.
Can I continue on with so little faith?
Feels like all my hope is gone,
I need to get my strength back.
O Lord if You are listening
hear my cry.
O Lord do not tarry,
come quickly.
Your help is needed.
I cant go on this load is getting too heavy
for me to carry anymore.
Where is this road going to,
Where is this road going to?
Lord send angels to help me I pray,
please do not let me slip away.
Lord I need You help today.

I Feel I'm Supposed To Cry

I feel I'm supposed to cry,
but do not know why.
The answers will not come.
My heart is sinking low and
I feel I am about to lose control.
Where are the answers that I seek
to the questions on my mind.
I feel like time is slipping away
and I have just lost another day.
O Lord what am I do?
With this heavy heart of mine.
I feel I have somehow lost my way.
This sadness is taking control
over my mind and my soul.
Lord please help me not to stray
for I am having trouble to find my way.
Lord be my shepherd and my guide.
Take away this sadness deep inside.
For there is no where else to run,
and no place I can hide.
From the fear down deep inside.
Lord I need Your help this day
to help me find my way.
Lord please hold me close I pray,
take all my fears away.
For in Your arms is where I'll find,
rest and peace of mind.
There is nothing more I can do
but leave it up to You.

SEARCHING 2

SEARCHING

I have searched my whole life through,
I have tried to fill this space,
but with everything I tried,
it made this hole down deep inside,
deeper than it was before.
I had tried every open door,
searching for some peace to fill my life.
but it just kept getting more lonely down inside.
Now what am I supposed to do,
how can I find some worth in my life,
something to give me joy and peace of mind.
I have tried everything to bring
some happiness to this life I'm in.
Where am I to go now?
Tell me what am I supposed to do?
I would give anything,
I would do anything.
So I kept walking down lifes road,
with such a heavy load upon my back.
Still seeking for a purpose to go on,
didnt think I could go on for too much more.
As I gazed into the night,
I caught a glimpse of a light.
Shining bright in the darkest night,
as I drew closer there I saw
what I have been looking for.
There standing in the light was
man dressed in white ,
He was calling out my name,
He said child be not afraid,
then I asked Him who He was,
and these words He spoke to me.
I am Jesus, the Son of God,
I am the One you are looking for,
I gave my life for all mankind,
then I arose to bring new life.
I am the One who loves You so,
and I want to let you know,
I would do it all just for you.
So I got down on my knees,
and asked Jesus into my heart,
now I have found more than I ever dreamed,
I have new purpose and new life,
HE has filled that empty space,
He has filled my life with peace.
No longer bound by sin and strife.
Jesus He came and brought me a new life.
As I lift my heart in praise,
I want to give thanks for all He's gave,
Jesus I love You with all my heart,
and thank You for giving me a brand new life.

KEEP SEARCHING

KEEP SEARCHING
I have searched my whole life long
for that something to fill
this emptyness inside.
This worried heart could not go on
till I found the answer,
the answer is You, my Lord.
All of my life I have looked for away,
a open door, a clue to the answer
I needed in side,
so many questions arose,
where was I to go?
what was I to do?
I just kept on searching until I found,
the answer to the question I had deep inside.
untill that day I heard You knocking,
and to my surprise when I opened the door,
it was You my Lord,
It was You I was looking for.
For all of my questions became answers,
I was searching for,
No longer filled with doubt,
all my fear has been swept away.
Today I am filled with wonder and joy,
today my strength is renewed,
I have found new hope and faith,
I found the love I was longing for.
Where could I go,
and what would I do?
Without You Lord
in my life.
If I hadnt kept searching,
I know I would have gave up,
someone must have been praying,
someone must have cared enough,
to get on their knees to You.
All I can say never stop searching my friend,
and when the door of your heart is knocking,
never be afraid to open it,
someone loves you,
someone cares,
never stop searching
for you will find
the answers you need. But most
important know my friend,
you are always on God's mind.

Psalm of Praise

Psalm of Praise


Father above, there is no one like You,
Each day I wait to hear Your voice,
sometimes it is like many waters,
and sometimes it sweetly whispers to my heart.
I look to You for my daily bread,
for my soul hungers for You,
For Your sweet manna from above.
Father above,it is You I look to for my strength,
for all that this soul longs for is in You,
Sweet spirit I pray, come And fill this hunger,
this thirst in soul.
For it waits to be filled by You,
nothing else will satisfy,
Only You Lord, can bring joy to this
longing heart,
Only You, can comfort my weary soul.
Praise be to my God,
who hears my cries,
who sweeps down and brings healing
to my wounded soul.
I will praise my Lord,
each day I live, I will do my best
to bring honor and glory to Thy Name.
I wait O Lord for You,
You are my very breath,
may each step I take
drawl me closer to
Thy Precious bleeding side.
Lord let the words I speak,
be what You would have me to say,
let not my heart stray from Your word,
For it is my very life,'
and I cannot live without it.
O Lord, be exalted in my life,
be exalted all over this earth.
For Your Name is higher than any other.
All creation praises You,
with the voices You gave them,
the birds of the skies,
rippling brooks sing a special song just for Thee.
Let me O Lord sing praises to You this day,
and give thanks for all Your mighty and wonderful deeds
O how I Love You My Lord,
You are precious,

HE IS MY MIRACLE

HE IS MY MIRACLE

He is my miracle, I have been waiting for,
So long I have waited for a open door,
A chance to begin, all over again.
To see all my dreams come true at last,
He is my miracle, for no one could bring,
true love and happiness and a new song to sing.
For deep in my heart I know,
He is my miracle, Jesus my Lord.

He is my miracle at long last I see
all that I hoped for, and longed to be.
No one could bring such joy to my heart,
comfort and peace of mind.
He is the answer to every problem,
to every question I have.
He is my miracle,
in Him I'll trust and believe.

He is my miracle,
sweet salvation He brings,
with my whole heart His praises I'll sing.
He is my healer, my deliverer,
my hiding place, to Him I can run,
He is my miracle,
In Him I can trust.

He is my miracle,
nothing more could I ask for
on this journey I'm on.
to be by His side, everyday
His hand in mine,
each step of the way.
Jesus You are my miracle,
I have been waiting for.

Unspoken Prayer

Unspoken Prayer
Lord I stand here still amazed at the wonder, and beauty You create.
For Your faithfulness and unfailing love.
There is no One like You,
or will there ever be.
I lift my heart always into your care,
O how awesome You are,
O precious to me are the words you share.
Words that bring life,words that bring hope
Words that bring healing to all.
This day Lord You hold me in Your care,
and I know without saying anything,
You are there.
Always, and forever,
I can count on You,
even when my dreams are crushed,
and my heart is broken.
You keep me safe in Your secert place,
underneath the shadow of your wings.
No one understands like You do,
I will forever be grateful,
for your hand upon my life,
even now Lord I feel all is lost,
and I feel like I want to give up,
Please Lord help me this day
to hold on to You,
I would be forever grateful,
for my heart longs for You.

Lord, open my eyes and help me to see,
All the beauty and wonder for all to behold.

If Only You Could See Who I Am

O if only you could see who I am,
If only for just one moment understand,
the sorrows I feel and the dreams I have.
If only you would reach out and touch me ,
and realize who I am.
If for just a moment you would open your eyes,
and see the beauty I created,
for all mankind to see.
O if Only you could see, who I Am,
I am not just a man who lived and died,
I am Jesus that gave My life,
and rose to bring you freedom from sin .
O if only you could see who I Am,
if only you would reach out and touch
my nail scared hand.
The nails I took for all mankind,
If only you could feel the love I have for you,
and it was that love that held me to,
the cross for you.
If you would reach out and touch me,
If only you knew much I love you, child.
If only you could see who I Am,
I am Savior, I am Lord, I am Your healer,
I am faithful, ever true,
and my love for you will never die.
If only for a moment you could see who I Am.
My child, listen and understand, Be still,
and know this for sure,
I am Your God, who loves you so.
O if only you could see who I Am.

The Lord Gave Me a Dream

The Lord gave me a dream,
a beautiful dream.
He said all my mountains would be removed.
He is going to turn the impossible, into many
opportunities never thought possible.
He gave me faith to believe, in the dreams
He has put in my heart.
He gave me hope to believe,
for something better in my life.
He gave me the courage to stand,
and face the fears of the past.
Now they have all disappeared,
I am free at last.
He gave me strength,
to follow my dreams,
where ever they lead,
I will follow along,
with the Lord at my side,
I cannot go wrong.
He gave me love and helped me to forgive,
those that have hurt me, and have tried to cause harm.
The Lord gave me a dream of a ,
hope for tomorrow,
I can see His light shining brightly ahead,
I know in the future, I have nothing to dread.
For He holds my life in the palm of His hand.
He gave me joy, and a new song to sing.
I am happy and content,
just to follow my Lord.
He gave me a dream,
to share His love to the world,
and I am so happy I am part of His plan.

He is The One

He is the one who holds my hand,
he is the one who understands,
never could live without His love,
never could make it on my own,
For He is the one ,
Who holds my hand,
He is the light, in my darkest hour,
I wouldnt want to think of being alone.
Without His love, I couldnt see
He is the One who keeps me strong,
He is my life, I couldnt go on,
Without Him there by my side,
where would I run, where would I hide
For neath the shelter of His wings,
I can find rest, and peace
He is my life, He is my song,
He is my help when things go wrong.
He is the joy of all my life,
In Him I find strength when all goes wrong,
There is no other hope for all the world,
There is no other help that can be found,
For His word of salvation must be told,
to all the lost and lonely world.
He is my shelter from the storm,
His arms hold me, and keep me safe
from all that harms,
He is the One, I call upon,
when I am scared and alone,
He holds me through the stormy night,
He Dries my tears and I know, everything will turn out right.
He is One my dearest Friend,
on whom all can depend,
Without Him You will be lost.
Give Your heart to him and see,
knowing Him, will set you free.

to answer my call.
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves You.
He promised to be faithful,
and His love is true,
He is always there,
He loves me and you.

You are All I will Ever Need

Lord, another new day, O how wonderful you are to give us all to give us this day, a day You created. A fresh and new start. I just praise you and thank You dear Father in heaven. O how awesome You are in everyway. Great is Thy Faithfulness, morning by morning new mercies I see.


You are all I will ever need,
each moment each day of my life,
You pour out Your blessings,
and You always give enough.
Your goodness flows down,
like rain from above.
I am filled with such joy
and peace from above.
You are all I will ever need,
in every sorrow and trial.
With Your strong arms around me
I am filled with Your love.
In all of my joys and all
of my dreams,
You have given me Lord
from the moment I was formed,
You created me to be a child of Yours.
You are all I will ever need,
When I am sick and in pain,
You bring healing from above
and restore me again.
My words cannot express
how grateful I am,
for Your salvation and love,
and for healing my life.
Your mercy so great and
Your wonderful grace,
has set my life free.
You are all I will ever need,
and my love for You Lord is true,
and I surrender it all over to You.
I thank You Dear Father in Heaven
above, for giving me life,
and for giving Your love.
Your only Dear son, Jesus Christ
our dear Lord.

April 13-First Day

Another end to a beautiful day the Lord has made. I did well and the Lord helped me and protected me through this day. I want to say thank you Lord for being with me this day. You are truely awesome and I love you dearly.

O this is the day Lord You have made,
Such beauty for all to behold,
Bluest of skies,
with the sun shining through,
We are thankful Lord for the beauty You share,
No artist can match the wonders You share.
You give to us so much more than we can imagine,
Each day is a gift of Your wonders to behold,
From the rising of the sun,
to the end of the day,
You unfold such beauty before are eyes,
Sometimes we pass by and dont reconize,
Your life and hand in each thing You create.
You give us so much more,
so give us eyes to see,
the wonder and beauty you create for all to see.
