Light for the Night
When the road becomes twisty, all foggy and black, And I look for direction like a train off its track, I don’t need a map or a compass or chart. I do need God’s Word tucked deep in my heart. It’s a lamp to my feet, so I don’t trip or fall. The light in
God’s Love Power
You can’t break the bond. Don’t even try. Nowhere on Earth or among stars in the sky, No power, no person, no peril, no pest Can pull us away from God’s love and his rest. No threat of a sword, no promise of gold, No whisper of fear from the brave or the bold, Not
Light of Life
Oh Lord, you’re my lantern, my candle, my flame. You brighten my path and you call me by name. When darkness surrounds me with fear of the night, I look up and see you—my shelter, my light. You’re smarter than sages with wisdom to spare, You whisper your truth in the stillness of prayer. You
Peace Prize
When troubles come stomping with thunder and roar, And chaos comes knocking, and pounding your door, Don’t fret, kind soul, and don’t wriggle or run. There’s peace to be found in the light of the Son. The ones who are taught by the Lord from above Get lessons in justice, correction, and love. They’r
Faith-Filled Steps
I can’t see it nor is it something to touch— But faith, don’t you know, believes just as much. It hops over logic and zooms through the air, Trusting in a promise that isn’t yet there. While eyes like to see and hands like to feel, Faith takes a step when it doesn’t look real.
From Darkness into Light
You’re chosen. You’re special. You’re part of God’s plan— Not just any creature, but of his royal clan. In a joyful parade with a heavenly call, You stand in a place that’s the best of them all. God took you from the shadows and darkness of night, And showed you the way to his marvelous
Grace-Powered Steps
I surrendered my heart to listen each day, To the whisper of God in a Spirit-led way. I chose not to chase after loud, flashy things, But to follow the call of the King of all kings. The flesh had its tantrums, its grumbles, its schemes, But the Spirit brought peace and wonderful dreams. No
Curtain Call
The room was so quiet, the lights really bright. The nurse just smiled and said, “You’re all right.” A banner was waving, no balloons on the wall. They said it was time for my Chemo Curtain Call. I blinked and nodded and didn’t want to cheer. Could this be the end? Was the finish line
Temptation Tug
Temptations will come. They’ll knock at your door. They’ll and charm you, then promise you more. They’ll dress up as fun or a shortcut to glee, But they’re nothing but trouble—as soon you will see. But don’t be alarmed. Don’t panic. Don’t hide, For God is quite faithful. He’s right by your side. You
Worn and Wobbly
My legs may get wobbly. My back may go, “Pop.” My ticker might tick … and then decide to stop. My hair can turn gray or just bid me goodbye, And wrinkles dance around the edge of my eyes. But you, dear Lord, you’re my strength all the same. When I’m out of breath, you
Morning Glory
Oh praise to our Father, our God up above, Who gave us his life in his abundant love. He saw we were lost, full of sorrow and dread, But then came the miracle. Christ rose from the dead. With mercy and kindness, he gave us his grace, A hope filled with joy that time can’t
Safe and Unshaken
When trouble comes knocking or sneaks through the door, I don’t run or hide or fall to the floor. I tell myself, “Wait. Just sit still and pray. God is my hope. He will show me the way.” He’s not just a whisper or breeze in the trees, He’s my strong Rock when I’m weak
