Hope

Today could be the day,

that loved ones bow and pray,

That all who've gone astray

will find Your precious way.

Yes.

Today could be the day.

And today might bring the sound

of a trumpet all around,

As Jesus' love abounds

and He lifts us from the ground.

Yes.

Today might bring the sound.

Thank You Lord

Thank You Lord,

I can do this day,

Thank You  Lord,

I can walk and pray.

Thank You Lord,

by my side You'll stay.

Thank You Lord, 

I can take one step,

Thank You Lord,

You have paid my debt,

Thank You Lord,

You have said don't fret

Thank You Lord,

for this could be the day,

Thank You Lord,

when You take us away,

Thank You Lord,

by Your side we will stay.

At His Side

The safest place is at God's side

and there beneath His wings I hide.

The strongest place is where He keeps

His little ones, His own dear sheep.

The highest path is His sure way

so follow Him and never stray.

***

Pure Joy

Wind rages, branches whip

Cold darkness envelopes the garden

But here, black cat and I

purr and rejoice

in Your Presence.

***

Waiting

I'm waiting for Jesus,

my hope is secure:

With patience and joy,

I'll work and endure

Waiting and hoping,

expecting the Lord:

Trusting and dwelling

in His sure Word.

***

Sing!

I praise and thank Thee

for this day;

for all rich blessings

on my way.

And now I lift my voice and sing

for my dear God

can do all things.

***

Refuge

Through tumult

War

and crazy things

I nestle safe

beneath His

Wings.

Psalm 46:1-11 ESV

[1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. [2] Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, [3] though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah [4] There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. [5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. [6] The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. [7] The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah [8] Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. [9] He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. [10] “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” [11] The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
