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
