Making My Way

"Who then is that faithful and wise steward whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give  them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is the servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing." Luke 12:42, 43

When the eyes of my heart
can no longer see
this purpose of life imposed upon me;
I simply look up, I trust Your ways
God of my youth, of infinite days.
Help me to know there
will be a time
when meat in due season
will be mine.
Not for myself
may it never be;
just for You, Lord
only for Your glory.

Come What May

"So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid." Hebrews 13:6

When trials surround you and all hope seems but lost
Dig your heels deep and cling to the Cross.
People will strive to tear you away.
Still, let your cry be, "I'll cling come what may!"
While Satan taunts constantly, bravely you fight;
You see Christ's victory in spiritual sight.
When others fail to see the truth in what you know,
The hours of life are hard and slow;
Believe in your heart Christ will show you the way
For a crown of gold to replace the splinters of today.

I Will Help You

"For I am the LORD, your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."  Isaiah 41:13

Oh Lord, You are my Helper
There is no one but Thee;
For when my soul is troubled
You come to comfort me.
You are the Great Provider
I have nothing to fear.
When many trials surround me
Your tender voice I hear:
"I will care and comfort you
believe and do not frown.
Those who completely trust Me
will someday wear a crown.
You must have strength to believe
it is your call to do.
In sorrow's darkest night
I'll always care for you."
