Stayed On God !

As our eyes are stayed on God
Amidst life's storms we face,
God's Peace will keep us through each storm
As He keeps us by His Grace.
As our eyes are stayed on God
In every circumstance each day,
I know that we are never alone
As by us He does stay.
As our eyes are stayed on God
Amidst all life’s many trials,
He will uphold us daily in Love
And help us walk each mile.
As our eyes are stayed on God
We need not ever fear,
Though many times we fall and fail
In Love He stays ever near.
To help us when we feel unable
To cope with what we face,
For in His Love and abundant Mercy
He upholds us by His Grace.

Out of Turmoil !

From all the turmoil in my life
As I yielded unto You Lord,
You made something beautiful in my life
As I abided in Your Word.
From all the turmoil in my life
As in need I cried out to You,
Those very needs You did so meet
By Grace You brought me through.
From all the turmoil in my life
As to You I've cried out for Peace,
You've touched me and brought me hope
May it grow and never cease.

                                     Lord Only You Know !

                          When will the suffering end O Lord?
                                   When will it cease to be?
                           When will all anguish be no more?
                                When will we be totally free?
                          When will the suffering end O Lord
                           When will darkness be no more?
                      When will ongoing joy be here to stay?
                        When will Peace be for evermore?
                       When will the suffering end O Lord?
                             When will it come to an end?
                              When will pain be no more?
                     Only You know, Jesus my dearest friend.

When In Deep Despair !

When in my times of deep despair
As I wondered when the pain would end,
It was then that I found my Jesus Christ
Was my dearest and closest friend.
When in my times of deep despair
And the darkness was so deep,
That I could not see very far at all
Jesus kept me in His keep.
When in my times of deep despair
As I struggled each day to cope,
I learnt as Jesus stood by me each day
He was and is my only true Hope.
When in my times of deep despair
As I battled day by day,
Jesus reached down to me in Love
And helped me along the way.
When in my times of deep despair
As I struggled each day to face,
The changes that were confronting me
Jesus so kept me by His Grace.

We Enter In !

As we each so enter in
God brings us Hope as we,
Look to Him as our Provider
As He's daily been for me.
Out of chaos He brings order
As we lean on Him each day,
To be our Guide, our daily Strength
Each step along life's way.
He provides for our every need
He is with us as we grow,
In hard times He carries us
And stands with us I know.
God takes us each day as we are
As to Him we willingly yield,
Our heart, our soul, our mind, our all
He is our strength and shield.
All that He gives to us in love
Amidst all that we face,
Is more than sufficient for each day
As we walk on upheld by His Grace.

Looking To Jesus !

Out of weeping there comes forth joy
Out of sorrow there comes a hope,
Out of hardship there comes success
As we look to Jesus to help us cope.
Out of despair there comes forth relief
Out of turmoil there comes a peace,
Out of upheaval there comes forth a rest
That through our Jesus will never cease.

If Not For Lord !

If not for the abundance of God's Mercy
If not for His Amazing Grace,
How could we each amidst our weakness
Face what we each have to face.
If not for God's Unconditional Love
If not for His ongoing Care,
How could we by our own strength
Bear what we each have to bear.
If not for the fact that He's ever with us
If not for His enabling each day,
How could we amidst our fragility
Withstand all that so comes our way.

From Beginning To End !

Your Mercies O Lord they never fade away
Your Mercies O Lord, are new everyday;
To all of creation, who exalt You as King
And in every circumstance, Lord of everything.

For You are Lord, our Lord God Most High
Who walks with us daily, ever so close by;
As our closest companion, our very dearest friend
Throughout each days journey, from beginning to end.

Thus says the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you,

O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

2 Chronicles20:16,17
