Help Me O Lord !
Help me O Lord, this day I pray
As I think upon my bed,
To not be discouraged nor live in fear
Of that which now lies ahead.
Help me O Lord, to not feel lonely
And to lean on You in prayer,
To not feel Lord, that I have been deserted
But to know that You are there.
Help me O Lord, to never lose sight
Of Your great plan for me,
As I commit my life into Your Hands
Help me each day to feel free.
Ever free Lord from the fears of the unknown
And able to rest in You,
Never to feel that I am alone
For You Lord are always there too.
For Lord I desire to walk in Your steps
And never to go astray,
Please grant me wisdom in all I do
For Your strength I now do pray.

My Lord !
My Lord You reached down to me
And called me to follow You,
To walk each day with You close by
You helped me to see each day through.
My Lord You reached down to me
When I had fallen so low,
You lifted me up in Your Mercy
And showed me which way to go.
My Lord You reached down to me
When I strayed away from You,
You reached down to me in Love
And drew me ever close to You.
My Lord You reached down to me
When I was feeble and weak,
You strengthened me by Your Grace
I feel so humble and meek.
My Lord You reached down to me
And covered me under Your Wings,
You gave me Hope of life after death
You defeated death's paralysing sting.
My Lord You reached down to me
And embraced me in Your Love,
A Love O Lord that is eternal
That comes from You above.
So Lord I want to thank You
That You reached down to me,
No longer am I bound by fears
But am now eternally free.
Yes no longer without any hope
For Lord my hope is in You today,
My Hope of Everlasting Life
With my sins now washed away.

To Hear Is Not
Enough !
To hear from You Lord is not enough
If we fail to respond to You,
For only as we move by faith can You use us
To do what You'd have us to do.
To hear from You Lord is not enough
If we fail to respond to Your Voice,
And not move by faith and trust in You
Each time we're faced with choice.
To hear from You Lord is not enough
We must hear and also do,
All that You so require of us Lord
That we may daily be used by You.
To share with others all You've blessed us with
And out of Love with them too,
For to talk of You Lord, alone is not enough
I believe to truly serve You.
Not only must we daily talk of You Lord
But be willing to help others in need,
Out of Love and Compassion that comes from You
Lord, in both word and deed.

While You May
Be Wondering !!!
While you may be at this time wondering
What has brought you to this very place today,
Be assure my friend it is not by accident
It is in order that my Lord Jesus Christ may.
Speak into you Words of encouragement through me
Speak into your life, true words of hope too,
Speak into your life, a measure of His Love
As you read these words, here before you.
At the prompting of the Holy Spirit
Who is using me to encourage you today,
To ask my Lord Jesus Christ into your life
If you so want Him to come in, then with me say.
I confess I am a
sinner Jesus, yes today it is true
There is no other way to salvation, other than the Cross through
You
I confess I am a sinner my Jesus, forgive me of my sin I pray
I claim my salvation by Your Blood and now unto You I say.
Please come into my life Jesus, to become my Lord
Please come into my life today, Christ to be my King,
Please come into my life today, for I am a sinner indeed
And only You can set me free, forevermore from my sin.
By the Power of Your Blood, You shed for me in Love
Upon the Cross of Calvary, where You bore my sin one day
Please come into my life to fill up the emptiness within
Yes please come into my life now, so that I may, I pray.
Begin my new life in You my Lord, as a child of God today
Washed clean by Your Blood, from the power of all sin,
A new life in You, forevermore My Lord Jesus Christ
From now on and forever, as a child of the King. AMEN !!!
Thank You my Jesus, Thank You for becoming My Saviour, Lord and
King !!!
