Going On In The Lord !
Taking The Next
Step !
Help me Lord at the loss of my daughter
And of my beloved wife;
As I press on to take the next step
Please guide me each day of my life.
Please fill that emptiness that now has come
At the loss of my dear loved ones;
Please help me Lord, one day at a time
To take the next step and move on.
For by myself I could not stand my Lord,
But by Your Strength I can;
Please open my eyes to behold Your Face
And guide me by Your Hand.
Help me Lord to guide each of my children
And support them day by day;
To encourage them Lord to seek Your Face
Please touch them Lord I pray.
Please strengthen them Lord to face each day
And to know it is not in vain;
Please help them Lord to lean on you
As they grieve and suffer much pain.
And so O Lord, as we move on
Please strengthen us to stand;
And guide us Lord day by day
To never let go of Your Hand.

In The Master's Hands !
Throughout my life there are many things
That I do not understand,
But of this one thing I now am sure
I am in Yours, my Master's Hands.
As You've seen fit to break me
And again remould my life,
As You've allowed me to face each storm
You've kept me free from strife.
You've taught me Lord to lean on You
And walk with You each day,
I know for sure and have no doubt
You will never let me stray.
For Lord, You are my Good Shepherd
Who watches over me,
And guides me daily in my walk
In You I'm eternally free.
Free from the worries of this world
And of what comes tomorrow,
Free from the bondage of sin and death
Your Peace replaces all sorrow.
And now O Lord as I move on
Having taken to Yourself my wife,
Please guide me along the winding road
As I answer Your call on my life.

As You've also taken my darling daughter
A gem sent from You above,
I know for sure they are both with You
Enveloped in Your Love.
So my Lord as I take my next step
And begin a new stage in my life,
I rest in the knowledge that one
day soon
I will embrace my daughter and wife.
So that again we will be
together
Totally free from pain,
Walking beside You daily Lord
As You do for eternity rule and reign.
In the Presence of our Creator
In the Presence of our Father God,
For eternity under His watchful Eyes
Embraced in His Arms of Mercy, Grace and Love.

My Life Is Like A
Tapestry Lord !
My life is like a tapestry Lord
Being woven by Your Hands;
Often all I see are knots and loose ends
And I struggle to understand.
In Your Eyes You have a vision Lord
Of the finished work in my life;
While all I see by my own eyes
Is confusion and seeming strife.
When I look upon Your Work O Lord
I am confused by what I see;
Yet as You open my eyes by the Holy Spirit
I see what You're doing in me.
Throughout my lifetime O Lord
You give me glimpses along the way;
Of the finished work of Your Hands
You give me True Hope each day.
True Hope O Lord that comes from You
As You watch over me from above;
True Hope O Lord that grows each day
As You work in me in Your Love.

Stepping Stones
!
In my life
are many stepping stones
I must try to walk along;
While by myself Lord I am so weak
Through You I am made strong.
These stepping stones are the tests
You allow me daily to face;
And are the trials of my faith
As You carry me by Your Grace.
These stepping stones can be tiny hills
Or giant mountains too;
How we face them in our daily walk
Depends on how much we lean on You.
These stepping stones can be a barrier
Or a path that leads to You;
For when we lean on You in faith
You Lord do lead us through.
These stepping stones can be a door
By which we may enter in;
To partake of Life that is eternal
With You our Lord and King.

Here we are O Lord, now in Your Presence today
Here we stand proclaiming You as our true King,
And our Lord and Saviour in our life today
Truly Lord Jesus Christ, our eternal everything.
Here we are O Lord, now in Your Presence today
As we seek to bring glory and honour to You,
And give You thanks for all that You Lord
Jesus Christ have brought us through.
Here we are O Lord, now in Your Presence today
Standing at the crossroads we daily face,
At this point in our life as we look to You
Lord for guidance we need, everyday by Grace.
Here we are O Lord, now in Your Presence today
In awe of all that You our Lord have done,
Acknowledging that there is none like You
And we seek to like You one day become.

Waiting on You by faith each day,
Waiting on You at this time in our life
To guide us along each step of the way.
Here we are O Lord, now in Your Presence today
Seeking to do all that You require,
To serve You with all our heart and soul
As daily You take us yet higher.
Here we are O Lord, now in Your Presence today
So desiring to do what is in Your Will,
And to bring You glory and honour each day
Amidst life's deep valleys and high hills.
Here we are O Lord, now in Your Presence today
So desiring to serve You still more,
And to exalt You Name Jesus Christ in our life
Much more Lord than ever before.

As Lord By Your Grace
!
As Lord by Your Grace, life's road we embrace
While death we so often each fear,
As we come to know You in a more intimate way
We find in our journey You're ever so near.
Even at times when things seem to go very wrong
Amidst times of sadness and pain there is Hope,
Although things happen, when we're least prepared
By Your enabling we're yet able to cope.
We're able to rise up, again when we fall
We're able to amidst our weakness again stand,
We're able to move closer to winning the fight
As we take hold of Your outstretched Hand.
Your Hand of Love reaching out to mankind
Your Hand of Mercy and Your Hand Grace,
Your enabling by which we can each press on
To rise up again and so win the race.
The race in our life we must each undertake
That will ultimately bring us one day,
Into Your Presence, wearing the Victory Crown of Life
May I never lose sight of this in my journey I pray.

As A Pathway!
As a pathway through the wilderness
Is Lord You Amazing Grace,
That enables Your Life to so spring forth
Within this once desert less place.
 Having been watered by Your Living Word
And daily fed from You Lord above,
Your Life in me is now springing forth by Grace
Enveloped in Your Mercy and Love.

I Pledge My Allegiance Lord!
I pledge my allegiance to You the Lamb
I pledge my allegiance to You the Great I AM,
I pledge my allegiance to You Christ, God’s Son
As I’ve been redeemed by You, I am become.
Now a new creature, who was once lost in sin
Who now by Your Blood can so enter in,
Into fellowship with You with a deep thanksgiving
Into communion with You Lord Jesus Christ our King.
Not for a moment but for all eternity
As You have from sin and death, in Love set me free,
So that I the Redeemed may forever be with You
Bringing to You the Praise and the Glory You are due.

O But For Your Mercy Lord !
O but for Your Mercy my Christ
O but for Your Amazing Grace,
O but for how You so shed Your Blood
Out of Love for the whole human race.
O but for the very fact my Lord
That when You called unto me from above,
I heard Your Still Small Voice that day
I became enveloped in Your Love.
When I said my Lord come unto me
That Your Spirit may dwell within,
As I did in Love You so responded
You indeed did then enter in.
Bringing into my being that very day
The Seeds of Life and Everlasting Peace,
That have grown within me day by day
And I know Lord shall never cease.
As You Water and daily nurture them Lord
Through Your Living Word I feed upon,
And by Your Holy Spirit working in me
By faith in You I am made strong.

Awake, Awake, Yes Awake I Say !
Awake, awake, yes awake today I say
Awake my friend to the Truth, so that you may,
Come to know that life does not simply end
When you take your last breath, as you will my friend.
Just as I myself will too, die one day
Yet today with new boldness, now I can say,
That when this life as we know it, does come to an end
It is but a stepping stone, I know now my friend.
For on the other side is waiting, for both you and me
Our future that will last for all eternity,
Now it is up to you to believe in and receive just like me
That in the Hands of the Lord today, is our eternal destiny.
Yes in the Hands of my Lord, Jesus Christ my King
Who in His Grace and Mercy, redeemed us from all sin,
And now because of Him, I today live without any fear
Of what is beyond death, as that day draws ever near.
For I know that when I die, I shall go through the veil
Of death into new life, through my Jesus Christ Who did not
fail,
At the Cross of Calvary, to defeat both death and sin
Will you today turn to and by faith allow Him in.
Yes into your life at this present point in time today
As He’s knocking at the door of your heart I can with certainty
say
For He is waiting at the door of your heart continually,
If this is what you so want, then say this today with me:
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, my Lord and
my King today!!!
