As You Lord Take Me Through !

As You take me through each valley Lord, when I'm overcome by fear;
Help me Lord to never forget, that You are forever near.
As You take me through each valley Lord, when I am faced with choice;
Please guide me Lord in what I choose and help me to know Your Voice.
As You take me through each valley Lord, when darkness overwhelms me;
Please help me Lord to trust in You and make me able to see.
As You take me through each valley Lord, to confront the storm and tempest;
Please help me Lord to cease from striving, for in You do I find true rest.
As You take me through each valley Lord, when darkness is all around;
Please open mine ears to hear Your Voice, to be comforted by Your Sound.
The sound O Lord of Your Gentle Voice, that speaks to me along the way;
For Lord You've sent the Holy Spirit, to guide me day by day.

Release !

You are the God of Comfort Lord, You are the God of Peace,
I thank You how as I lean on You, You do bring release.
Release from the fears of the unknown, of what now lies before,
Help me Lord to lean on You, now and forever more.
Please guide me Lord in all I do and in all that I do say,
To show compassion on those in need, please guide me Lord I pray.
Make me ever sensitive Lord, to share with others, Your Love,
As an expression of Your Mercy and Grace, that comes from You above.
Make me a witness of how You've cared and how You've set me free,
Make me a vessel through whom You can flow, from here to eternity.
Now my Lord I do so thank You, for Your Love for me,
I thank You that by Your Amazing Grace, forevermore You have set me free.

Nothing Ever Happens By Chance !

Lord nothing ever happens by chance, our lives are in Your Hands,
Your desire is that we turn to You, in obedience to Your command.
You've travelled before us along the road, that we are now on each day,
You've gone before us to mark the path, to light up and prepare the way.
You've always stayed close by to us, to guide us if we were to stray,
To encourage us again to turn to You, if we turned and went our own way.
We are not forced to do as You Will, for You gave us the freedom of choice,
To turn from You and do our own thing, or respond to Your Beckoning Voice.
And so O Lord as You speak to us, please help us to hear Your Voice,
That we O Lord may respond to You, as You guide us to make the right choice.
Lord only You know, what lies ahead and what we tomorrow must face,
We thank You Lord that we will cope, as You uphold us by Your Grace.

Christ At The Helm !

In life we are each like a small boat, sailing upon the vast sea,
At times our journey is so rough, at others as calm as can be.
As we sail on through the troubled waters, where we are tossed to and fro,
Lord You are in control at the helm, to steer us where we should go.
You steer us into sheltered waters, safe from storm and strife,
You're the Captain of our Salvation and the Navigator of our life.
At times we are down in the hollow, overwhelmed by the waves around,
But Lord You are in control all the time, as You steer us to safer ground.
At times we are riding on the crest of the wave, where we find our true safety,
Safe from the dangers all around, soaring high upon the sea.
You see the dangers that lie ahead, as we journey along the way,
You steer us into safe waters and in Love guide us day by day.

Life's Daily Journey !

As I set out on each journey and think of where I'm going to,
I recall how in life's daily walk, Lord I am guided by You.
As I think about the route to take, a safe way to travel via,
I recall how Lord You shape my life's path, that will take me ever higher.
As I think of those that have no goal, a place to journey to,
They are lost and have no hope, for Lord they don't know You.
For in You life has a purpose and will have for eternity,
Talking and walking daily with You, Your Peace sets us all free.
Free from the fear of the unknown, the worries of what may come tomorrow,
Free from the power of the sting of death, able to face all pain and sorrow.
I no longer journey on without Hope, being close to You always,
Knowing Lord as I journey with You, You guide my steps each day.
Steps that will lead to eternal life, for all who trust in You,
As You take me through life's journey, You Lord will guide me through.

Life's Many Ups and Downs !

Life has many ups and downs, at times things are hard to face,
But You dear Lord are ever close by, to uphold me by Your Grace.
Life at times is like a wilderness place, where I so struggle to cope,
For You dear Lord are ever close by, You daily give me Hope.
Life at times seems so confusing, by things I see each day,
For You dear Lord are ever close by, to lead me along the way.
Life at times seems so lonely, O Lord why must this be,
For You dear Lord are ever close by, to daily comfort me.

Life O Lord is never ending, yes, it shall never cease,
For You dear Lord are ever close by, to bring me Eternal Peace.
Life O Lord has an ongoing purpose, in all You take me through,
For You dear Lord are ever close by, to guide me as I lean on You.
Life O Lord has many plateaus, as I grow to ascend unto You,
For You dear Lord are ever close by, to refresh me as I rest in You.
Life can be a time full of sorrow and often with much despair,
If we forget Lord, You are ever close by and that You are everywhere.

Life can be a time full of great Joy, a Joy only You can bring,
As You dear Lord are ever close by, You are my Saviour and King.
Life O Lord is a time of learning and of great expectancy,
As You dear Lord are ever close by, great treasures You share with me.
Yes great treasures from Your Word, that You reveal to me everyday
Through Your Word as I feed from it and so allow You to have Your Way,
As the Shepherd of my soul, Who watches over and daily keeps me
Safe and secure in Your Arms of Love, of Grace and of Mercy.

Your Word Is a Lamp !

Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet, that Lord, lights up my pathway,
And helps me to see where I am going, as You walk with me each day.
Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet, that makes my pathway so clear,
When darkness and confusion surrounds me, as You Lord are ever so near.
Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet and is Jesus Christ my daily guide,
And brings great comfort day by day, as close by You do abide.
Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet, amidst all I come to face,
And brings me True Hope when all other hope is gone, as You uphold me by Your Grace .
Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet, that encourages me day by day,
When I feel down and so discouraged, You bring me hope along the way.
Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet, that teaches me each day,
All I need to know and do my Lord, each step along the way.
Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet, that shall burn and never cease,
As it daily lights up my pathway continually and brings me Everlasting Peace.

Know this my friend Jesus is now knocking
At the door of your heart today,
It is by no accident that you are here
He is just waiting for you to now say.

That you want Him to become Lord of your life
As your Saviour Who died for your sin,
That you want Him to from this day forth
Be to you both your Lord and your King.

Will you now welcome Jesus into your life
Will you now open the door of you heart today?
He is waiting for you to now take your first step
If you want to then with me my friend 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 !!!

Thankyou my Jesus, Thankyou for becoming My Saviour, My Lord and My King today !!!
