My Friend I Say, Just Trust Him !

My friend I say just trust Him, trust Him to help you cope
For Jesus Christ who is Lord, is our only True Hope,
My friend I say just trust Him, no matter how things may seem
Even when all you feel you can do, is let out a mighty scream.

My friend I say just trust Him, trust Jesus to be your light
As you put your trust in Him each day, He will guide you day and night,
My friend I say just trust Him, to meet your every need
For only you and He know them, He will be your friend indeed.

My friend I say just trust Him, to walk each day with you
As you go through this valley now, trust Him, He will carry you,
My friend I say just trust Him, as you struggle to climb the hill
In time things will become clearer, as you learn to know His will.

My friend I say just trust Him, as you battle to bear the strain
As you put your trust in Him, He will help you bear the pain,
My friend I say just trust Him, and reach out to Jesus today
Lay before Him your every need, and lean on Him each day.

My friend I say just trust Him, even when the way seems hard,
Trust Him no matter what, to be your front and rear guard,
My friend I say just trust Him, even when it is hard to smile,
For in His Love He will help you, to walk your life's next mile.

And while at times we struggle to cope, and fail to understand
My friend I say just trust Him, and never let go of His Hand,
No matter how hard the road may seem, or where it is taking you too
My friend I say just trust Him and believe He will daily help you.

Lord You Heal !

Lord You heal the hurts that come
Lord You heal the pain,
In our lives in our daily walk
When at times we feel under strain.
Lord You heal the hurts that come
When relationships face many trials,
As we commit them by faith unto You Lord
Together we can walk each mile.
Lord You heal the hurts that come
As together we take a stand,
To work towards a closer relationship
As You guide us on by Your Hand.
Lord You heal the hurts that come
In relationships as we grow,
In life's both good and bad times
As each other we come to know.
Lord You heal the hurts that come
In life amidst all that we face,
As we commit our relationships to You each day
Upheld by Your Mercy and Grace.

When At Times O Lord !

When at times O Lord the valleys so deep
And darkness is on every side,
Our only way for us to come through
Is to in You O Lord so abide.
When at times O Lord the valleys so deep
And we struggle to find our way,
As we look to You O Lord by faith
Are we able to rise up each day.
When at times O Lord the valleys been deep
And I've wept amidst what I did face,
Out of that weeping there came forth a joy
As You upheld me in Love by Your Grace.

When Faced With Tragedy !

When faced with tragedy in your life
You can do one of two things,
Be overwhelmed in the depths of despair
Or rise up and press on once again.
When faced with tragedy in your life
And at times overwhelmed by grief,
You can attempt to face it alone
Or turn to God for relief.
When faced with tragedy in your life
As happened to me eighteen months ago,
When I lost my beloved wife and daughter
God stood close by me I know.
When faced with tragedy in my life
And enduring the suffering I did face,
I thank God for standing by me in Love
To uphold me each day by His Grace.
When faced with tragedy in your life
God will help You to rise up again,
Out of the valley of the depth of despair
As to turn to Him amidst the pain.

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.

Not Overcome !

Overwhelmed but not overcome
Thanks my Lord to You,
Who in hearing my hearts deep cry
So has brought me through.

Broken in pieces but not destroyed
You took me into Your Hand,
Piece by piece You renewed me
Enabling me to again stand.

By the Hand of the Master Craftsman
Which Lord indeed You are,
I can now face life as You're with me
Close by, yes never afar.

To be my strength when I'm too weak
To be my hope each day,
To be my all my everything
Each step along life's way.

I now my Lord for all You've done
And have promised You will do,
For all You do for me each day
Give my deep thanks to You.
