Just Before The Dawn

Leave a reply 
Just before the dawn

All is quiet and calm

I sit and think 

About the things

That God has done for me



He has saved me from the depths of sin

Given me new life within

Washed my sins as white as snow

Buried my shame below

Sanctified me, made me whole

Oh what an awesome God I serve



Just before the dawn

Before my clocks alarms

I can't believe

The strength I feel

Knowing God is here



He holds me in His loving arms

Keeps me safe from all concerns

Gives me health when my strength wanes

Never leaves me with my pains

Hears my every thought and prayer

Oh what an awesome God I serve



Just before the dawn

I sit here and I yawn

I know He's here

He hears my prayer

And answers every time

Oh what an awesome God I serve

I Exalt You, Lord

I exalt you, Lord.

I lift up your name with my whole heart.

I honor you with my first words every morning

And until my last breath at night.

You watch over me from on high.

You keep me safe in times of trouble.

You provide my every need.

You bring me help when I am weak

And strength when I am weak.

I look to your word to guide m

And I trust your Holy Spirit to show me which way to turn. 

He keeps me safe from all harm.

Thank you, Lord for looking over me.

Thank you, Lord for looking over my family.

Thank you, Lord for looking over my grandchildren.

Thank you, Lord for abundant blessings and friends.

May I continually lift your name on high

And make my presence known to those around me.

May I never be shy or bashful about my faith.

I exalt you, Lord.

I Can Trust in Him

The goodness of the Lord

Is watching over me

Keeping me from harm

Holding back the enemy

He holds me in His arms

And always holds me close

I know I can trust in Him



The mercy of the Lord

It covers all my sins

It cleanses my iniquities

And makes me whole within

His mercy overwhelms me

Each time I go astray

I know I can trust in Him



The grace of the Lord

Is what I love the most

He gives me all His treasures

And He never lets me go

I bask amid His riches

As they are so freely mine

I know I can trust in Him

May Yours be Mine

May Yours Be Mine

Lord, Today
May your thoughts be my thoughts
May your ways be my ways
May your hopes be my hopes
May your dreams be my dreams
May your words be my words
May your faith be my faith
May your patience be my patience
May your love be my love
May your compassion be my compassion
May your desire be my desire
May your joy be my joy
May your peace be my peace
May your righteousness be my righteousness
May your faithfulness be my faithfulness
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
Hallelujah!

Shine On

Leave a reply 
When your troubles get the best of you

And you're feeling so alone

Shine on!



When the day starts out in misery

And clouds obscure the sun

Shine on!



If you cannot see tomorrow

If your yesterday was sad

Pick your chin up off your chest

And Shine on



If the darkness overtakes you

And the outlook seems too bad

Leave all bad things in the past

And shine on!



Shine on in the darkness

Sine on in the light

Shine on when the enemy

Seems strong in the fight

Shine on through the storm

Shine on through the night



Shine on even when you think

Your smaller than your plight

You have the light within you

For all the world to see

Let it shine like the candle

On the hill so all can see.



Shine on through the battle

Shine on to lead the way

Shine on so others know that God

Is in their life to stay

And when others see your light

Give the glory all to God

So that others turn to Jesus

And now they can Shine on!

King of Kings and Lord of Lords

Who stands beside me each day I'm alive

Who makes me smile and gives me life

Who stirs the wind and brings a sunrise

Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords



Who holds my hand in the midst of a storm

Who walks beside me and keeps my heart warm

Who comes to comfort when I am alone

Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords



Who has my back when trouble comes 'round

Who keeps me safe when I'm out of town

Who Knows my past and still calls me His own

Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords



He comforts me, He keeps me

He loves me, He guides me

He leads me, He teaches me

He talks with me and walks with me

Jesus King of Kings, and Lord of Lords



He's not some monarch far away

He walks with me each and every day

He Hears every word when I take time to pray

He's Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords



I will lift up my voice to praise Him today

And my life I owe Him every day

For He saved my soul and showed me the way

He is Jesus King of Kings and Lord of Lords

If I Should Lose My Wife Today

If I should lose my wife today

My life would be in disarray

I don’t know what I’d do instead

If God should take her home



She’s more than just a wife to me

More than friend or family

She’s heaven sent from God to me

Beside her I belong



Her smile is what I’d long to see

Her loss would leave a vacancy

My heart would suffer desperately

Without her by my side



Her laugh, her look, her favorite show

Would daily in my memory grow

Until the tears began to flow

Because she’s not here to share



I‘d miss the way she played those keys

I’d miss the way she’d scowl at me

I’d miss her most amid the pleas

Of grandkids wondering why



She has more friends than I can count

Her laugh fills up a room, no doubt

Her life was always all about

How she could lend a hand



If God should take my wife today

I’d bow my head and say a prayer

Help me be strong and peaceful stay

‘Til you should call me home.

It’s Time to Give Thanks

Leave a reply 
It's time to give thanks for all He has done

For the air that we breath

For the sun that gives us light by day

And the moon that shines at night

For the starry host that twinkles in the night sky

It's time to give thanks

It’s time to give thanks for all He has done

For the birds that welcome the sunrise

And the coyotes who welcome the moonshine

For the majestic eagle that soars high above

And the majesty of the dolphin as he breaks the water.

It's time to give thanks

It's time to give thanks for all He has done

For the abilities that he has given to me

To see, hear, smell, taste and touch

To have fingers to feel and legs to walk

And lungs that can take in breath, a heart that pumps

It's time to give thanks

It's time to give thanks for all He has done

For the family he has put into my life

And the friends that He's brought my way

For the work He has placed me in

And for the food He puts on my table

It's time to give thanks

It's time to give thanks for all He has done

He has given us His only Son

Who died on a tree to set us free

Who rose again to give life eternally

All II must do is accept and believe

It's time to give thanks

If you have not made Him Lord today

Just bow your head and these words pray

Father I've sinned and don't deserve grace

I know that Jesus died in my place

I know that you've covered me with your grace

So please forgive my many sins

And bring me peace and joy within.

Lord, I ask you into my heart.

Take my life and make it yours.,

If you prayed this prayer today

Rejoice, rejoice in Jesus name.

You've been set free, your heaven bound

Now go and find a church in town

And get involved and learn of Him

And give Him thanks for all He's done.

I trust in you Lord

When my day seems long and weary

I trust in you Lord

When the sky is gray and dreary

I trust in you Lord

When I start to doubt and worry

When I'm feeling sad and sorry

I trust in you



I hope in you Lord

When here seems to be no hope

I hope in you Lord

When I don't think I can cope

I hope in you Lord

When all others leave my dry

And I can't help but wonder why

I hope in you



I rest in you Lord

When I'm in the midst of battle

I rest in you Lord

When I feeling truly rattled

I rest in you Lord

When I'm feeling lost and lonely

And I can't see past today

I rest in you
