If you want to gain
A sure sense of peace
Then don’t let tomorrow creep in
Today’s all you’ve got
So give that to God
His grace is a timely free gift
He does not give more
Than you need for today
Until the next day has come
So don’t fret or worry
And don’t be distressed
He’ll give what you need to stay calm
In response to the daily prompt Timely
He is the vine
We are the branches
I never want
To take any chances
I’ll stay connected
Through prayer and Praise
Follow His ways
And abide by His grace
In His word I will stay
For the rest of my days
No outlier here
Just living by faith
In response to the daily prompt Outlier
God’s been good to me
Always
The circumstances may look bleak
My health my not be good
My finances may struggle
But God has been good to me
Always
God’s been merciful to me
Always
He delivers me from evil
He holds me tightly in His arms
He reassures me with His peace
He has been merciful to me
Always
God’s been gracious to me
Always
He has forgiven me countless times
He has overlooked my faults
He has provided when I have failed
He has been gracious to me
Always
Even when I cannot see it
He is good
Even when I cannot understand
He is merciful
Even when I lose my way
He is gracious
Always and forever
He loves me
So when I’m down and out
When life seems upside down
When sorrow or sickness come
When darkness is in my life
I will still praise Him
I will still worship Him
I will still trust Him
Because Always and Forever
He loves me
He lived for me
Taught me His mercy
Healed the sick and mended lives
His perfect love
Showed it was enough
To defeat the devil’s wiles
When my faith is low
To His word I go
Living water He supplies
He will build me up
Fill my open cup
Overflowing grace us mine
He died for me
Crucified for me
Gave His life to set me free
Suffered through the shame
Agonized with pain
Then He hung upon that tree
He bowed His head
Quietly He said
Forgive them for what they’ve done
Passing down through time
His forgiveness mine
Laid Him in a borrowed tomb
He rose for me
Life eternally
Is now mine He paid the price
I will now abide
By His loving side
All through time His love is mine
How marvelous
How wonderful
Is my Saviors lovely name
I’ll forever raise
Up my voice in praise
His great mercy I’ll proclaim
I’m all smiles
I know my Savior loves me
I’m all smiles
I know He will take care of me
All smiles
I know that in my time of need
When fear sets in and I lose peace
He will be there to comfort me
And make me smile again
I never have to worry
For the Lord is on my side
My trust in Him survives the biggest storm
When I am in a hurry
And the answers don’t arrive
I can feel the safety of His loving arms
His promises are true
His love is everlasting
His mercy covers every time I fall
He never leaves me blue
He cheers me so I’ll sing
He turns my every sorrow to a smile
I’m all smiles
I know my Savior loves me
I’m all smiles
I know He will take care of me
All smiles
I know that in my time of need
When fear sets in and I lose peace
He will be there to comfort me
And make me smile again
In the heat of midday sun
Or the darkness of the night
He reassures me with His gentle voice
And when the day is done
I see the stars so bright
Reminding me He’s there with His grace
When my smile turns upside down
When peace just can’t be found
My life seems out of place
I cry to see His face
He comes with tender care
And pulls me from despair
I can no longer frown
My smile has turned around
I’m all smiles
I know my Savior loves me
I’m all smiles
I know He will take care of me
All smiles
I know that in my time of need
When fear sets in and I lose peace
He will be there to comfort me
And make me smile again
I need you, Lord
In the morning
When I awake
Before the sun comes up
I need you
You give me air to breath
You give the light for sight
You give the sounds of spring
As bird’s sing
I need you, Lord
I need you, Lord
I the midst of the day
When the world is all around
Trouble presents itself
Temptation lurks in corners
I need you
You light my path with your word
You remind me of your great love
You keep me safe in the storm
In your arms
I need you, Lord
I need you, Lord
At the end of the day
When sleep is knocking
My tired body needs rest
From all the day’s events
I need you
You calm my soul so I can sleep
You reassure me of your grace
You lay me down with your peace
And mercy
I need you, Lord
Not a moment goes by
A second or minute
That I do not need you, Lord
What a wonderful thing
To know you are near
Whenever I need you, Lord
I posted this poem 2 days ago, and was asked by several if there was a melody for this poem. So I worked a little on it, and this is what I cam up with. Not professional by any means, but the best can do at short notice. Please feel free to comment!
When I am down and feeling blue
I lift my eyes and look to you
Because I know you’ll see me through
Every single time
When I am sick or feeling pain
I look to you, Lord, yet again
Because I know your healing came
Every single time
Your mercy is remarkable
Your grace is ever free
I never will quite understand
The love you have for me
When I’m alone and feeling down
I look to you before I drown
Then you bring me to higher ground
Every single time
No eye can see
No tongue can tell
The greatness of your love
No one can start
To count the times
You’ve touched them from above
Your mercy is remarkable
Your grace is ever free
I never will quite understand
The love you have for me
I’m running to you Lord, running to you
This world doesn’t offer the peace that you do
When I am in trouble you always come through
That’s why I’m running to you
I’m waiting on you Lord, waiting on you
Your timing is perfect. You know what to do
My faith in your goodness will carry me through
That’s why I’m waiting on you
I can depend on your mercy
I can depend on your grace
I can depend that you’ll always do good
So I lift up my heart in praise
I’m hoping in you, Lord, hoping in you
When it comes to my future you know what I’ll do
No matter the storm you’ll carry me through
That’s why I‘m hoping in you
And when the storm clouds gather
And it seems there’s no way out
I’ll lift my hands to worship
I’ll lift my voice and shout
I know that you are with me
Through every trial and test
That’s why I’ll bring my praises
You deserve my best
I can depend on your mercy
I can depend on your grace
I can depend that you’ll always do good
So I lift up my heart in praise
The Psalmist
