Friend To All

1 Reply

I looked up at the Lord
And He saw me
He saw my pain
And misery
He brought me out
And set me free
What a Savior
What a friend

I cried unto the Lord
He heard my plea
Then He came
And rescued me
He’s always near
Where I will be
What a Savior
What a friend

Savior of the world He is
Crowned with love and righteousness
Friend to all who call His name
I will always sing His praise
 
I waited for my Lord
To strengthen me
As I lift up
My prayer of need
Until the answer
I would see
What a Savior
What a friend

Savior of the world He is
Crowned with love and righteousness
Friend to all who call His name
I will always sing His praise

Merciful to me, so merciful
Loving me despite my sins
His grace is given out
His love is without doubt
He’s always there to help me win

Savior of the world He is
Crowned with love and righteousness
Friend to all who call His name
I will always sing His praise
Friend to all who call His name
I will always sing His praise
 

Truth Revealed

It’s been a long four days
For this recent hospital stay
Pneumonia is gone
I’m going  home
I’m so thankful  to all who have prayed

Most of all I thank my Lord
He never spoke  with a slur
He said I was healed
His truth is revealed
By  the power of His Holy Word

My Payers Go Up

A faint light
Escapes from the kitchen
As I awake this morning
And my prayers go up

There are those
I know who are hurting
As I petition God for them
And my prayers go up

There are those
Who need His salvation
As I intercede for their souls
And my prayers go up

He hears my every word
From His throne on high
As in Jesus name I pray
The answer will come
In His time

I ask God
To give them strength
As they wait for relief
And my prayers go up

I ask God
To give them peace
In the midst of the battle
And my prayers go up

I ask God
To give them joy
To replace their suffering
And my prayers go up

He hears my every word
Before His throne I bow
As in Jesus name I pray
The answer will come
now, it will come now

God will see you
Through the heartache
Through the pain
Through the suffering
Through every battle
Until the answer comes
Just trust Him

I am awake
My prayers have ceased
And my praise goes up
To the God
Tho answers prayers
My praise goes up
 
For I know
That He has heard me
And the answer’s
On the way
 
I will praise Him
I will worship
I will bow
Before His throne
As my prayers go up

The Lord Knows

When you’re feeling sick
And you’re stuck in your bed
You pray but the answer is slow
You wonder if God
Has heard your request
I can honestly say the Lord knows

When trouble surrounds you
And you see no way out
You pray but the answer is slow
As the trouble gets worse
You question His love
I am confident that the Lord knows

He knows every pain, every hurt, every stain
He knows every doubt, every tear
He knows every sorrow and every heartache
He knows every doubt, every fear

Hold onto His promise
Don’t ever let go
Because no matter what comes your way
The Lord knows

When doubt settles in
And you cannot feel God
You pray but the answer is slow
Time passes by you
The days and then weeks
You wonder if God really knows

These are the times
When our faith is tested
This trial will help us to grow
We must trust in Him
And endure to the end
You can be sure the Lord knows

He knows every pain, every hurt, every stain
He knows every doubt, every tear
He knows every sorrow and every heartache
He knows every doubt, every fear

Hold onto His promise
Don’t ever let go
Because no matter what comes your way
The Lord knows

My Way Back

1 Reply

I saw the old man
walk into church that Sunday morn
His clothes were tattered
his skin was worn
I could smell the hardness of life
Three pews away
And I was ready to move
when I heard him pray

I’ve got to find my way back to you
I’ve drifted too far away
Not sure how far I’ve strayed
I’ve got to find my way back to you
Please keep shining your light
into this night
that I’m going thru
He sat alone

no one dared to come near
The music started
he bowed his head
I could see the tears
were running down his face
As we sang Amazing Grace
he looked up and prayed

Dear God
I’m not sure what I need to do
My life is such a big mess
I can’t find any rest
Dear God
please show me what I need to do
To get turned around
and be grounded in you again

I could feel the tears
start running from my eyes
And while the music played on
I moved to his side
I said friend
the Lord has heard your cry
Would you come with me right now
I will help you find your way

As the music
played just as I am
We knelt down
bowed our heads
closed our eyes
and he started to pray

Father forgive me
for the wrongs I have done
I give you my life
I’ll follow your Son
I promise my life
will be yours from now on
Dear Jesus
thank you for my friend

Then he took my hand
and gave a gentle squeeze
A smile as big as heaven
broke his weary, worn face
I know that he’d met Jesus
and I looked up in praise

Lord I thank you
for showing us the way
When we get lost on the path
you keep drawing us back
Lord I thank you
for this new-found friend
Yes he found his way back
all the way back to you

 

Precious Time

​

I’m awake

Sleep still lingers 

Eyes are opening 

Dim light

From the kitchen 

Dull illumination

Filters in

I’m awake

First things first 

Time to praise Him

The Lord of all

Kings of Kings

My Savior 

Jesus Christ 

I lift His mighty name 

And thank Him

He has been so good to me

Now prayer

Prayer for healing 

Of my friends 

They need a touch

Today 

Prayer for direction 

For finances 

For protection in Turkey 

For provision 

All for friends 

A thank you Lord

From me

I feel His hand upon me

As I write these simple words

I cannot help but wonder 

Who am I

That He would take the time

To hear my little prayer

The God of all creation 

By my side

And on this quiet morning 

While everyone’s asleep 

I pen these words before 

I rise from bed

I know the Lord goes with me

As my day will soon begin

So I roll back on my side

And rest my head

Early morning 

No one waking

Quiet fills the room

Time with God 

Precious time

Can’t wait 

‘Til it comes again

Prayer Time

I cried out to Jesus this morning
Lord please hear my humble prayer
I come to you seeking your mercy
For so many friends out there

One of my friends needs your guidance
About things going on in his life
I ask you to give this friend wisdom
To deal with this mountain of strife

Two friends need help with a new job
That came as an answer to prayers
These next few weeks they’ll be learning
Help them listen and learn as they train

I know that you hear my prayer
And I know that an answer will come
I trust in your perfect timing
I will pray they’ll have strength all along

Still others need your touch to heal them
From cancer, or aches, or disease
I ask that your mercy surround them
As I pray to you down on my knees

There’s a friend who has asked me to pray
For protection in foreign lands
I make my request to you Lord
To keep them all safe in your hands

I close out my prayer time this morning
By lifting my voice in praise
My spirit is lost in your worship
I lift up your holy name

I thank you for listening to me
And the prayers that I send your way
Take care of my friends this morning
And give them your mercy today.

God sees your aching heart
And the hurt your going through
And He becomes your peace
He comes and comforts you
 
God sees your aches and pains
And the suffering you are in
And He becomes your healer
He builds your strength within

Even though you may not see
He hears your prayer
And He’ll meet your every need

And the way you go through life
And He gives you His assurance
That things will turn out all right

And the times you all away
And He sends His grace and mercy
You can start a brand new day

He never gives up on you
Never turns away from you
Never shuts His heart to you
He always says He loves you
Always says He’ll hold you
Always says He’ll comfort you
His eyes are always on you

He hears your prayer
Even though you may not see
He hears your prayer
And He’ll meet your every need
Just have faith in His great mercy
And the answers sure to come
He hears your prayer
With His great love

A Look Behind

I cannot let a day go by
Without praising His name
And every week I take some time
To  write of His domain
Not a single month goes by
That I have not seen change
Due to prayers lifted up
In Jesus name

Then when  the years is over
I take a look behind
And see all of the blessings
That I  can surely find
The Lord has been so good to mme
So loving and so kind
And all because I spent some time
With Him

If you need a blessing
From the Lord today
Just take the time to call on Him
Take some time to pray
And if you’ll do that every day
At end of year you’ll say
The Lord has been so
Good to me
