I Give You Praise 

by Pete, posted in Poetry, Praise

I give you praise for you are holy

I give you praise you are Devine

I give you praise from deep within me

I give you praise for you are mine

I give you praise my words exalt you

I give you praise for all your ways

I give you praise your plans are perfect

I give you praise you count my days

And when the sun is set 

And the day is done

I lift my eyes to you

I know I’ll overcome

Through any trial

Or storm that gathers

I lift my praise 

You see me through

I give you praise in every season

I give you praise in every storm

I give you praise when life’s a struggle

I give you praise and you bring calm

All my days I lift my voice

In praise to you dear Lord 

All my days you are the one

I worship and adore 

And when the sun is set 

And the day is done

I lift my eyes to you

I know I’ll overcome

Through any trial

Or storm that gathers

I lift my praise 

You see me through

I give you praise

Surviving The Tempest

by Pete, posted in Poetry

I’ll weather the storm
Because you own the weather
You send the wind and the rain
So when dark clouds roll
And life seems too dreary
I’ll know you control the day

I’ll survive the tempest
For you own the sea
The wind and waves obey
So when I’m adrift
And I think I might drown
I’ll know you will guide my way

There’s nothing can come my way
That you do not rule the day
I trust you alone
Through all of life’s storms
I know you will guide my way

I’ll get through this trial
For you are my guide
You urge me to keep going on
So when hard times come
And I’m ready to quit
I know that you’ve just begun

There’s no situation
No storm and no sea
That can ever topple this ship
For you hold me up
When I think I’ll fall
I daily depend on your grip

There’s nothing can come my way
That you do not rule the day
I trust you alone
Through all of life’s storms
I know you will guide my way

I See The Lighthouse

by Pete, posted in Poetry

I’ve been wand’ring in this ship of mine for many years
I’ve been tossed from stormy sea to stormy sea
I cannot seem to find safe harbor anywhere
There is no rest for wicked men like me

The fog comes rolling in so thick I cannot see the bow
And I hear the splashing of the billowed waves
I know the land is close and I fear a crash ahead
When a light breaks through to guide me safe

I see the lighthouse
Standing tall and strong
Guiding me to safety from the storm
I see the lighthouse
The light shines on me
Now I’m safe into the harbors arms

In life we have these stormy days come all too much
We wonder if we’re strong enough to bear
By ourselves it seems we struggle from one day to the next
Often we’re not getting anywhere

When the storms of life surround you. there’s a lighthouse here for you
That shines a light to guide you on your way
His name is Jesus Christ, He died to give you life
And to help you through your struggles everyday

He is the lighthouse
Always there for you
Ask Him now to shine His light on you
He is the lighthouse
He will save your soul
His arms will be safe harbor just for you
