COMFORT
When troubles all surround you
and you feel all alone
Remember in His loving care
your heart still has a home
For though the things that happen
may make you feel so blue
They may be just a little part
of His great plan for you
And through all days of darkness
You know that He is there
To comfort and to light your way
for He will always care
So look towards the future
and face it not with fear,
but with the strength of knowing
that His love is ever near
When troubles all surround you
and you feel all alone
Remember in His loving care
your heart still has a home
For though the things that happen
may make you feel so blue
They may be just a little part
of His great plan for you
And through all days of darkness
You know that He is there
To comfort and to light your way
for He will always care
So look towards the future
and face it not with fear,
but with the strength of knowing
that His love is ever near

FEAR NOT
If your dear heart is filled with fear
By daytime or by night
Remember He is always near
To bring eternal light
He’ll soothe your sorrows,
ease your pain
Sweet comfort bring your way
Until your heart can smile again
To face another day
So put your trust in His dear care
And He will see you through
For all His love is always there
For ever, just for you
If your dear heart is filled with fear
By daytime or by night
Remember He is always near
To bring eternal light
He’ll soothe your sorrows,
ease your pain
Sweet comfort bring your way
Until your heart can smile again
To face another day
So put your trust in His dear care
And He will see you through
For all His love is always there
For ever, just for you
++++++
DON’T WORRY
Don’t fret and don’t worry
Or start hatching plans
Just place all your troubles
In God’s precious hands
He sees what you’re wanting
He knows what you need
So give Him your burden
And you will be freed

LET GO
Let go of the things
that hurt you
And make you
feel so sad
Let go of the thoughts
from ages past
That still make
you feel bad
Let go of the
daily anguish
And find
the better way
Let go and let God
take your burden
And bring you
peace each day
++++++
JESUS LOVES YOU
Jesus loves you, this you know
Because the Bible tells us so
He shares your sorrows, knows your fear
In everything He is always near
Just call on Him when you’re in need
He’ll lift you up in thought and deed
You are His child, He loves you so
But you must also let Him know
That you love Him and trust Him too
Then there is nothing He can’t do
So lift your heart to God above
And He will fill you with His love
++++++
I wrote this for my stepdaughter Lynne, a lovely girl
NO MATTER WHAT
No matter what your past has been
The future is still bright
Though dark the days and nights before
There is a saving light
Your Father loves you as you are
Though sinner you may be
He waits for you with outstretched arms
To save and set you free
It’s not too late to ask His help
And His forgiveness too
Just open up your heart to Him
And He will come to you
++++++
A BLESSING
May God bless you
on your travels
May He always
watch over you
May His loving hand
guide and protect you
In everything
you do
Vaya con Dios!
May God bless you

Another one I wrote for Lynne
ONE WHO CARES
There is One who loves you more than all others,
more than your family and more than all lovers
more than your family and more than all lovers
One who’ll be faithful and never let you down,
who’ll be by your side when you smile or you frown
who’ll be by your side when you smile or you frown
He’s with you every minute, leading the way,
through dark lonely nights and through each waking day
through dark lonely nights and through each waking day
He loves you so much and He shares in your pain,
He wants you to smile and be happy again
He wants you to smile and be happy again
He’ll guide and protect you and He’ll always care,
so reach out your hand now and you’ll find Him there
so reach out your hand now and you’ll find Him there
++++++
HE LOVES YOU
When you’re unhappy, lonely or sad
Don’t let negatives make you feel bad
There is only one thing you should do
Call out to God for He loves YOU too
++++++
YOU NEED JESUS BECAUSE
You can’t go back and change the things
that brought grief to your heart
but He can wash away your past
and give you a new start
He knows your worst but sees your best
because He is your friend
He sees you as you will become
– with Him – until the end
He holds your life within His Hands,
your future He can see
Please pray this prayer from the heart
and be safe for eternity
“Lord Jesus, I invite you into my life.
I believe you died for me and
that your blood pays for my sins
and provides me with the gift of eternal life.
By faith I receive that gift
and I acknowledge You as my Lord and Saviour.
Amen”.

BE FREE
Don’t nurture your guilt
Don’t hang on to your sin
Jesus died to free you
Let Him come in
Don’t think you don’t need Him
Don’t think you’re OK
Your good deeds won’t save you
He is the way
Don’t listen to science
“We evolved from the mud”
God created the world
And saw it was good
For you are His child
And your Father is He
Acknowledge Him now
And for ever be free
++++++
SAVING
I used to save up for a rainy day
Any spare cash and I’d stash it away
I’d look at my balance and watch it grow
But what it was for, I just didn’t know
Then I met Jesus, He showed me the way
To claim all His promises day by day
To trust in the Word that He’s given me
“All that you need will be given to thee”
“He cares for the sparrows and lilies too
so how much more does He care for you”
Now my best account is with God above
And my interest is in His priceless love
++++++
LEARNING
It’s not for me to know the way
But just to follow day by day
The Lord shall lead me where He will
And I in faith will follow still

In my morning prayer one day, this is what came to me
MY VISION
Jesus stood before me
I wept at His feet
I saw the marks in His hands
He said
“I died for you.
Do you think I would let you go?
Do you think I would not let you fulfil your destiny?
Trust me, have patience
Wait on Me”
++++++
++++++
I wrote this for someone many miles away, persecuted for his faith
THOUGH DARK THE NIGHT
Though dark is the night
You must never give in
And hard be the fight
You know you will win
Just stand firm and true
And let God take your hand
Then the future for you
Will be as He planned
++++++
TRUST IN JESUS
When you trust in Jesus
there’s always a light
To give you hope
through the darkest night
And whatever the devil
can throw at you
Your faith in Jesus
will see you through
++++++
NEVER FEAR
Never fear,
never doubt
Perfect love
casts fear out
++++++
FIGHT ON
When things go bad
and the future’s grim
Remember this –
don’t let the devil win
Put on a smile
like you just don’t care
And arm yourself
with another prayer
If the devil’s putting
up a fight
Then you must be doing
something right!
Just keep doing God’s
work, as before
And you’ll be the victor
– that’s for sure
When things go bad

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU’RE A CHRISTIAN?
First of all you must believe that Jesus died for YOU
Accept the Lord into your life and make a vow that´s true
Then God adopts you as His child and guides you all your days
Just listen to your inner voice to hear the things He says
He doesn´t promise perfect life where everything is right
But you will know an inner peace that gives eternal light
You´ll want to live the way God says, the Bible shows the way
That´s kind and loving, always helping others every day
And through the trials of earthly life you know that you will be
One day in heaven, happy always, blessed eternally
******
MY CHILD, MY FRIEND
I know that you´re hurting and want to know why
If God really loves you, why do your loved ones die?
You feel really angry and just want to say
Why do you give them, then take them away?
Why do you punish me time after time
Why is there no-one here I can call mine
But pause for a moment and feel all the love
That God is sending you now from above
He shares in your sorrow, He weeps when you cry
He wants you to understand some of the ‘why’
You have to remember that God set us free
He can´t just step in and change what must be
But whatever may happen He always is there
He won´t let you carry more than you can bear
He says “Dearest child, don´t be angry with me”
“Forgive me and love me, and set yourself free”
I´ve always been waiting – my arms open wide
Please come to me now, dearest child,
Step inside
******
