On The Wings Of Prayer

ON THE WINGS OF A PRAYER

Just close your eyes and open your heart,
And feel your worries and cares depart.
Just yield yourself to the Father above,
And let Him hold you secure in His love.

For life on earth grows more involved,
With endless problems that can't be solved,
But God only ask us to do our best,
Then He will take over and finish the rest.

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,
There is always one door that is open to you,
And that is the door to The House of Prayer,
And you'll find God waiting to meet you there.

And The House of Prayer is no further away,
than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray.
For the heart is a temple where God is there
As we place ourselves in His loving care.

And He hears every prayer and answers each one
When we Pray in His name - Thy will be done.
The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear
Are lifted away on the wings of a prayer.

You're Always There

YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE

As I kneel before You every day

And I offer up my prayer,

It's such a blessed comfort, Lord,

To know You're always there.

And in those times of fear and doubt,

When I feel I'm on my own,

It's such a joy to know You're there,

And that I'm really not alone.

When confusion clouds my troubled mind,

And I stumble to and fro,

I know You'll be my guiding light,

And show me the way to go.

When I feel so weak and helpless, Lord,

And discouraged in the fight,

You fill me with Your joy and strength,

And the power of Your might.

And when my heart is bleeding, Lord,

From words that cut like a knife,

You touch me and You heal me,

As I read Your words of life.

When my cares and burdens weigh me down,

And are more than I can bear,

You lift them off my shoulders, Lord,

And assure me that You care.

Yes, Lord, I know I can count on You,

As I come to You in prayer,

And I know that You will hear my cry,

For I know You're always there.

I Found God Today

I Found God Today
By LORENZO CHARLES II

I found God today through the eyes of a child.

He looked up at me and he gave me a smile.

He brought me such comfort for which I have longed.

Through the eyes of a child, I realized I belonged.

I found God today in an old woman's face.

As she held my hands, I felt God's embrace.

From problems in life, I knew I would prevail.

Which I felt through her hands so old and so frail.

I found God today in the warmth of a friend

Who has given me strength for which I can depend.

When life had me down and I felt so depressed,

I realized through my friend just how much I was blessed.

I found God today when I searched for so long

And it's now I realize, He's been there all along.

In family and friends and in all who I see.

Each day I find God and now I have found Him in me.

After The Rain

AFTER THE RAIN

Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
There will always be sunshine, after the rain.
Perhaps you may stumble, you might even fall
But God's always ready to answer your call.

He knows every heartache, sees every tear
A word from His lips can calm every fear.
Your sorrows may linger throughout the night
But suddenly vanish at dawn's early light.

The Savior is waiting somewhere above,
To give you His grace and send you His love.
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
God always sends rainbows, After the Rain.
