Thank you for your blessings!

Thank you, Dearest LORD of my life,
For all the blessings you bestow
Upon this humble, trusting child!

I am forever grateful as I know
How precious, true and bright
Is my future by your side!

Every step I take I love you more,
My Hope, my Strength and my Delight
Because to YOU I feel so close!!!

L.A.K.M.

He shines through!

I am but a pilgrim here on Earth
Where Jesus is my guide!
His WORD, my daily bread,
Shines through, forever bright!

So soft His healing touch,
His gentle words so kind!
They comfort and sustain,
Bringing truth and hope, new life!

L.A.K.M.

Be brave!

Don't you yet understand?
Don't you know by now that the everlasting God,
The creator of the farthest parts of the Earth,
Never grows faint or weary?
He gives power to the tired and worn out,
And strength to the weak.

Fear not,
For I am with you.
Do not be dismayed.
I am your God.
I will strengthen you;
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.

Though once you were very far away from God,
Now you have been brought very near Him
Because of what Christ has done for you...

Don't be impatient.
Wait for the LORD,
And He will come and save you!
Be brave, stout-hearted and courageous.

Singing in the night

Lord of my life,
may your will be done
all over this land.

As your chosen bride
to you, my Beloved, I come
and by you, faithfully stand.

You are my Delight
my portion and my Love
who holds me by the hand.

You have shone your light
'till all my hurts dissolve
in warmth and healing balm.

I am singing in the night
my prayer, my thanks, my song
your truth is all I want!

May all your tomorrows be bathed in this LOVE!

Can your heart be so grateful it almost breaks?
Can you feel so much love it makes you cry?
Will we ever comprehend God's unconditional love?

Has He taken you over mountains high,
taught you where the heart draws nigh?
Can Heaven be so deep as His presence with us?














Can His hug reach to the sky and back?
There is no rift too wide,
no oceans too vast
to stop Him
because the LORD is there
and always will be
as far as a simple prayer!

May all your tomorrows be bathed in this love!
May He fill your heart

and help you become

all that you were meant to be

in His eternal plan!
Be blessed in this hope!

Where joy and sorrow meet!

Were I to plan my daily life
And fill each hour as I would ask
And feel no check, no hindering strife,
My only work a pleasing task...

Could I but fly from flower to flower
And drink the sweet as doth the bee,
Know only joy, no painful hour
How good would seem my life to me.

Yet would not I be satisfied
My yearning soul would not be blest
I´d be but dead, had I not cried,
For heavenly peace, for heaven´s own rest.

Oh, not for me an earthly peace
Nor yet for me this worlds renown.
No warrior sunk in worldly case
Could ever win a conqueror´s crown.

For tears, are but the heavenly dew
Which fall where joy and sorrow meet,
Tears which royal David knew
And Mary wept at Jesus feet.

Oh, link me with creations groan.
Thus shall I feel the strengthening power,
Which holds me when I feel alone,
And soothes me in my saddest hour.

So thus, I lift mine eyes above
And ask no surcease from my pain
All sorrow has been given in love
All earthly loss is heavenly gain.

Hymn of Promise

In the bulb there is a flower,
In the seed, an apple tree.
In cocoons, a hidden promise;
Butterflies will soon be free;
In the cold and snow of winter

There is a spring that waits to be,
Unrevealed until its season 
Something God alone can see.

There’s a song in every silence
Seeking word and melody,
There’s a dawn in every darkness
Bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
What it holds a mystery,
Unrevealed until its season
Something God alone can see.

In our end is our beginning;
In our time infinity;
In our doubt there is believing;
In our life eternity.
In our death a resurrection;
At last the victory,
Unrevealed until its season
Something God alone can see.
