I will declare your righteousness and your salvation every day, though I do not fully understand what the outcome will be. Lord God, I will come in the power of your mighty acts, remembering your righteousness—yours alone. Psalm 71:15-16
—
Lord, in my temptations you hold me,
Thru sorrows and tears You are there.
When all of the world is against me,
I truthfully know that You care.
As each day unfolds I find trials,
And burdens to heavy to bare.
I humbly come in Your presence,
And lay them before You in prayer.
I’m nothing without You beside me,
You teach me Your words that I share.
When falling, I pray that You’ll guide me,
And I’ll shine just a little bit more.
—
Lord, each day you give life new meaning,
My old life’s a memory gone past;
My worldly possessions lose value,
Your love is all that will last.
You touch me each morning with fire,
And rivers of water run thru;
I can’t even think of tomorrow,
Without knowing that I have You.
You’ve lifted me out of dark shadows,
And endless confusion and strife;
Your mercy and grace has renewed me,
And shown me the beauty of life.
—
Lord, now has come time to witness,
And share the beauty I’ve found;
It’s happiness, free for the asking,
Where joy and blessings abound.
I’ll teach with honest persuasion,
Myself, an example of praise;
Teaching Your word and Your promise,
Your miracles, works and sound faith.
I’ll conquer if You stand beside me,
No enemy dares to cause harm;
Your children will follow in victory,
Wrapped in Your arms safe and warm.
