ANOTHER OF GOD'S GIFTS

GOD PUT A PAINT BRUSH IN MY HAND
AND BLESSED ME WITH THE NEED
I ASKED HIM NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO
I NEED YOU TO SUCCEED

SO MANY TIMES I ASK THE LORD
TO GUIDE THIS PAINTERS HAND
THAT HE SO KINDLY GAVE TO ME
THE THOUGHT THAT SURE I CAN

SO THERE I AM I PAINT AND PAINT
AND TRY AGAIN TO DO
I TRIED SO HARD TO USE THAT BRUSH
LIKE GOD WOULD WANT ME TOO

NOW I KNOW JUST WHY THE LORD
PUT THIS PAINT BRUSH IN MY HAND
MY CHURCH ASKED ME TO PAINT FOR THEM
I PRAYED GOD HELP ME IF YOU CAN

SO NOW THESE THINGS ARE HANGING THERE
TO HIS GLORY IT WILL BE
WITH MY PAINT BRUSH IN MY HAND
LET GOD GUIDE EACH THING I SEE

A Special Friend

FRIENDSHIP IS A BLESSING IT
COMES FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
NO MATTER WHAT WE THINK AT FIRST
IT WILL TURN RIGHT INTO LOVE

THE LORD GIVES EACH A CHANCE
IN LIFE
TO SHARE ONES HEART AND HAND
SO REACH RIGHT OUT AND TAKE
THEM BOTH
TO HELP YOU IF THEY CAN

REMEMBER FRIENDSHIP IS ONLY TRUE
IF YOU CARE AND SHARE EACH DAY
TRUE LOVE IS WHAT JESUS GAVE
LET ME KNEEL WITH YOU
AND PRAY

I FEEL THE SADNESS IN YOUR HEART
SO REACH OUT AND KNOW I CARE
REMEMBERING WHAT JESUS DID
MY FRIENDSHIP IS ALWAYS THERE
