Give Me Strength Lord

Lord I’m weak and weary
I come to you for rest
I know you love me everyday
Please make my worry less

I know you suffered so for me
I know I’m weak in sin
You know what’s in my heart
With you each day I will mend

Guide me Lord when I must go
Be my strength this new day
Sometimes its hard for me to know
When my weakness gets in my way

I know you love an care for me
You are just like the ocean tide
Always there where you should be
I know you died for all mankind

Today I need your strength Lord
In body, mind and soul
Sometime this world is so busy
We don’t know which way to go

Lord I’m weak and weary
I come to you for rest
I know you love me everyday
Please make my worry less
Please make my worry less

When the LORD Talks

When the LORD Talks
If I get up in the morning
And in my heart I know
The words the LORD has put there
To the computer I must go

Sometimes the words will flow so nice
Sometimes I wait for a sign
But soon the words come in my heart
I just know they are HIS not mine

I sit down now to write these things
That I feel are there for me
Sometimes the tears will even fall
When I see the words I read

Some one will say I don’t know how
You write so many things
The LORD gives me all I need
It’s to HIM I praise and sing

HE is my LORD and SAVIOR
Let me always let HIM know
Just how I love and praise HIM
With each word please let it show

TO MY SON AND DAUGHTER

 

DID I TELL YOU I LOVE YOU TODAY
IF I DIDN’T I WANT TO RIGHT NOW
TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED BY ME
AS MUCH AS MY HEART WILL ALLOW

I KNOW AS A MOTHER I FAILED MANY TIMES
TO SEE WHAT WAS THERE FROM THE START
THE LOVE THAT YOU SHOWED ME
SO MANY TIMES
I THANK YOU TODAY FROM MY HEART

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND TO BUSY TO SEE
WHAT A BLESSING GOD GAVE
AS YOU GREW
I KNOW THAT MY LOVE FOR EACH OF YOU
IS THE ONE THING MY HEART ALWAYS KNEW

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU FOREVER
HE WILL SHOW YOU HIS LOVE EACH NEW DAY
HE BLESSED ME THE DAY YOU WERE BORN
SO TODAY WITH THESE WORDS LET ME SAY
LOVE TO YOU BOTH
AND MAY GOD GUIDE YOUR WAY

GOD’S GREATEST GIFT TO ALL
IS TO KNOW TO LOVE ONE ANOTHERLOVE MOM

JESUS LET ME UNDERSTAND

 

Jesus let me understand each
day the things i do
i want to please you everyday
but i know i don’t seem too

why do some have hearts like angels
and love like angels will
others seem to have hearts like satan
thier heart are hard and still

Jesus let me understand as each day you
guide me through
then i know the love in my heart
was placed there to serve you

Jesus let me understand the love you
have for me
when each day i don’t show my love
to all the ones i see

i praise you lord for all you gave
your life you gave for all
Jesus let me understand even though i sin
you will never let me fall

DO ANGELS CRY?

I ALWAYS WONDER IF ANGELS CRY
WHEN THINGS ARE BAD ON EARTH
I KNOW THEY LIVE IN HEAVEN ABOVE
WHERE THINGS ARE BETTER NOT WORSE

I ALWAYS WONDER IF ANGELS CRY
WHEN CHILDREN DO NOT PRAY
WHEN EVERYONE IS WAY TO BUSY
TO TEACH THEM DAY BY DAY

THIS WORLD IS GETTING WORSE EACH DAY
WE SEE THAT FROM THE SIN
WE NEVER SEE THE THINGS THAT CHANGE
WE JUST LET THE DEVIL WIN

I ALWAYS WONDER IF ANGELS CRY
WHEN JESUS LOOKS DOWN AND SEES
ALL THE LOVE HE GAVE TO US
STILL SOME JUST DON’T BELIEVE

I WONDER IF THE ANGELS CRY
WHEN THEY SEE THIS EARTH EACH DAY
THE LOVE HAS GROWN COLD AS ICE
LET FAITH SHOW US THE WAY

LORD FILL OUR HEARTS AGAIN WITH LOVE
I PRAY DON’T LET IT DIE
GIVE THE CHILDREN ANOTHER CHANCE
SO ANGELS IN HEAVEN DON’T CRY
