THIS LONELY ROAD

Powered by Podbean.com

 

AS I WALKED DOWN OUR LONELY ROAD
I’M .ALONE IT SEEMED TO ME
THE BIRDS WERE SINGING ALL AROUND
I THOUGHT HOW BEAUTIFUL THINGS CAN BE

THE TREES WERE SWAYING IN THE BREEZE
I THOUGHT THAT WILL COOL THIS DAY
AS I WALKED ON AND ON MY LONELY ROAD
I THOUGHT THIS HAS TO BE GOD’S WAY

SOMETIMES I DIDN’T KNOW WHY I CAME
WHY THE LORD PLACED ME RIGHT HERE
THEN I THINK WHAT A BLESSING IT IS
TO HAVE GOD’S NATURE BE SO NEAR

SO I THANK THE LORD WHEN I TAKE
THIS WALK
DOWN THIS LONELY ROAD AGAIN
FOR ALL THE THINGS I SEE AND DO
FOR THE PEACE I HAVE WITH IN

IRISH BLESSING

DID YOU EVER THINK OF
AN IRISH BLESSING
WHAT THAT WOULD REALLY BE
THE LORD KNEW I NEEDED ONE
SO HE SENT THIS ONE TO ME

THIS IRISH BLESSING IS THERE
FOR ME
WHEN EVER I NEED A SMILE
IT DOESN’T MATTER FAR OR NEAR
THE LORD DOESN’T LOOK AT MILES

SO IF YOU ARE SAD OR LONELY
AND NEED SOMETHING TO HELP
YOU THROUGH
ASK THE LORD TO GIVE YOU
AN IRISH BLESSING JUST LIKE YOU

BY AUNT JOSIE

DID YOU EVER WONDER

DID YOU EVER WONDER
HOW THINGS WOULD REALLY BE
IF NO ONE KNEW OUR LORD AND
OUR EYES WOULD NEVER SEE

THE BEAUTY ON THIS EARTH HE MADE
AND ALL THE THINGS WITH IN
HOW SAD MY LIFE WOULD REALLY BE
WITH JUST A WORLD OF SIN

WITH ONLY SINFUL WAYS TO SEE
NO PRAYER TO HELP US THROUGH
MY LIFE WOULD BE JUST SUCH A WASTE
WITH NO LOVE FOR ME AND YOU

HE LOVED EACH ONE OF US SO MUCH
HE GAVE ALL HE HAD TO GIVE
BUT NO ONE CARED JUST WHAT HE GAVE
SO SIN IS HOW WE LIVED

GOD KNEW WE WOULD NOT SHARE HIS HEAVEN
A SAVIOR WAS OUR GREATEST NEED
SO HE GAVE WITH LOVE HIS ONLY SON
SO OUR SOULS WOULD THEN BE FREED

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND THINK
JUST WHAT THIS WORLD WOULD BE
IF ALL OUR LIFE WE DID NOT KNOW
GODS LOVE FOR YOU AND ME

THE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT

 

They call them children of the night
They have no place to go
I pray to you my LORD to help
These wondering children know

No one seems to care for them
So love is just not there
I know you love each child on earth
Please show them how you care

Let them feel you in there hearts
Let their troubles fade away
They are too young to feel the pain
This world gives them each day

The devil is out to get them
Their hearts turned hard I know
I pray for each to know this devil
Is there and won’t let go

Only you my LORD can help them now
Let them know love and not just hate
Show them how the devil tries
To make hell their final fate

They call them children of the night
As they wonder here and there
That’s why I pray to help them
There are still some of us who care

FORGIVE ME FATHER

FORGIVE ME FATHER FOR I HAVE SINNED
ON THIS DAY YOU GRACIOUSLY GAVE
I SINNED AGAIN AS A SINNER I AM
I KNOW THROUGH YOUR SON I AM SAVED

SO MANY TIMES I ASK YOU TO GUIDE ME
I NEED GUIDANCE EACH DAY I BEGIN
I ALSO KNOW I MUST HELP MYSELF
AND NOT LET THE DEVIL COME IN

EACH ONE OF US NEED OUR DEAR SAVIOR
AS WE WALK IN THIS WORLD OF SIN
JUST HOLD ON TIGHT LORD TO MY HEART
AGAINST THE DEVIL I WILL SURELY WIN

HEAVEN IS WHERE I WILL SEE YOU LORD
AND JUDGE ME YOU WILL CERTAINLY DO
YOUR BODY AND BLOOD WAS SHED FOR ALL
I KNOW HEAVENS DOOR I’LL WALK THROUGH

LET ME FEEL THE WONDERFUL LOVE
YOU GIVE TO ME DAY AFTER DAY
PLEASE GUIDE MY WORDS AND ACTIONS
THEN HAPPILY I’LL BE ON MY WAY

ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS

 

When I am alone and think of the past
I think all the things I did wrong
When I didn’t trust the lord to do
everything that has come and gone

I was weak with my trust and thought
I could do
The things now I know where the lords
I remember the worry when sickness
Was there
I knew sickness we could not afford

Now I look back to all of those days
and know my lord had it planned
the time that I spent worrying each day
was like putting my head in the sand

I have learned through the years
to trust in lord and not the things
I can do
I ‘m thankful for GIVING ME ALL OF THESE YEARS
TO SHARE CHRISTIAN FRIENDSHIP WITH YOU
