+4Hopeful songs blend words of peace,
Tired hearts find rest and ease.
Snow is coming, the winter dance,
If you want a fresh start here’s your chance.
Learn to love and to forgive,
The most precious gift is the life you live.
This day comes but once a year,
Christmas with those we hold most dear.
One year closes another starts,
Time can mend all broken hearts.
Love knows no distance, knows no bounds
Let heaven’s Angels song resound.
May you be blessed with joy not sorrow.
Live each day looking to tomorrow.
You’ll want for nothing if you can see,
Christmas isn’t found under a tree.
Quite night we now remember,
What giving means in December.
Gentle Mary who smiled through tears,
Jesus was born to ease our fears.
Some may forget but I won’t ever,
Singing songs I’ve known forever.
You may not view this day the same,
Christmas is the Day my Savior came.

+6 Lord, my spirit is willing,
But my flesh is so weak;
God, every day I cry out to you,
Yet I don’t hear you speak.
I’ve been beaten so many times.
You know what I’ve been through;
I can’t overcome this giant.
Yet it’s the only thing I must do.
I fought this trial too many times.
I used all the strength in me;
Yet I lost in every battle,
And once again I’m not free.
Lord, I’m tempted to just call it quits,
And lay here on the ground;
I will let the giant win again.
I have fought too many rounds.
As I am now at my lowest,
Tears flow down my cheeks;
I cry out to God again,
“Jesus, I am just too weak!”
Suddenly I felt my body
Being lifted up by my Lord;
He helped me back on my feet,
And said, “Lets do this once more.”
I stood up to that giant,
And fought as hard as I could;
He used old tactics to make me give up.
Yet he only thought I would.
I was determined to not back down.
I had been here long enough;
It’s not the number of times I get hit.
It’s the number of times I get up.

0 I received the terrible news today
Of a disease within my bones;
God, I really need you now.
I can’t fight this on my own.
This cancer wants to kill me,
And bring my life to an end;
Jesus, why did this happen?
Is it because of my sins?
Lord, I’ve only lived to twenty.
There are things I still want to do;
So many places I want to see,
And dreams I wished to come true.
Therefore, I will meditate on thy scriptures,
And focus on the One who heals my disease;
I read about His stripes that said I am healed.
I believe in His promise to restore health unto me.
Faithfully, I shouted out His Word,
And proclaimed my healing every day;
It caused me to become stronger.
It told me to not give up or cease to pray.
Doctors said I have only two years to live,
But I refuse to believe what I heard;
Man cannot count the number of my days.
I will stand firm on the promises of God’s Word.

0 Rejection, hurt, and pain
They’ve left such a stain
You suddenly feel like you’ll never love again
You gave it your all
You tried to stand tall
But then there it was, the inevitable fall
Your heart is so torn; your mind is so worn
From the thoughts of despair that are continuously born
So many feelings of doubt you just have to shout,
“Where are you, my Lord? Please, bring me out!”
My child I am here I told you never to fear
‘Cause I’ll dry every tear
As for your hurt and your pain, your rejection stain
The feelings you have that you’ll never love again
Reveal them to Me, the One who died on Calvary
Caused the blind man to see
Cured an advanced case of leprosy
See, “when you cast all your cares upon Me”
That alone will set you free
Those feelings of hurt and pain
Are turned into victories gained
And now you’re ready to walk in the light
Although it’s still midnight
But remember, “these light afflictions are but for a moment”
It’s an opportunity for your atonement
‘Cause I already own it, your problem that is
Now your deliverance has come
Your victory’s been won
Your head is up high; your tears are all dry
Your pains and your stains can now be proclaimed
As broken bondage chains!
For I reign as the Lord God
“Thy staff and thy rod”; “Who preparest a table”
For I alone am able
To do the divine for those whom I call mine!
When I called you out of darkness
I told you, “I got this!”
So go and be free
Tell the world about me
Tell of how I brought you out and gave you a victorious shout
Now that’s somethin’ to talk about!

0 A vessel tarnished, broken, useless,
Was thrown on the trash heap one night.
And was found by the Master Potter,
Searching through the ‘rejects of life.’
When He found this dirty old vessel,
He looked at it closely, and saw
It contained an inherent beauty,
In spite of it’s obvious flaw.
He carried it back to His workshop,
His trained eye could already see,
An object of beauty and honour,
That it was intended to be.
He repaired and cleaned the old vessel.
Polished to it’s natural shine
Became once more a thing of beauty,
Was truly, ‘one of a kind.’
My life was that broken old vessel,
Battered, ruined, thrown away.
I lay there, no hope of recovery,
Till the Master found me that day.
He loved me, He cleansed me, redeemed me;
Adopted me as His own.
Gave to my life a brand new meaning,
Brought peace, where once there was none

0 Sometimes the sun shines ever so bright.
But inside there’s clouds as dark as the night.
Thank you Lord you’re my all in all.
You calm me so peacefully when there is a squall.
You wipe my tears and make it like day.
You let hope shine bright when there’s trouble at bay.
You made life in me when no one else could
You’re my rock and my stronghold where I have stood
I will stand in your gates when they open wide
Thank you Lord for being by my side.
When death finally comes and knocks on my gate
I will gladly accept I’ll no longer wait.
I’ll open my eyes and see your sweet face.
And marvel at your amazing Grace.
Down here there are those who will mourn and cry
But I cannot wait till the time goes by,
A time it may seem before you see me again,
But when I see you I’ll shout hallelujah amen!
Dear friends here on earth, please do not grieve,
Now is the time for me to Leave
It may seem sad and dreary at times
But know that the gift of life is mine
For him have I lived, and to him I will run
My time here on earth is finally done.
As I dance down those streets shining with gold
I’ll think of you God and what I’ve been told
I’ll know that my faith was the faith that was true
And I’ll know that you did what you said you’d do.
I’ll sing with the angels and dance with you Lord
For I have been saved from the fiery sword.

0 Has that trial in your life been going on so long
That everything in you screams, “This is so wrong.”
You can’t understand, it seems God is far away
As with tears you cry out to Him everyday,
If you read God’s Word His truth you will see
That He has a job for you and a job for me,
ONLY BELIEVE! is what He has to say
At His feet this problem you must lay,
In His time and in His way
An answer to your problem will be there one day,
Keep on believing, don’t lose hope
He’ll give you His grace enabling you to cope,
Keep your eyes on Him as to to Him you cleave
He has promised He will never forsake you or leave,
Give Him time to work it all out
The devil just wants you to worry and doubt,
Praising Him is one thing He’s looking for
To bless you is what He has in store,
So no matter what, even when you don’t understand
ONLY BELIEVE! that’s what moves His hand.
