GOD'S GIFTS
There are treasures that money can't buy,
Like the smile on a baby's face,
A stroll through a garden of flowers,
To rest in a tranquil place.
The magic of a sudden rainbow,
Colours that never change,
The pattern created by God,
A plan, we can't re-arrange.
A meadow turned emerald green
By the touch of an April shower,
The warmth of the summer sun,
The scent of a beautiful flower.
The comfort of murmuring water
From a river sparkling with light,
The sun going down in the evening,
Making way for the stars at night.
The seasons that come and go,
Changing as God had planned,
His wondrous power we behold,
On every part of the land.
It's not the things that we buy,
That bring us the greatest pleasure,
If we look at the beauty around us,
We'll find joy in God given treasures.

WORDS
There are words in life to inspire us,
Words that bring comfort and care;
Encouraging words to a friend
When they're in the depth of despair.
There are words between two lovers
Declaring their love for each other;
But sometimes we speak harsh words
Inflicting pain on another.
Words that are chosen wisely
Which we speak in a gentle tone,
Are those that come from our heart
And with them true kindness is shown.

WHEN GOD GROWS CLOSE
In the still hours of the night
When all the world is sleeping,
Many souls are in despair,
In the darkness softly weeping.
Some are gripped by loneliness,
Missing loved ones gone,
Life doesn't seem worth living,
It's a struggle to carry on.
Others are fighting harsh pain,
Crying out for relief;
They try to keep on praying
But it's hard to hold on to belief.
Yet it's in the darkest hours
Until the morning light,
God draws close to those who suffer
In the stillness of the night.
He longs to give them comfort,
Take every pain away,
Enfolds them in His loving arms
Until the night turns into day.

Psalms 100
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands,
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations |
