LOVING GOD
My child I want to let you know
You need not wonder to and fro
I walk beside you every day
I am your protector in every way.
The Love I have for you can not be measured.
With me beside you, you need not fear.
I am your God, I am always near.
With warm compassion and extended Grace
I wipe the tears from your gentle face.
Worry adds nothing to your life.
It brings only needless pain and strife.
My Son died so you may live.
This eternally life is my gift to give.
Take heart my child, do not frown
For I have placed upon your head
My Golden Crown.
No matter where you go, I will be.
This I promise for all eternity.

KNOW I AM HEALING
I come to heal the broken hearted,
Those who cry many tears.
Tears of grief, tears of fears,
Tears of joy, tears of relief.
I come to dry your tear washed cheek.
With words of comfort I come to speak.
Look not to the left, look not to the right.
Look only to me both day and night.
Dear cherished child, I give you peace.
I am your God. Your pain will cease.
Each minute, each hour, each and every day.
Through my love, healing comes your way.
Memories live on within your heart and mind.
And through it all, I am with you all the time.
Please know my Dear, please know.
From your side I will never go.
The healing continues both day and night.
I Am the healer, I AM the Light.

JESUS UNDERSTANDS
Jesus understands. He knows what you’re going through.
Jesus understands. That’s why He wants to talk with you.
He sees your struggles. He sees your heart.
He knows there are things tearing you apart.
Jesus understands. He’s been through a lot too.
There was once a hard time but He went through it for you.
The cross, the nails, the twine, the piercing, that was a hard time.
Many people came against Him and He wasn’t guilty of any crime.
Jesus understands. He was shunned and rejected by His own.
However, He remained true to His conviction, His Love was shown.
You wish you could run. You wish it would all be gone. You want to curl up and hide.
Jesus understands. He wanted the cup removed. He chose tho’, to walk by your side.
Jesus is able to help you. There are so many things He went through.
Ridiculed for the friends He kept. People thinking He was out of His mind.
Still, He endured, He hung onto His Father’s words and He was kind.
Do you remember the time He said . . . . . And you came through it.
What about the time when . . . . . . And the answer was exactly the right fit.
You grew stronger in faith with each passing event. In this one you will too.
Jesus understands exactly what you’re going through.
Without hesitation He is there for you.
He’ll provide the means. He’ll provide the stamina. The courage too.
Jesus understand and that’s why He says, "I want to help. I want to Talk with you."

Soldiers Of the Cross Prepare for Battle

SOLDIERS STAND YOUR GROUND
Come Soldiers stand your ground.
The enemy encamps us all around.
Pick up your weapons, draw your sword.
Let not the enemy devour . . .
Soldiers, this now is the hour.
We must protect the lame, the blind.
We must sever the ties that bind . . .
. . . them to the enemy.
Come Soldiers stand with me.
Speak out with words so true
We are many, they are so few.
Have no fear of battle. We are equipped to fight.
Soldiers of the Cross stand guard . . .
Be ready both day and night.
Soldiers of the Most High, do not ask why.
Take courage, let the battle ensue.
The Lord Jesus waits to persue.
He'll cut them down, they'll be no more.
With Him at the lead, we are free indeed.
The enemy has been sent where they belong.
Never more will they do wrong.
This is 'Our' year of Jubilee.
Oh Soldiers of the Cross, let's celebrate the Victory.
Let's rejoice, let's be glad, the enemy has been had.

Your Ship Has Come In
Your ship has come in, look no more to your sorrow.
I have wiped away the lean years and filled future days
With rich wholesome marrow.
Now is the time for your deepest desire, to be plucked out
From between the hurtful muck and mire.
I planted seeds in the far reaches of your of your heart.
Now is the time Child to bring them up from the dark.
I’m cultivating the soil, of your Spirit my dearest Child
Now is the time to rejoice aloud.
This is not the time to remain meek and mild.
Your ship has come in, look no more to your sorrow
I’ve already filled your future days with rich, wholesome marrow.

A SPECIAL CHILD
As I sit staring at my door
I wonder if I could have done more.
I wanted to help change another’s life.
Help wipe away pain, hurt and strife.
I wanted to bring laughter to someone’s heart.
It was for them I wanted to be a part.
A part of the joy, a part of the living,
A part of what it means to really be giving.
I wanted to assist with their special need.
And get my eyes off personal greed.
I wanted to help someone less fortunate than I.
I wanted to wipe away a tear from a little girl’s eye.
I did all these things one by one.
Until each and every battle was won.
It was wonderful to see the development of a young boy,
When I knew, I helped coax him into pushing a toy.
A warm feeling I felt at the end of day,
I helped a special child in a special way.
To all of you who are lonely, bored and blue
There is a special child waiting for you.

| Mountains, BE GONE |

MOUNTAIN, BE GONE
When your self-sufficiency abates
And you’ve nowhere else to go.
Seek the Lord. He graciously awaits.
You’ll soon find your obstacle a no-show.
Stand up to the mountain. Speak it away.
Come against that mountain, stand firm every day.
Resist the enemy and he must run.
Speak God’s Word, observe how things are done.
Stand up for truth, stand strong, stand tall.
Watch that mountain crumble and fall.
The battle is God’s and His alone.
Integrity, honesty, truth is shown.
The heart is subdued, the mind is clear
You need no longer live in fear.
When you’ve done all you can . . . STAND
VICTORY is yours through sound command.
