~Unto Thee~

Unto Thee O lord,
do I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust in Thee:
let not mine enemies triumph over me

Psalms 25:1-2

~How He loves me~

He is jealous for me

loves like a hurricane

I am a tree

bending beneath  the weight of his wind and mercy

When all of a sudden

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affections are for me

and Oh how He loves us

 Oh

Oh  how He loves us

how He loves us Oh

~You carry me...~

Thank you Lord that you carry me...
 when I feel the road is too long and I am growing  weary...
                              *
 I love you..
 Your love strengthens me,
 and my love for You increases more and more

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

~Where faith begins~

Cast all your anxiety on Him
because He cares for you...
1 Peter 5:7

Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

~Be still, and know that I am God~

Listening.....
for that still small voice..coming from The One I never dreamed would speak to me..
Whisper ...into the very depths of my heart...
and draw me ever closer to Your heart...

~You Alone~

I lift my eyes when Im in trouble
I lift my hands, I lift my heart
There I stand knowing nothing can defeat me
just as long as I know where You are
                          *
In You alone is where I find my comfort
In You alone, You're my only hope
In You alone my heart has found a resting place
In You alone,
In You alone
                           *
So I wont fear the dark beside me
no I wont let my courage sway
For You are near, and at the brightness of Your glory
The shadows of the night melt away
                           *
In You alone is a promise I can cling to
In You alone You're my security
In You alone my soul has found a dwelling place,
Only in You alone
                           *
What can separate me from Your love?
Neither life, nor death nor anything at all
anything at all
                           *
In You alone is where I find my comfort
In You alone You're my only hope
In You alone my heart has found a resting place
Only in You alone
Only in You alone
Only in You alone...

~I'll never let go of your hand~

I know what you've been hearing

I've seen you hide your fear,

embarrassed by your weaknesses

afraid to let Me near

I wish you knew how much I long for you to understand

No matter what may happen child, I'll never let go of your hand

*

I know you've been forsaken by all you've known before

when you failed their expectations

they frowned and closed the door

but even though your heart itself should lose the will to stand

no matter what may happen child, I'll never let go of your hand

*

The life that I have given you, no one can take away

I've sealed it with My spirit, blood and Word

The everlasting Father has made His covenant with you,

and He's stronger than the world you've seen and heard

*

So dont you fear to show them all the love I have for you

I'll be with you everywhere, in everything you do,

and even if you do it wrong and miss the joy I planned,

I'll never, never let go of your hand

*

The life that I have given you

no one can take away

I've sealed it with My spirit, blood and Word

The everlasting Father has made His covenant with you,

and He's stronger than the world you've seen or heard

*

So dont you fear to show them all the love I have for you

I'll be with you everywhere, in everything you do,

And even if you do it wrong and miss the joy I planned,

I'll never, never let go of your hand,

I'll never let go of your hand

~A friend loves...~

"A friend loves at all times"

Proverbs 17:17

I have the most wonderful friend

who is like a mother to me

*

I can always share my joys, sorrows and thoughts with her

and know that she is a safe place

*

truly loving me at all times

*

she reminds me of Someone

and His name is Wonderful

*

Jesus

Thank you Lord for Adrienne and for her love & her mothers heart xo
