In Your Storm
John 6:16-21
Neath the clouds of tears and heartbreak,
When the tempter will not leave,
When the past has come to taunt you,
Or there’s pain you can’t relieve,
In your storm the Lord is walking –
When you see Him do not fear;
“It is I, don’t be afrighted.”
Pluck up hope, the Lord is near!
He won’t come as you expected,
But He’ll be there just the same;
In the storm be still and trust Him
As you call on Jesus’ Name.

“But He saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.” John 6:20
Ask, Seek, Knock
Do you have a need or want?
Come and ask the Lord;
You will find that you receive
Plentiful reward.
Do you need God’s guidance here?
Seek His perfect will;
You will find He guides you right
If you’ll follow still.
Do you long for fellowship?
Knock upon the door;
Christ Himself will open it –
“Welcome evermore.”

At Rest in Christ
At rest in Christ – a precious place
Where heart and soul are still
To feel His presence, know His love,
And find His perfect will.
At rest in Christ – where strivings cease
And busy pressures pause
To hear His promise, find His strength,
And grasp His worthy cause.
At rest in Christ – where I am free
From storm and sin and strife
To tune my heart, to catch His joy,
To find the source of life.
At rest in Christ – Lord, help me reach
This secret place of rest
Where I am one with You and find
The path that You have blessed.

Rooted in Christ
Like trees so deeply rooted
That though life’s storms may blow
They stand through all securely,
We must take root to grow.
We must abide in Jesus
Through fellowship and prayer
So we can know the blessings
He daily wants to share.
We must be well established
On Jesus day by day –
His strength and truth our anchor,
His Word our hope and stay.
We must find satisfaction
In Jesus Christ alone –
Delighting in His presence
And all the love He’s shown.
Then storms of life can shake us
But we will stand secure,
For when we’re firmly rooted
In Christ we will endure.

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him: Rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7
God didn’t say we’d understand
Each thing that He allows,
Or that we’d always see His hand
And know the why’s and how’s.
But He has said He’s always near
And that He’ll bring us through,
That He will catch each falling tear
And strengthen and renew.
And He has said He’ll turn to good
The things His children face;
Since Jesus in temptation stood
He gives sufficient grace.
So when we cannot understand
The troubles of today,
We simply need to trust His hand
And He will make a way.

The Lord Is at Your Side
Throughout life’s winding pathway,
Wherever you may go,
The Lord Himself will guide you
In ways which He will show.
He’ll walk each step beside you
And bear you in His arms,
He’ll guard you and protect you
From all of life’s alarms.
Each day will bring new blessings
With tests He’ll bring you through
To show His care and mercy
With love so deep and true.
He knows your name and loves you,
He is your truest Friend;
And soon He will reward you
With life that cannot end.
So love the Lord completely,
Believe His Word and pray,
And keep your eyes on Jesus
Who’ll keep you day by day.
Today and in the future
I pray He’ll bless and guide,
And help you sense each moment
That He is by your side.
