Will You Trust Him?
Is this sufficient reason:
The One who died for you
Has lovingly ordained it
In what He’d have you do?
Are you content to follow
Because He says it’s best
Though you can’t see the outcome
And know that it’s a test?
Will you be still and trust Him
Because You know His love
And rest upon His promise
That He will lead above?
For He will bless the faithful
Who choose His perfect way
And humbly walk beside Him
In trusting love each day.

Life’s Little Signposts
The Lord can use so many things
As signposts on our way
To guide and make us more like Christ
Or catch us when we stray
We catch a glimpse of something good
From some unlikely source
Then take that vision through our lives
To guide our winding course
We overhear some chance remark
And by it see the light
In which we walk along life’s path
To make obscure things bright
We feel or see some love or care
That strangely warms the soul
Which goes with us to hold and share
And makes our life more whole
We sense a warning in the air
That stops us in our tracks
And keeps us from some foolish choice
Before it takes its tax
They seem so random, all these things
Our Father kindly sends,
But each is chosen to display
The love He freely spends
So when He sends these little helps
In any form or place
Let’s quickly let them shape our course
And thank Him for His grace

You Deserve All Praise
Lord, You alone deserve all praise
Because of who You are –
The mighty God of endless days
Exalted near and far.
Lord, You alone deserve all praise
Because of what You do –
You guide us through life’s winding maze
With mercies ever new.
Lord, You alone deserve all praise
And honor evermore –
We marvel at Your mighty ways,
Your kindness we adore.
Lord, You alone deserve all praise –
Accept the love we bring;
To You alone our song we raise
Our Maker, Savior, King.

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.

The Law of God
The law of God gives safety
With truth that’s clear and strong,
It guards the path of duty
And keeps the soul from wrong.
The law of God gives freedom
From doubt and guilt and shame,
It lights the path of blessing
With joy and mercy’s flame.
The law of God gives riches
That do not fade or rust,
It gilds the path of praises
For those who seek and trust.
The law of God gives shelter,
A shield from fear and fraud,
It shows the path of progress
And how to please my God.
The law of God gives wisdom,
It teaches me what’s right,
And paves the path of honor
With courage and delight.
The law of God is perfect
Without mistake or flaw –
Lord, help me live each moment
According to Your law.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: Psalm 19:7a
The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. Psalm 119:72
From God with Love
My Bible is a precious gift
Direct from God above
Which I can touch on earth to feel
The substance of His love.
Its pages glow with perfect light
Which guide my steps below;
Its words direct my thoughts to see
The God I want to know.
Its books reveal God’s master plan
That spans each day and year;
Its lines expose His caring love
And tell me He is near.
It is a pledge of One I love,
Of One I cannot see
That He is real and I have hope
Because the Lord knows me.
