If You’ve Lost Sight of Heaven
If you’ve lost sight of heaven
And all its glories bright,
The prize that crowns the faithful
Who reach that land of light,
If you’ve lost sight of Jesus
And all His love for you,
His death and resurrection
With grace that’s always new,
If you’ve lost sight of living
A godly life that’s pure,
That shines for Christ our Savior
Whose Word is true and sure,
If you’ve lost sight of trusting
God’s wise and loving hand,
And resting in His promise
Of all that He has planned,
Then stop and look to Jesus,
Dig deeper in His Word,
And get around believers
Who live the things they’ve heard.
Rekindle through repentance
The Spirit’s mighty flame,
Remember all God’s blessings
And praise His holy Name.
The more you love and seek Him
And live for things above,
The more You’ll know His presence
And find His joy and love.

A Stone of Purest White
Revelation 2:17
I’ll stand before God’s holy throne
And meet my Judge someday;
I have no fear because in Christ
I know just what He’ll say.
He’ll give a stone of purest white
Which He has promised me;
It shows the verdict – innocent –
And serves as heaven’s key.
And in that stone a precious name,
For I will be His own;
The Lord will claim me on that day
I stand before His throne.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Revelation 2:17
Correct, Counsel, Comfort
Dear Holy Spirit, use Your Word
To guide and guard my way
So I remember what I’ve heard
And live it day by day.
Correct my thoughts and plans, I pray,
To seek what’s good and true;
Reveal my sin so when I stray
I might return to You.
Please counsel me to know the way
That I should choose, O Lord,
That I might please You every day
And gain faith’s true reward.
Bring comfort sweet and dry my tears,
Lord, help me trust Your love,
That I might see past pain and fears
To heaven’s home above.

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26
Now I See Him
I knew God through the time I spent
In Scripture and in prayer,
I heard Him in the still small voice
That showed His tender care.
I saw Him in His mighty works
And little blessings too,
The things He sent to show His love
And prove His Word was true.
But now I see Him with my eyes
And truly hear His voice,
I know Him as He knew me then –
It makes my heart rejoice!
The things I prayed for those I love
I’ve asked Him face to face,
And He’s assured me He will work
With strong and loving grace.
He’s just the same as what He said
So, trust in Him today –
Proclaim His love, believe His Word,
And seek Him as you pray.

That Spot He’s Made for Me
I still don’t know what place for me
The Lord has made above
Or what He wants to do through me
In tender grace and love
But this I know – He has a plan
A place for me to fill
And He’s preparing me today
According to His will
So I will yield with eager heart
To all that He ordains
Because I trust His plan for me
Though rarely He explains
For by His grace I want to be
Just what He hoped and planned
To fill the spot He’s made for me
In heaven’s happy land

True Hope
True hope is found in Jesus Christ
And in His endless love,
It is the anchor of my soul
Secured by God above.
True hope is having peace with God
Since Jesus died for me,
It’s knowing He’s forgiven me
And made me new and free.
True hope is trusting Him each day
Because I know He’s near
To guide my footsteps and to bless
So I don’t need to fear.
True hope is looking for the Lord
To take me home at last
Where I will see Him face to face
When sin and pain are past.
True hope is knowing Jesus Christ
And trusting Him each day
Because His Word is always true
And guides me all the way.
