Lord, when I don’t understand
Why things happen as they do,
Give me the peace and serenity
That come only from you.

It is no secret what God can do.
What He’s done for others, He’ll do for you.
With arms wide open, He’ll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

Imagine you and the Lord are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord’s footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace.

The Dark is kind and cozy,
The Dark is soft and deep,
The Dark will pat my pillow
And love me as I sleep.

How is it that God above
Has never gone on strike
Because he was not treated fair
In things He didn’t like.

I had walked life’s way with an easy tread,
Had followed where comfort and pleasures led,
Until one day in a quiet place
I met the Master face to face.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures, great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Here am I, O Lord, yours to command,
And all I ask…please take my hand
And lead me through the wilderness,
And make my pain a little less!
The choice is yours, as it should be.
My gift is small…It’s only me!

A Texas cowboy lay down on a barroom floor,
Having drunk so much he could drink no more;
So he fell asleep with a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on a hell-bound train.

Dear God:
Please unite the knots
that are in my mind,
my heart and my life.
Remove the nots,
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind.
