A FRIEND
A FRIEND WILL LEND A SHOULDER WHEN YOU NEED TO
HAVE A CRY
A FRIEND WILL OFFER COMFORT AND NEVER ASK WHY
A FRIEND WILL WALK WITH YOU ON LIFE’S DARKEST DAY
A FRIEND WILL BE PRESENT WHEN OTHERS TURN AWAY
A FRIEND WILL FORGIVE YOU FOR THE THINGS YOU SAY
AND DO
A FRIEND WILL ALWAYS HOLD A SPECIAL LOVE FOR YOU
A FRIEND WILL HEAR YOUR PROBLEMS AND NEVER
REPEAT A WORD
A TRUE FRIEND IS HARD TO COME BY, THIS I’VE OFTEN
HEARD
A FRIEND WILL LAUGH WHEN YOU’RE HAPPY AND CRY
WHEN YOU’RE SAD
THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST FRIEND I EVER HAD

SILENT DAY’S
NO CHILDREN PLAYING IN THE STREET
NO PITTER PATTER OF LITTLE FEET
SILENCE LINGERS DOWN THE HALL
NOISIER DAYS THEY CAN RECALL
NO MORE CRYING OUT AT NIGHT
NO LONGER DO THEY FUSS AND FIGHT
THE CHILDREN GREW UP AND MOVED AWAY
THE HOUSE IS NOW QUIET THROUGHOUT THE DAY
MOM AND DAD REMINISCE OF DAYS PAST
LIFE

A PERSONAL PRAYER
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, PLEASE HEAR ME WHEN I
PRAY
I NEED YOUR GUIDING HAND TO GET ME THROUGH THE
DAY
THERE WILL BE MANY DECISIONS THAT I KNOW I’LL HAVE
TO MAKE
PLEASE POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION THAT I SHOULD
TAKE
AS LONG AS YOU ARE WITH ME THE VICTORY WILL BE
MINE
I HAVE NO NEED TO WORRY, THINGS WILL BE JUST FINE
YOU WOKE ME UP THIS MORNING WITH THE SUN SHINING
BRIGHT
AS I JOURNEY THROUGH THIS DAY, MAY I NEVER LEAVE

A MOTHER’S PRAYER
LORD PLEASE PROTECT THESE CHILDREN THAT YOU’VE
GIVEN ME
GIVE THEM PEACE WHEN TRIALS THEY SEE
GIVE THEM MERCY WHEN MISTAKES THEY’VE MADE
GIVE THEM A HEAVENLY VISION THAT REFUSES TO FADE
GIVE THEM STRENGTH WHEN THE ENEMY IS NEAR
SEEK OUT THE REASON FOR EACH FALLEN TEAR
GIVE THEM LOVE THAT NEVER GROWS OLD
GIVE THEM WARM HEARTS THAT NEVER TURN COLD
WATCH OVER MY CHILDREN AND GIVE THEM A LIFE
THAT’S FILLED WITH JOY
GIVE THEM A TESTIMONY THAT THE DEVIL CANNOT
DESTROY

GOD IS STILL BLESSING
A GENTLE BREEZE UPON MY SKIN
HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD TO COVER MY SIN
A RAY OF LIGHT THROUGH MY WINDOW PANE

A HUNGER FOR LOST SOULS AND TEARS TO WEEP
A JOYFUL HEART AND A SONG OF PRAISE
GOD IS STILL BLESSING HIS CHILDREN IN THESE
LAST DAYS

YOU WILL SEE A RAINBOW
GOD KNOWS THE REASON FOR YOUR TEARS
YOUR WALK HAS BEEN FAITHFUL THROUGH THE YEARS
HE CAN SEE THE SCARS UPON YOUR HEART
THE MASTER WAS THERE FROM THE VERY START
THE SAVIOR HEARS YOUR SHOUT OF PRAISE
HE WILL GRANT YOU BRIGHTER DAYS
HOLD ONTO YOUR FAITH AND MIRACLES YOU WILL SEE
THE KING OF KINGS WILL BE BLESSING THEE
YOU WILL SEE A RAINBOW WHEN THE STORM COMES TO
AN END

THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT
I DON’T FEEL LIKE GOING TO CHURCH TODAY
THERE ARE SO MANY PRAYERS THAT I MUST PRAY
NOBODY WILL NOTICE IF I MISS A SERVICE OR TWO
THE ENEMY HAS BLINDED YOUR EYES TO WHAT IS TRUE
I CAN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF ANOTHER
GOD HAS A CALLING FOR EVERY SISTER AND BROTHER
MY PAST IS SO DARK THAT I FEEL I’M TO FAR GONE
JESUS CHRIST PROMISES THAT YOU’LL NEVER WALK
ALONE
THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK
LET HEAVEN BE THE DESTINATION YOU SEEK

DARKNESS TO SOME MEANS MORE THAN SLEEP
THIS WORLD WILL GIVE YOU REASON TO WEEP

THE EVIL MINDED ARE ON PATROL
THEIR OUT TO ROB YOU OF YOUR SOUL

NEVER ENDING JOY
THE LORD HEARD ME CRYING IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE NIGHT
I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES AND MADE THINGS
RIGHT
I OPENED MY HEART AND LET HIM IN

I’M NOT THE SAME MAN THAT I USE TO BE
I’LL NEVER FORGET THE DAY THAT HE SET ME
FREE
I’M SO THANKFUL FOR HIS LOVING GRACE
I CANNOT HIDE THIS SMILING FACE
JESUS CHRIST PERFORMED A MIRACLE FOR THIS
GOOD OLE BOY
MY LIFE HAS BEEN FILLED WITH NEVER ENDING

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A RIVER AS THE WATER GOES
FLOWING BY
HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED THE STARS AS THEY BRIGHTEN UP THE SKY
HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED THE SNOW AS IT FELL GENTLY TO
THE GROUND
IT WOULD PAY TO BE MORE WATCHFUL, FOR THERE’S BEAUTY ALL AROUND

I HURT FOR THE LONELY AND THE WAY THEY FEEL
THOSE FALLING TEARS ARE OH SO REAL
