Your Gentle Whisper

You whisper gently to me Words of guidance Comfort and peace Your loving voice quiets My anxious thoughts

Your words are like a symphony

Soothing, calm A lovely sound Which fills my mind With wonder and joy

Your voice is full of power

Like the mighty ocean A single word Can cause the mountains To awaken and stir

And though other voices

Telling pretty lies Compete for my attention I will shut out their noise And hear your gentle whisper

I Will Prevail

Walls close in around me I’m trapped within my doubts and fears The lights grow dim; I cannot see Yet I will prevail

Truth is lost within the lies Friends once trusted now betray

Their thoughtless words leave tearstained eyes Yet I will prevail

Tossed upon the stormy waves

My desperate cries are heard by none I’m scared I’ll drown and not be saved Yet I will prevail

Everything has changed now

What seemed forever’s at an end I must move on but don’t know how Yet I will prevail

Friendships grow and start to fade

Though in my heart they’ll never die These sad goodbyes pierce like a blade Yet I will prevail

Questions racing through my mind

Oh Lord, where do I go from here? Your path I fear I will not find Yet I will prevail

Stumbling on life’s bumpy road

Where twists and turns confuse the way I’m weary now, my footsteps slowed Yet I will prevail

Broken hearts will one day heal

A lesson only learned in time Right now the hurt is all I feel Yet I will prevail

And with the Lord to guide me

To hold me in His loving arms My heart will sing and be set free With Him I will prevail

Throw Me To the Lions

All my life I feared, Oh Lord I feared that if I was different If I was to let Your light shine through me If I was to show Your love Then the world would throw me to the lions They'd mock me for my faith in You And throw me to the lions

I've had this fear throughout my life

So I've always kept Your love hidden I feared that if I let it show They'd throw me to the lions So I've kept my love hidden

But suddenly I saw the truth

Which you revealed to me within my heart By not allowing Your truth to shine I was already in the lions' deadly grasp The lions already had me And I was struggling to escape

You see, Oh Lord The lions are the world that I so feared

By allowing the world to frighten me My faith in You was slowly dying The lions that I had so feared Were already killing me inside

But Lord, You closed the lions' mouths By opening my eyes to the truth

Only by my showing the world Your love Was I out of the lions' grasp They could not harm me with You, Lord, standing by my side Though they roar and grit their teeth They cannot harm me For You are by my side

The Light

Sometimes I feel so lost, Dear Lord And cannot find my way The walls close in around me All I can do is pray

And through those prayers and with Your voice

You'll guide me to the light So I can see the path of hope Shining true and bright

Blessings

Your blessings, Lord, surround me So many I can see Beneath the surface even more Enwrap and comfort me

I'm blessed with friends like sunshine

Who warm my heart and soul Your glory, Lord, shines through their eyes And fills the deepest hole
