Lord, grant me courage that I may accomplish what you will!

Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like chaff.
You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in the LORD. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel. – Isaiah 41, WEBBE

Lord, Grant Me Courage

Lord grant me courage
When I am afraid
Let me never compromise
Your ways.

Make me brave
Let me stay true
Ever let me be faithful
To You!

Lord grant me courage
That I may not fail
And that in all things
I may do what You will.

Help me to go on
Help me persevere
No matter how difficult
No matter how dark the way.

Fill me with joy so I may share it with your people who are grieving in the dark.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death. You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. -Isaiah 9, WEBBE

Fill My Heart With Joy

Fill my heart with joy, O, Lord
Grant me this so I may be kind
And so that I may have something
To share with humankind.

The world has grown dark
When it forgot your light,
The world has grown bitter
When it forgot your love.

Hearts are aching
And souls are seeking
Some way to relieve
All their pain.

They must know You,
They must find You,
Your happiness and Your light,
So they can be whole again.

Dear Jesus, keep me always in your heart.

He said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” – Luke 23, WEB

Remember Me

Remember me, O, Lord
Keep me always in Your heart.
Though I may often forget,
Though I may often stray.

Remember me, and keep me
etched forever in your heart,
That I may find my way again
No matter how dark the path.

Remember me, hold me,
Never let me go,
Until I’m home again
And safe in your loving arms.

There comes a time when only the face of Christ can give you peace.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. – John 14, WEBBE

The Face of Jesus

I come to you troubled,
I come to you burdened with so much,
I come to you, O Jesus,
because I seek your peace.

O blessed, peace,
when shall you abide within me,
to bless my heart
with your healing balm?

For the world has wounded me
with its noise;
it has afflicted
my aching heart.

O dear Jesus,
let me see your face,
Your face of sweet suffering,
Your face of utter peace.

For your peace is a peace
that is so deep,
it runs beneath
the most troubled waters.

Your peace is a peace
that the world cannot give,
because it has not known You,
it has not seen your face.
