Know this - I am.
Know this - I can.
Know this - I will
and know this - I will, with you.
And yes, that's a promise,
Oh, I'm serious.
You can be sure of my presence,
confident of my grace.
Come and together
let's change this place
for the better.

Tomorrow is never promised  

Therefore each day is precious  

Who knows what delights a day may bring  

Believe each moment has a significance  

Time ticks by bringing forth a new day  

Each stroke paints a small picture of possibility

A new dawn of possibility  

An emblem of freedom  

Each day holds a moment of significance  

Embrace your love and remind them of their place in your heart  

Have gratitude for an unmerited gift  

Life's beauty stands forever gleaming as a crystal  

reflecting diverse rays of hopes and possibilities  

Each to grasped at and utilised

I am alive  

I can see the path that lays ahead of me,  

The roads are winding and the challenge is hard  

But there is grace for every moment hope for every dream

I am such a wretched man living in a foriegn land. No good work comes from my hand's.

The words that flow from my mouth are proceed from a wicked heart.

I know you by your name.
Your love covers me casting a shadow of shame. Your innocence was subsituted by my guilt. It was my sin and yet you took the blame. You know me by my name.

You seen my heart. My flesh was woven with weeds and thorns. You called out to me, I heard you and my sin departs. You justified a man because you love me and it breaks my heart.

Your presence is upon me, I am convicted. I ask for forgivness and then depart. I went from your light back into the dark. I clung to you. You held me, you know my heart.

I am so sinful. My every action is against you. My every plan is a plot. I wage war against you and your mercy sustains me as I continue in the dark.

I could have died so many times but you save me. I could of fallen but you hold onto me. You always have my best interest when to me you are just a passing thought.  

I fear your lashings but I reverence you because of who you are. You are the creator of all things! I am the child you sought. Your perfect son was given so that my sin would be baught.

I am forgiven and you are an after thought. I am unworthy, undeserving and ungrateful, this is what breaks my heart. You are merciful, giving and you never depart. You walk with me every day while I plot against you and spit in your face.

You saved my life and I curse your name. You changed everything and yet in me I walk the same. Your grace is upon me. Father I want to change. Will you forgive me and show me the way.

Jesus saves, I sin.

Hope, in trials find courage to hope

Believe in Gods hand and Hope  

See the sinking sands of time change your environment and hope in what doesn't change  

See each day as a chance to learn something new and hope.  

Take hold of the difficulty and lay it in the hands of the Lord and hope.  

Seek comfort in his guiding hand and hope.  

Look at what God has done in the past and believe with hope.  

The troubled waves are here yet he is the one who steers life so hope,  

Hope in God, In Christ, In his love and grace.

I'm starting to breath,  

My captive lungs have been released and I can breathe the air of liberty.my heart has been rejuvenated to operate one beat at a time

My eyes are starting to clear up from the steam of self-pity and the world is large with life once more  

Songs and melodies of life begin to resonate in my mind causing me to believe and hope

The grass is always greener on the other side of pain  

The bird cage has been left open  and I can fly free  

I can explore the vastness of the heavens

Time is in the hand of God.

He controls the events of each day both pleasing and dark. Finding humility and comfort in Him is the daily challenge. Each day brings its trouble and the storms must be walked through. Emotions overwhelm the soul perpetually and the heart is drowned in confusion and perplexity. O that help would be sent to assist one to swim in this sea of confusion and heart ache.

Loneliness creeps into the soul leaving the mist of solitary isolation. The heart is unable to cope with floods of emotions. The mind struggles to sit still and composed through the trials of life

To view God as all sufficient and all satisfying in the trials of life is difficult. To believe that in spite of all the trouble, all will be well, therein lies the difficulty.

O sorrowful one  

Your tears are seen  

Each droplet is collected in a sacred bottle  

Your sighs don’t go unheard  

The Lord Knows, The Lord sees  

He ordained the days

He ordained the moments  

Trust Him, he brings solid joys with each day  

He is always at hand to heal and to bless  

Always

Dawn breaks and the burden of the day lays heavy on the back  

Afraid to rise from bed for fear of taking a wrong step  

There's anxiety, worry, guilt  

Pain reaches the extremities and the mind is darkened with doubt  

Strange how pain persist, how it endure long seasons without relenting  

But in the midst of the anguish, there's room for hope  

The darkness will lift in its own time  

The heart through trials learns patience and trust  

Moves carefully taking one small step at a time

There is grace which is sweet to the heart  

Melodies of peace and comfort soon intrudes  

Promises once distant now seem clear and glows brightly  

Love will help lift the burden and cradles the soul in arms of peace
