Dear Friend...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you love;
Reach out to Him who brings you joy,
And blessings from above...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you grace;
Come, tarry for a little while,
And rest in His embrace...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you hope;
He'll help you strive to carry on,
And give you strength to cope...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you life;
He'll be there ever by your side,
And take away your strife...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you peace;
Remember Him when skies are dark,
And you will find release!

His Grace Sufficient

Lord, my life holds less than bliss
With many things constantly amiss.
Problems always to abound,
Trouble and discord all around.
Grief and suffering much I've known,
With time, trials have grown.
Life to me has not been kind.
But, through You, Lord, peace I find.
You are the Power that sees me through,
I gave my broken life to You,
And found through grace You've given,
Above trial, Lord, I have risen.
