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!

Your Needful Hour

Oftentimes when hardship strikes
And darkness hides the light,
It seems as if there's no way out
And no strength left to fight -
It appears as though life's lost its color
And joy is gone forever
And all the good and happy moments,
Life did from you sever.
But just as sure as little wings
Help a bird to fly and 
Furry cats were given claws
To help them to survive,
And without water clouds would cease
To revive a pretty flower,
Be assured that God will help you
In your needful hour.

With Your Help

Lord, never let my heart grow weary
Of the tasks that lie ahead,
Renew my faith each day for You
As I waken from my bed.

Times of hurting and sorrow,
Help me burden them I pray,
Till at last the joy and laughter
One again will come my way.

If a person does me wrong
Let forgiveness enter in,
Do not let revengeful thoughts
Lead me to this awesome sin.

Last, but certainly not least,
Keep me pure as I can be,
Till at last I'm homeward bound
To live eternally with Thee.
