Nothing is impossible

by M.S.Lowndes
With the Lord in our lives
He causes doors to open
So we can walk inside
To brand new opportunities
We never knew before
To a new exciting level
In our walk with the Lord
With faith in our hearts
And our hand in His hand
We can cross any canyon
And through seas on dry land
For He will make a way
As in faith [...]

What could he do through you?

IF…
God can hang the stars on high,
Can paint the clouds that drift on by,
Can send the sun across the sky,
What could He do through you?
IF…
He can send the storm through space,
And dot with trees the mountain’s face,
If He the sparrows way can trace,
What could he do through you?

By J.L. McCarty 1996

Oh Lord Jesus who ascended to a heavenly place,
when will you come back for me,
that I may behold your glorious face?
With the trump of the angels, you will call for me someday,
I will be watching and waiting,
to be summoned far away.
On clouds of Glory, you will take me home,
to the place prepared for me,
a place [...]

Jerusalem – By William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time?
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring [...]

What a tangled web we wove,
when from our land the Lord we drove;
Our world around us began to all,
“Where God was through it all?”
His answer came with pained chargin,
You told me ‘to leave’ – Not ‘to come in’;
That you were ‘big enough’ to handle your care,
You had no need for Me – and prayer,
I took [...]

If you can’t be the pine at the top of the hill
Be a shrub in the valley below
The best little shrub in the valley below
Be a bush if you cant be a tree
If you can’t be a bush be a bit of the grassAnd some highway happier make
If you can’t be a muskie, then be [...]

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children learn to live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.

If children live with jealousy, they learn [...]

By Gwen Belson Taylor

Blessed are the pure of heart
So often we are told
Of saints whose names and daily deeds
Inscribed in words of gold
Are certain to be seeing god In well-rewarding joy-
But when I see the pure in heart
I see a little boy
He shins up trees and barks his knees
Has lizards in a box
Loves to read of dinosaurs
Collects bright-coloured [...]

A Childs’s Hymn

By Charles Dickens
Hear my prayer, O heavenly Father
Ere I lay me down to sleep;
Bid Thy angels, pure and holy,
Round my bed their vigil keep.
My sins are heavy, but Thy mercy
Far outweighs them, every one;
Down before Thy cross I cast them,
Trusting in Thy help alone.
Keep me through this night of peril
Underneath its boundless shade;
Take me to [...]

When I say “I am a Christian”

When I say, “I am a Christian,”  I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!  That’s why I chose this way”
“I am a Christian,”  I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble – needing God to be my guide 
When I say,  “I am a Christian,”  I’m not trying to be strong
I’m [...]
