<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To walk the strait and narrow<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Look neither to the left or the right<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Follow the Lord Your God<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Follow Him with all your might<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He wants us to keep our eyes on Him<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He wants us in His Word each day<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When we follow where He leads<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He will keep us in His Way<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If we will only listen to Him<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He will guide us through<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For our God is always faithful<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He will never leave or forsake you<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But to walk the strait and narrow<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Is much easier said than done<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For there are those who claim to know Him<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But really don’t follow God’s only Son<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They try so hard to confuse and beguile<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They tell us this or that’s okay<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When we really know what’s wrong<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They will still try to lead us astray<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We need to stay strong in the Lord<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We need to live for Him today<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We have to let tomorrow alone<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And let Him lead and guide us His Way<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
To hold it all together
<br />
When you are on the verge of tears
<br />
But you have to wait for later
<br />
<br />
Later, when no one is around
<br />
Then you can let the tears flow
<br />
You can finally give in to the storm
<br />
When no one else will know
<br />
<br />
But there is one who knows
<br />
The One who made your heart
<br />
Our Father up in heaven
<br />
Who knows your heart is falling apart
<br />
<br />
He knows all the pain and sorrow
<br />
You keep hidden down deep within
<br />
He knows about the heartache
<br />
He knows the pain you are in
<br />
<br />
He knows what you are thinking
<br />
That you can’t let anyone see
<br />
You think you are all alone
<br />
But that will never be
<br />
<br />
He will hold you close
<br />
Until the tears are gone
<br />
When you are ready to face the world
<br />
And with Him travel on
<br />
<br />
I know it’s hard to do
<br />
But in Him we need to trust
<br />
To hold tightly to His hand
<br />
Through the calm and the tempest
<br />
<br />
Because life will bring storms
<br />
And the tears they will fall<br />
But with His hand to guide us
<br />
We can weather life, storms and all<br />
<br />

help me<br />And when I ask, with my soul will abide<br /> <br />It is a detailed map<br />It covers all possible ground<br />It is a light unto my path<br />It helps the lost be found<br /> <br />It is a love story for the ages<br />Written by my Creator<br />To tell me of His love<br />And point me to my Saviour<br /> <br />It tells the story of His life<br />And how He taught us to live<br />It tells how to triumph over sin<br />And of His Kingdom to arrive<br /> <br />What is the Bible to me?<br />It is more than just a book<br />It helps me live my life<br />It is Life Eternal’s

brothers and sisters<br />Who live in pagan countries<br />They are persecuted and killed<br />Because of others theologies<br /><br />But they do not count the cost<br />Just the same as Jesus did<br

IS MISSINGSomething is missing<br />I don't know what<br />People say they believe<br />But do they really believe?<br /><br />They come to church<br />Take God off the shelf<br />Listen to the preacher<br />But don't hear the Teacher<br /><br />They sit and talk<br />But not about God<br />And when it's time to leave<br />What have they received?<br /><br />By the looks of things<br />They didn't get it<br />They leave God behind<br />And leave still blind<br /><br />God to them is a weekly thing<br />To be picked up for an hour<br />Just to fulfill an "obligation"<br />But with God have no relation<br /><br />They go back to the world<br />And do just as before<br />Back to their busy-ness<br />There's really no witness<br /><br />Wake up people<br />Can't you hear the cries?<br />There are people out there<br />Who need someone to care<br /><br />They need some Good News<br />To help then know about their souls<br />They need to know they are lost<br />And someone to tell them the cost<br /><br />Bring the Good News to them<br />Time is growing short<br />We need to get living again<br />And we need to tell them<br /><br />We need a revival<br />To have God in our hearts<br />He wants us to tell everyone<br />About His own dear Son<br /><br />Because as surely as the sun sets<br />Jesus will soon return<br />And He will ask what we have done<br />To tell of our Saviour's victory won<br /><br />Jeannine

RAINBOWThe rain is gone<br />The skies are clear<br />A gust of wind<br />Lingers near<br /><br />If you watch <br />You may see<br />A rainbow come<br />Beneath the tree<br /><br />For water lingers<br />Upon the leaves<br />And wafts from them<br />Upon the breeze<br /><br />Such a rare wonder<br />For me to see<br />A lovely rainbow<br />Beneath the tree<br /><br />It makes me think <br />Of my precious Saviour<br />Who through the storms <br />Is always there<br /><br />His wonderful love<br />Like the rainbow that shines<br />Lets me know the promise<br />I am His and He is mine<br /><br />For He promised He'd never leave<br />He would always be there<br />And in the storms of life<br />Upon Him cast every care<br /><br />And though it may seem<br />It was only by chance<br />I

out<br /> <br />He would fill them with His love<br />They wouldn't have to buy<br />It is freely given<br />By our Heavenly Father on high<br /> <br />So let the carnival go<br />No more rushing here

might truly see<br />Their Saviour who forsook<br />Heaven for you and me<br /> <br />First they would see<br />The star proclaim His birth<br />And angels singing sweetly<br />Over all the earth<br /> <br />Next they'd see the cross<br />Where He shed His precious blood<br />He did not count it a loss<br />To free us in a crimson flood<br /> <br />And then they'd see His glory<br />As He rose triumphant from the grave<br />They'd see it's more than a story<br />And they'd know their sins He forgave<br /> <br />Then maybe they would realize<br />The world has nothing to offer<br />And

THE RIGHT TRACKYou know you are on the right track<br />When the devil gets on your back<br />No matter how much time you put aside<br />Your efforts he will deride<br /><br />When you take the time to pray<br />he always puts something in your way<br />Whether it is thoughts or another<br />We need to cry out to our Abba Father<br /><br />We need to stick to the narrow path<br />We need to stop and work out the math<br />Because if we don’t listen to our heavenly Father<br />What will happen to “love one another?”<br /><br />What will happen to “bear each other’s burdens?”<br />The world is already full of those who are “hurtin”<br />Our relationships with one another<br />Would become a burden to suffer<br /><br />But take heart in the fact<br />That the devil chooses to attack<br />Because Jesus suffered too<br />All for love of me and you<br /><br />We need to let His love overwhelm us<br />We need to put our faith solely in Jesus<br />Then no matter how hard the devil attacks<br />We know Jesus always has our backs<br /><br />Jeannine

/></a> It makes it hard to count your blessings<br />When all you have is sadness, depressing<br />Sometimes so many things get you down<br />Making it feel like you will drown<br /><br />You know you shouldn’t give in to depression<br />But it over whelms you in succession<br />Soon the tears begin to flow<br />Crying and sadness are all you know<br /><br />It makes you feel so very alone<br />It makes you wonder for what to atone<br />You know God is there by your side<br />But still you feel so empty inside<br /><br />All you need is a gentle word<br />One to lift your spirit upward<br />A loving word to escape the pit<br />But you wonder if you deserve it<br /><br />And yet the Word is spoken<br />And the depression is broken<br />The Bible says, “For God so loved”<br />He sent His Son, so beloved<br /><br />Jesus came, He lived and died<br />He rose again and with us abides<br />He knows and understands what we feel<br />His ear is open to our every appeal<br /><br />Start counting your blessings<br />With your sins confessing<br />And with grace and mercy from above<br />The very first blessing is God’s love<br /><br />If you let it healing begins to flow<br />And pretty soon you begin to know<br />All the blessings God has given<br />With His love you are forgiven<br /><br />And you count your blessings one by one<br />Giving thanks for all God has done<br />You know He walks by your side<br />And you know His love deep inside<br /><br />And though life will sometimes get us down<br />And sadness may within abound<br />If we can remember to count on God’s love<br />Then healing will flow from heaven above<br /><br />Jeannine Faith<br /><div></div>JeannineFaithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13923488706063408011noreply@blogger.com0
