THE STRAIT AND NARROW

To walk the strait and narrow

Look neither to the left or the right
Follow the Lord Your God
Follow Him with all your might

He wants us to keep our eyes on Him
He wants us in His Word each day
When we follow where He leads
He will keep us in His Way

If we will only listen to Him
He will guide us through
For our God is always faithful
He will never leave or forsake you

But to walk the strait and narrow
Is much easier said than done
For there are those who claim to know Him
But really don’t follow God’s only Son

They try so hard to confuse and beguile
They tell us this or that’s okay
When we really know what’s wrong
They will still try to lead us astray

We need to stay strong in the Lord
We need to live for Him today
We have to let tomorrow alone
And let Him lead and guide us His Way

John 3: 16

STORMS AND ALL

Sometimes it is so hard
To hold it all together
When you are on the verge of tears
But you have to wait for later

Later, when no one is around
Then you can let the tears flow
You can finally give in to the storm
When no one else will know

But there is one who knows
The One who made your heart
Our Father up in heaven
Who knows your heart is falling apart

He knows all the pain and sorrow
You keep hidden down deep within
He knows about the heartache
He knows the pain you are in

He knows what you are thinking
That you can’t let anyone see
You think you are all alone
But that will never be

He will hold you close
Until the tears are gone
When you are ready to face the world
And with Him travel on

I know it’s hard to do
But in Him we need to trust
To hold tightly to His hand
Through the calm and the tempest

Because life will bring storms
And the tears they will fall
But with His hand to guide us
We can weather life, storms and all
