Break My Fall

Massage my heart

I plead of thee!

Iron out those pleats 

Of pain.

In all my desperation, Lord 

I look above and

Search for thee.

I look towards blue skies above 

And learn again of thy true love.

Though I may fail and stumble, crawl –

An outstretched hand will 

Break my fall.

Keep on Praying

I will fight for myself

I will fight for my life

I will fight for my breath

That keeps me alive

I will fight for my home

I will fight for your love

And when I’m alone

I won’t fight but will

Pray.

Powerless

Powerless to do what is right

Powerless to get strength from the light

Powerless to smile through my pain

Powerless to escape the cold rain

Powerless to stop my heart bleed

Powerless I fall to my knees

There is power in weakness

I have to believe.

Living Hope

I lived in fear for years on end

My soul was tied and bound

I had no place outside my realm

No open path that I could tell

I gave up hope, resigned to life

My bed was made so down I laid

But change came by and saw the heart

My tears had nearly drowned

I closed my eyes and lift my arms

I surrendered all to God

Please help me, Lord, my life is yours

I have nowhere else to go

He heard my prayers and felt my pain

And wiped it all away

I thank you Lord for all you’ve done

For all my life might be

I’ll live my days to glorify

My living hope in Thee!

My Lord!

I’ll follow the signs
Where they might lead
I’ll follow the light
Through a jumbled maze

I will trust in the source
That higher power
Of heaven and earth
And the universe

I will trust in grace
For this I know
My Lord loves me –
He loves me so!

Praise!

I am healed

And so I sing 

My heart rejoices 

Evermore 

I am full with 

Joy and gladness

A love that overflows 

For I know my Father loves me

He cares about my soul 

I am His child 

He is my Lord

I praise His name 

Today!

Strength for Today

Strength for today, my tiny prayer

Strength for today is all I need 

Strength for the hours that stare at me

Strength for the seconds that beckon me

Strength for the time I may see you 

Strength for the breath of living air

Strength for today, my tiny prayer

Strength, my Lord, please strengthen me

More Trust

If the world be taken from me
And all I have is dust
I will pray on my knees
I will pray for more trust

To know you are my father
And I am your child
You will never forsake me
I’ll never run wild

I will pray for more joy
I will pray for more love
I will pray for your grace
And more trust from above

Prayer for Patience 

I am waiting for love

I am waiting for Thee

I am waiting for patience

I am waiting to see

What thou hast in store for me

What thou heart has planned

The depth of thy mercy

The grace from thy hand

I am waiting, dear Lord

Hear my soul prayer

Grant me thy vision

Lend me thy ear

So I could hear fully

And I could know trust

That thy way is best

I will wait if I must
