God Bless you.Lord, let me be a witness
To
the souls You bring my
way.
Be
it ever so simple,
Let
me speak Your words I
pray.
Let
my life portray the
meaning
Of
the love You give to all.
Not
judging, but ever
praying
That
upon Your Name they’ll
call.
Let
my will become a shadow
As
Your will becomes my own.
I
lay my will before You,
As
I kneel before Your
throne.
Use
me to reach the hurting,
Lord –
To
lead them to Your face.
When
they look into my eyes,
Lord,
Put
Your image in my place.
Lord,
let me be Your
witness.
Help
me speak Your words I
pray.
No
matter the cost before
me,
I
choose to walk Your way.

Dear God
Dear God, I love
you so much
because I know where I am,
And I know where
I used to
be,
And where I am is
nothing
like when my heart left me,
Each day I would
wake up and
gaze out the window,
But there was
nothing to see,
Because
everything was
nothing to me,
The birds made no
sound,
The trees had no
color to its
leaves,
Cold or hot, I
never felt the
wind's breeze,
All I did feel
was the pain,
My heart was so
hollow,
Yet it always
seemed,
That there was
never, ever
any room in there,
For anything
On the inside, I
was empty
Lord,
On the outside, I
had plenty
to be thankful for,
But all I saw was
the loss,
What I did not
have,
I did not have my
father,
I did not have my
mother,
I did not have my
aunt,
And the uncle I
had left was
being lost
To a drug habit,
So everybody who
meant
anything to me Lord,
The ones who
loved and cared
for me Lord,
Said they would
always be
right there for me,
All of a sudden,
they were
gone
And I felt myself
left all
alone,
Yet I could not
figure out
why,
Then Lord, you
sent a
minister my way,
And He was the
first one who I ever
really opened up to,
After I told him
my entire
story,
He only said
these three
words: God is Love,
The confidence
and trust in
his voice as he lifted your name high,
Made me not want
to ask
anymore questions about why this happened,
Or why that
happened,
Instead, it
opened a yearning
in my heart that made me want to learn,
Everything about
you Lord,
I think about you
everyday,
I learn about you
everyday,
I praise you
everyday,
Because you are
my God and
you love me everyday,
You loved me when
I didn't
think anyone was even
studying me nor
loving me,
I won't stop
giving praise to
you,
Because you never
stop making
ways for me,
I can remember in
my
ignorance and defiance when I declared,
That I didn't
know love,
You turned that
defiance into
radiance as I shout,
Glory to
God!
Hallelujah, Jesus!
I know love,
He's in my heart
when I wake,
when
I get ready to sleep
While I sleep,
God is love and
He never
leaves me,
I can hear the
birds singing,
I can watch the
leaves change
color,
I can feel the
wind,
It's beneath my
wings as I
fly higher in Jesus the Christ, our Lord.

Many
"But Thou, O
LORD, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter of mine head."
Psalms 3:3
Many are the lying thoughts
That bombard my aching head.
Many deceptions I have fought
While lying on my bed.
Many voices from the dark
Mock Thy Word's report.
"There is not help for you," they say,
"You are a broken fort."
Then my voice cried to You, LORD
To save me from attack.
You are my shield against the horde
That speak about my lack.
He heard me from His Holy hill
And answered swift and true.
His glory broke my enemy's will
And beat him black and blue.
I rose and smote my enemy
And broke his teeth with truth.
With the courage That my God gave me
I set his prisoners loose.
