Anguish
Oh how i cry out in pain, but my God does not hear me
how long, oh Mighty God must i endure this pain
Lord God of life, Lord God of all Creation
hear me when i cry out, heal my body of this pain
and take this anguish away from me and give my soul rest
Lord hear my prayer for my love for you is true
like the rising of the sun and the setting of the sun
like the stars and the moon, like raindrops on the roof
like the mighty oceans that obey you, all these things are
Yours, oh Mighty God
so am i and my obedience is to You, hear this prayer of my
soul
how can this hand-maid serve You in totality oh Mighty God
when her body is racked with pain, when her heart is
bleeding
how long oh Mighty God must i endure this pain, answer me
oh Lord, answer me.

God Of All
God of power, God of might, God of everything that is
right
Stars and moon, planets and sun, all in their rightful
place
thanks to the God and King who has dominion over
everything
seas dare not move over their boundaries, thunder and
lightening are all His
Trees in the fields wave their branches heavenward in
praise to the God of might
all animals wild and tame are His and they give Him thanks
there is nothing created that does not belong to God
for He was and is and always will be
He started everything and He will finish everything
for He is God of power, God of might, and God of everything
right.

A Winner's Creed
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you would like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you wont.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a person's faith;
It's all in the state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster hand;
They go to the one who trust in God
And always think "I can."
Author Unknown.

Praises To The Lord
Lord i praise You, i praise You O Lord
You give me life, You give me life in abundance
You restore my soul, my Lord and God.
Brokenness and strife are gone, in their place hope and
love.
You care for me in ways so good, Your tender arms holding
me so tight
i lean on Your chest so near and strong as tender words
come floating through
"Fear not little one for I AM with you"
Oh Lord i praise You i praise Your Holy Name.

My Master
To be like my Master, strong and silent, meek and mild
compassionate, caring, loving, and kind
To look at the world through eyes of love, as He does,
to care for the sick, maimed and blind in love.
To hold the hand of the sinner lost,
to work for the Father with a grateful heart
To walk through life in the shadow of my Lord,
to let the Holy Spirit work His way in me
To break and make this piece of clay
into a vessel usable and obedient to His word
till homeward bound i go when here on earth my work is
done
giving all glory through the Holy Spirit to God the Father
and Jesus Christ the Holy Son

God's Love
There is a God of love who dwells in me He cares for every
little need in me
He knows what is best for me, although at times i don't
agree
But God is right, His wishes, His thoughts, His timing,
are all perfect.
He knows what is best for me and now you see i have to
agree
For God is in me you see and i in Him one being are we
Although pain and turmoil are tearing me apart
a better person shall i be when pain and turmoil have left
me
for tender hands are making and molding me into a vessel
He can use.

Dawn Light
God creator of all heaven and earth,
You who made the stars to shine
and the seas obedient to Your command
The dawn's light as it comes over the horizon,
stretching long fingers of light, at Your command,
oh mighty God, colours so bright it catches the breath
awe inspiring delight to the eye and gladdens the heart
and purifies the soul giving peace to the mind.

Christmas Day
When God looked down from heaven one day
All He saw was pain and suffering and disaster at play
There was satan working his mischief on all mankind
So God in His mercy and love, sent down His only Beloved
Son
He was born as a babe in a manger, God's only Beloved Son
Jesus is His name, God of love, God of hope, God Eternal
He did not have to change His way of life, this only
Beloved Son
He did not have to visit earth as a man, to be mocked and
killed
Because of His great love, God's only Beloved Son chose to
come
So we too might know this God of love, God of hope, God
Eternal
Christmas is a time to remember, a time to love, a time to
bless
a time to sow, a time to reap, a time to know this Holy
Child Jesus

This Is The Day God Hath Made
Look to the day with a challenge!
Lift your eyes to the sun, not the shade!
Keep your heart filled with song, as you travel along
For this is the day God hath made!
Look to the day with a purpose
Of fulfilling the plans that you've had,
With a joy in your heart that will never depart,
For God's made this day to be glad!
Look to the day with a prayer
And a quiet request for His aid,
And be glad all day through in whatever you do,
For this is the day God hath made.
(Author unknown)
"This is the day which the Lord Hath made,
we will rejoice and be glad in it."
[Psalm 118:24]

Take Time
Take time to be holy, speak 'often' with
the Lord;
abide in Him always and feed on His Word.
make friends of God's children; help those
who are week!

Restoration" Issue no4. April 1993. Published by Biblical Education
Centre.)
