MY GOOD STAR

Something
Seems To Lead Me,
To beckon Me
From Afar,
Something seems
To lure Me On.
It is My Good
Star.

When it guides
Me to a Place
I Know it is
Right.
That Place
Will bring
To Me a
Pure delight.

It is better
Than a compass
Or even a Map.
For I feel Upon
My Shoulder
A strong tap.

Then I Am
Away
With the Winds
And tides,
And Upon
My Journey
I make great
Strides.

Something Seems
To Lead Me,
To beckon Me
From afar.
Something seems
To lure Me
On.
It is My Good
Star.

WE WERE SINGING IN THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER

We were Singing
In The Spirit...
The Spirit of Prayer.
It Was so Wondrous,
Such a Blessing
As We gathered
There.
We Were Singing
In The Spirit.
The Spirit of
Love ~
O, it Was Glorious
So Victorious
Praising Our
Great God
Above!



THE RISING SUN

There is a Sunrise
In My Soul
And My Life
Will reach
It's goal.
I know
It Will
Because
There's
A Sunrise
Shining bright
In My
Soul.



MY CASTLE IN THE SKY

My Castle In The Sky...
You have to reach it
From on High.
Because it truly is
A Castle In The Sky,

So Come To My
Castle
In The Sky,
But Remember - -
You have to
Reach it from
On High!

I Have A Castle
In The Sky
You have to Come
To it
From On High.
But Come to My
Castle
And See
How Great
Is Your
Victory!

I ASK FOR COURAGE

I ask for Courage,
Lord,
To get Me through
This Day.
I ask for Thy Light
To help Me
On My Way.
I ask for Hope,
That I May forge
Ahead.
I ask for Faith,
That I May lose
All dread.

I ask for Trust...
A simple clinging
To Thy Hand.
I ask for Love
That Will All
My doubt
Disband.
I ask THY Strength
In Each Moment
As it Comes to Me - -
For Thy Strength Alone
Sets me Completely
FREE.




STAY STEADY

Stay Steady.
Keep Your Faith
In Him.
Never for
A Moment
Let it become
Dim,
Keep it shining
Brightly
That all May
See.
Wave it
As a Flag
Of Victory!



JUST ONE STEP AT A TIME

Just One Step
At a Time
Is The Way
For Me.
For that is
The only Way
I Know.

Just One Step
At a Time
Is The Way
That I
Must Go...

Just One Step
At a Time
Is The Way
For Me
On the road
To God's
Full Victory.



OUR FAITH UMBRELLA

We have a Faith
Umbrella
That keeps Us
Sheltered
In Storm,
And through
The heaviest
Downpour
emerge
Safe and Warm.

For We are
Taken Care
of in Every
Way
If We just
Put Up
Our Faith
Umbrella
Every Stormy
Day!

THE VICTORY SHIP

The Winds
Sing through
Her rigging
Like
The sounds
From Many
Violins.

Her Sails
Stand Crisp
And full
against
The Sky.

The Golden Ship
"Victory"
Sails On
In Strength
And Glory,
With God
Conquering
All
That Would
Her Safe Passage
Belie.



SAFE IN THE SHELTER

Safe inthe Shelter
Of HIS Arm
Safe from Every
Thought of harm.
I am Only Trusting
In HIS Grace
As I Look Up
Into The Wonders
I see in Jesus' Face.
