God hath not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through. God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. God hath not promised we shall not know Toil and temptation, trouble and woe. He hath not told us we shall not bear Many a burden, Many a care.... Read More

Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be! With God as our Father, brothers all are we. Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony.  Let peace begin with me. Let this be the moment, now. With... Read More

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword! His truth is marching on. Glory, Glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.... Read More

… You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, Who abide in His shadow for life, Say to the Lord, “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!” … And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings, Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun! And hold... Read More

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way! Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day! It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day! Oh yes, I can make it now, the pain is gone. All of... Read More

Jesus and Sin

What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit. O what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.  Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble... Read More

Intelligence?

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, ‘Twas God that made them all. Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings. He made their glowing colors, and made their tiny wings.  The purple-headed mountains, the rivers running by. The sunset, and the morning that brightens... Read More

Science’s Despair

It seems we’ve stood and talked like this before. We looked at each other in the same way then, but I can’t remember where or when. The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes you wore. The smile you are smiling you were smiling then, But I can’t remember where or when. Some things that happen... Read More

Love Above All

O Lord my God, When I, in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour... Read More

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! Oh my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near; Sing now in glad adoration! Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth, Who, as on wings of an eagle, uplifteth, sustaineth.... Read More
