GUIDING LIGHT

 

Should the stars fall

from heaven,

And the sun refuse

to give its light;

Should the earth become

the darkest night,

You will ever be

My only guiding light.

MOMENTS OF DESPAIR

 

When I feel forsaken

In my greatest moments of despair,

I yearn to feel You near me,

I wonder if You are there.

 

I know You are watching,

And whispering for me to know:

To know your strength to conquer,

Some moments you have to face alone.

I understand, it has to be so,

I faced mine at Calvary long ago.

THE FOOT OF CALVARY

 

 

I carry my cross every day to the foot of Calvary

Where You carried yours so valiantly to the top;

I wait for You there to lift me

To the foot of Your gilded throne.

SEEDS OF LOVE

 

I will scatter the seeds of Your love

Along humanity’s path

To feed the hungry souls

For many years;

Until each cared for soul

Will pave the trail of my happy tears.

PRINCE OF PEACE

 

Thou art my light,

My honourable Prince of Peace,

Who will prepare the way

For me to go where

I have not gone before.

Wherever you send me

I will eagerly go

And honour Thy name.

To the ends of the earth,

Over mountains,

And over the seas;

Light my way, and in the end

Bring me home to Thee.

THE VEIL

 

I stood at the veil

As You were about to leave

Sorrowing that not all would believe.

 

I prayed for Father’s power

To protect Your gentle heart

From the blow that might tear You apart.

 

I knew my soul You would save

And all Your promises You would fulfil

I stood at the veil, unable to leave,

Holding Your crown for You to receive.

 

I stood and waited that fateful day

In awe of what You did to pave the way.

I could scarcely comprehend

Your godly enduring might

I stood at the veil and gave You my heart.

TRUST

 

I will scatter my prayers upward

Like birds in flight

reaching for Thy throne;

I will trust in Thy wisdom,

I will surrender my soul,

To see more clearly

my sacred path home.
