HEAVEN'S GATE

 

I wept today to feel Your touch

As You lifted me on wings of faith

And brought my soul to heaven’s gate.

My grateful heart burned within

When I felt, that for me,

You rose above Gethsemane.

RICHES

 

Your truth pierces my soul

And binds me to Your loving heart.

Your teaching moments

Find my hungry mind

And feed me like a bird in flight

Searching for a morsel

That gladdens its hungry heart.

Your mysteries are laid at my feet

And I, when I come home, will be

Clutching these riches that are mine to keep.

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.
