Each New Day

How senseless and ignorant often I turn,
making the ways of the world my concern.
Then after the pain from each evil event,
I beg for forgiveness and try to repent.

It seems I'm now caught in a cycle of sin-
I'm clean for a season, then sinning again.
Thank God, despite my valleys and trails,
with each new day, His love never fails.

Let your Heart go Forth

Let your heart go forth to meet Him,
  wherever you range or roam..
    Whether here or there,
      in depths of despair,
    or so far away from home.

Let your heart go forth to meet Him.
  Lay down your burdens and rest.
    He's always near,
    sees every tear,
  and calls you to be His guest.

If you have God

If you have God, you have all things,
and without God, you have nothing-
nothing on earth of value or worth, 
and nothing worth even discussing.

But if you have God living within, 
there's no greater eternal treasure-
love and light, its depth and height 
exceeds anything you can measure. 

Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past, and those for which I haven't asked. Forgive me when I neglect to pray; instead, desiring my own way...
