He made the mountains, He made the seas. He made the flowers that bloom with the trees. He made the music the saints sing with joy. He made the little ones, including their toys.   He made the moon that brightens the night. He made the sunshine that warms the daylight. He made the raindrops that…

I asked the Lord to bless you As I prayed for you today To guide you and protect you As you go along your way…. His love is always with you His promises are true, And when we give Him all our cares You know He will see us through So when the road you’re…

I looked ahead in time one day To see a man who had gone away I thought that he would rise not fall I guess I didn’t know that man after all He lived with dreams and hopes and fears So sure success was very near And all at once it came again Those wrenching…

God is like General Electric  He lights the path.  God is like Bayer Aspirin  He works wonders.  God is like Hallmark Cards  He cared enough to send the very best.  God is like Tide  He gets out the stains that others leave behind. God is like Vo-5 Hair Spray  He holds through all kinds of…

I did not know His love before, the way I know it now. I could not see my need for Him, my pride would not allow. I had it all, without a care, the “Self-sufficient” lie. My path was smooth, my sea was still, not a cloud was in my sky. I thought I knew…
