Heavenly Father, I praise you through my pain
Heavenly Father, I praise you through my despair
Heavenly Father, I praise you through my needs
Heavenly Father, I praise you through my wants
I worship You in the morning
I worship You in the afternoon
I worship You in the evening
I wake up singing Your praises
Heavenly Father, I thank You for my blessings
Heavenly Father, I thank You for my ability to give
Heavenly Father, I thank You for my forgiveness
Heavenly Father, I thank You for my healing
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The wonder I have become through You
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
Thank You for saving me
-Lourdes Martin
Lord I desire, to give unto You
A heart full of fire
A love pure and true
So many times I fail You
So many times I fall
When I only give a part of me
Instead of giving all
I stumble in the darkness
When I should walk in light
And love the Lord, my God
With all my heart, my soul, my might
I sometimes seek fulfillment
In a world that's filled with sin
But I never find contentment
'Til I seek Your face again.
And when I'm walking blindly
And living as I please
And I can't see the answers
Or the forest for the trees
I hear You softly call me
And say "Child, it's alright"
"For this cause I died for you,
to give you back your sight."
So I praise You for my Saviour
The Truth, the Life, the Way
I praise You for Your Spirit
Who comforts me each day
I praise You for Your power
That calms the troubled seas
And I love you like a little girl
On her Daddy's knees.
-Mary Scott
In the glory of the sunrise
As I walk beside the sea
I thank Him for my pleasure
And I thank Him for my pain
It is there He speaks to me.
-Julie Aymonier
Waking up from my daze I blinked away the clouds in my eyes.
Awoken from my blank stare,
now was as good a time as any to rise.
I looked around,
only to see that no one was found.
At the base of my feet I see the foot trails…
I've been left behind again.
Always late and always last,
how I wish I could go fast.
But I am, unfortunately slow
and usually don't know which way to go.
I start to may my way… alone again
looking for a path to take
For I am most likely lost.
After awhile of going anywhere but straight,
with a sigh I sit down and think "It's time to wait"
My eyes start to fade,
My mind goes astray,
as I wait to be found or stay lost.
Alone,
Alone,
Alone,
always alone.
Thus, is the fate of the slow.
TAP TAP TAP
"Who is here?"
I search all around with false hope.
again let down
there is no one there
and so I return to my far way stare
TAP TAP TAP
"What is that?"
Said I with a mix of annoyance and fear.
Someone or something is around me… and quite near.
A feeling of love blooms like a rose in my chest.
My heart now full is fluttering in my breast.
I’m up in a flash with a tugging on my hand,
leading me on a path that's straight.
Who put the flower in my heart?
for I see no one. Not a hide or a hair.
Then came the smile on my face
for I know that my Savior is there.
I'm still not that fast,
the going's still slow
But there is one things I'll have you all know
I am not last,
in this life that's a race.
God, my Father, is merely letting me set my own pace.
I'm never alone for by me He will stand
showing me my path with a tug of the hand.
So with love in my heart I tell you dear friends
with God you'll never be dazed, alone, or lost again.

Your Word
It's morning.
I open my eyes and look around.
There are no words to express what I see.
Colors, changes, vibrance, life.
Until Your Word came in and re-created me.
It's morning! A new day!
I open my eyes and look around.
There are no words to express what I see.
How awesome and wonderful Your creation is!
The colors, the changes, the vibrance, the life.
-Nancy Dillon
