Only Jesus Can
Only Jesus can make a sad heart glad
the only one who can give the best joy you ever had
He fills the hungry heart to satisfied and full
the only one who can redeem the sinful soul
Only Jesus can wash our sins away
the only one who can turn the night into day
He will always say "I forgive you"
the only one who can change a heart to make it new
Only Jesus can comfort you when you need a friend
the only one who stays with you to the end
He is always on duty caring for his sheep
the only one who loves so tenderly and deep
Only Jesus can heal a broken heart
the only one who shares our sorrows and takes a part
He is the savior who knows our deepest woes
the only one who gives victory over all our foes
Only Jesus can dry away our tears
the only one who calms all our fears
He is always there to strengthen in times of need
the only one to follow as he does guide and lead
Only Jesus can see the lonesome heart and void
the only one who can fill it to overjoyed
He is always there to hear our pleadings and request
the only one who gives perfect peace and rest
John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
The Comforter
Jesus gives us peace in our heart
that the world cannot give
Because of the Holy Spirit
who dwells within and lives
The Holy Spirit is our comforter
who teaches us all things
He gives us understanding of His word
and joy that makes our heart sing
The Holy Spirit brings things
to our remembrance
recalling things in Gods word
about Jesus and the events
The Father sent this wonderful comforter
to abide with us forever
and as born again believers
he will leave us never, no never
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Waiting on the Lord
Waiting on the Lord is a hard thing to do
Just look to the Lord and wait for his cue
We get in such a hurry and just want to go
when God says in his Word just "Be still and know"
Be still and don't lose heart if the trial seems long
If you plug the branch into the vine you can be strong
He has the power we need to travel down life's road
Just tell him all your problems and he will carry the load
God is always on time, though we sometimes have to wait
He knows what he is doing and he will not be late
His schedule is not disrupted because of our lack of trust
He just wants to get all the glory and our life to readjust
Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God
Perfect Peace
The day in which we live is a
dangerous and perilous time
If you speak out for Jesus,
it soon will be considered a crime
But Jesus who loves us
and notes the sparrow's fall
Will always be so near
and hear us when we call
Though the world everywhere
is full of trouble, pain, and sorrow
If you keep your mind on him,
He'll give you peace today and tomorrow
He gives his perfect peace
to those who trust in him
Though the world seems spinning out of control
Jesus will keep safe and secure your soul
Just tell Jesus all your troubles
and he will see you through
He already knows about them
and knows what he is going to do
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Trials
Trials come on suddenly
and hit us like a freight train
We get dismayed and wonder
"was my labor all in vain"
Yesterday everything was
so sunny and so bright
and today we try so hard
but just can't seem to find the light
We question what is going on
and why things happen as they do
But God says "My child fret not,
I have a plan for you"
Then we look upward
and see a rainbow in the sky
and a voice whispers softly to us
"God is still on his throne on high"
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Calm Assurance
Our fathers way may twist and turn
and our troubled hearts may ache
But we know God can turn ashes into beauty
and remold and remake
He can put the broken pieces
back together again
so to praise and glorify his name
and once more anew begin
Being torn and in distress
does not mean weve been forsaken
it only means God is still on His throne
with a plan to get us awakened
When struggles and sin are besetting
and the day seems long
he knows how to fix things
and put in our heart a song
To have a calm assurance
that soon the struggle will be done
when safe in the arms of Jesus
well be in heaven and eternity just begun
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
