Even in the deepest valley
I know You walk with me
I feel Your Holy Spirit close
as it brings me to my knees
When faced with trials and heartache
I trust You know what’s best
So I give to You my weary heart
and ease into Your rest.

Though the fire surrounds me
while Satan takes aim
I know you are with me
as I walk through these flames
Each difficult trial
I face not in vain
Only You know the purpose
so I’ll trust in Your ways
In You I claim victory
I’ve already won
The devil has been defeated,
the battle is done!

The devil will try to destroy you
don’t believe a word that he says
Doubts and lies are all he knows
Don’t let him into your head.
But, the God you serve is greater
For the battle, you’re prepared
In His presence you are guarded
He makes the enemy run scared.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
~John 10:10
In His Time
I’ll wait on Your timing
as hard as it seems
I know that Your blessings
far outweigh my dreams
You Lord, are faithful
You’ll always provide
and whenever I need You,
You’re right by my side
Your plans are all perfect
and You know what’s best
So, take hold of my heart,
put all of my worries to rest.

Will you be My Valentine?
I gave my life for you
I bled and died upon that cross
to give you life brand new.
Will you be My Valentine?
I’ll wipe away your tears
I’ll bear your every burden
and comfort you in fear.
If you’ll be My Valentine
I’ll be forever yours,
together for eternity
I’ve opened Heaven’s doors.

“Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
When my heart gets tired of waiting,
I feel Your gentle touch
as You tenderly remind me
to stop worrying so much
You know the plans You have for me,
the man You’ve set aside
Your timing is always perfect
Your ways, much better than mine
Although I get impatient,
I may plead, and beg, and cry,
I know You know what’s best for me,
and only Your Love can truly satisfy.

“Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.”
~Psalm 90:14 (NIV)
Two crisscrossed tree limbs
three sharp nails
that held His body there
He shed His blood
on Calvary’s Mount
to show how much He cares
The pain He bore
was all for us
He sacrificed His life
For our home in Heaven
a life everlasting
He paid the ultimate price

Perfect Love
More than enough
His love for me
He holds me close
Welcomes me back when I flee
He cleansed my soul
It’s white like snow
His grace is unending
Like a fountain it flows
On the Cross
He bled and died
He gave His life
In exchange for mine
A glorious Savior
His perfect love
One day I’ll join Him
In Heaven above

A thirsty soul
seemingly hopeless
nowhere to turn
her life was a mess
She turns to a bottle
A temporary relief
she stumbles around
trying to get back on her feet
A hand-me-down Bible
her curious, aching heart
she opens it’s pages
but has no clue where to start
A tug at her heart
She drops to her knees
A calmness sets in
she knows He hears her pleas
Once broken and lost
She found love and grace
in the arms of Jesus
and His sweet, warm embrace.

If Heaven had an address
I’d write to you each day
Put my heart on paper
I’d know just what to say
If Heaven had an address
You’d never be alone
I’d drive right out to visit you
And make myself at home
Though Heaven has no address
We’ll soon be reunited
I’ll make my home in glory, too
Because through Jesus, we’ve all been invited.
