Matthew 14:31
"Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.
You of little faith, he said, why did you doubt?"
Broken Dreams
As children bring their broken toys,
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
Because He was my friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him
in peace to work alone,
I hung around & tried to help,
With ways that were my own.
At last I snatched them back & cried,
"How can you be so slow?"
"My child," He said, "What could I do?
You never did let go."

Step by Step
Step By Step

He does not lead me year by year
Nor even day by day
But step by step my path unfolds
My Lord directs my way.
Tomorrows plans I do not know
I only know this minute
But He will say, this is the way
By faith now walk ye in it.
I am glad it is so
Today is enough to bear
And when tomorrow comes
His grace shall far exceed its care
What need to worry or fret
The God who gave His Son
Holds all my moments in His hand
And gives them one by one.
God's Warrior
A Kingly Giver
Be patient-- life is very brief,
It passes quickly by,
And if it prove a troubled scene,
Beneath a stormy sky,
It is but a shaded night,
That brings a morn of radiance bright.
Be hopeful. Cheerful faith will bring
A loving joy to thee.
And make thy life a hymn of praise
From doubt and murmurs free.
Whilst like the sunbeams thou will bless
And bring to others happiness.
Be earnest. An immortal soul
Should be a worker true.
Employ thy talents for thy God,
And ever keep in view
The judgment scene, the last great,
When heaven & earth shall pass us.
Be prayerful ask and thou shalt have
Strength equal to the day.
Prayer clasps the hand that guides thee.
Ask largely and thy God will be
A Kingly giver unto thee.
