I believe in Miracles and dreams that will come true,
And I believe in happiness and friendship, through and through
I believe that when you cry your tears are not in vain,
And when you're sad and lonely someone knows that you're in pain.
I believe that when we laugh a sparkle starts to shine,
And before you know these sparks will spread
From more hearts than just mine.
I believe the gifts you have are there for you to share
And when you give them from the heart, the whole world knows you care.
I believe that if you give, even just to one,
That gift will grow in magnitude before the day is done.
I believe that comfort comes from giving part of me,
And if I share with others, there's more for all to see.
I believe that love is still the greatest gift of all,
And when it's given from the heart, Love will conquer all.

He Will Never Fail to See You Through
He Will Never Fail to See You Through
The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind.
The withered flowers hold the seeds of promise,
The winter days are harbingers of spring;
The trials that may often seem most bitter
May bring to you the joy that makes you sing.
The sorrows that have come to you unbidden
Have often brought a peace before unknown.;
the Maker of your destiny is striving
To fit your heart to be His royal throne
Your roses may have thorns, but don't forget
Your thorns may have some roses, too;
The Lord of great compassion loves you yet,
And He will never fail to see you through.

In darkness there is no choice.
It is light that enables us to see the differences between things; and it is Christ who gives us light.

GOD CAN
GOD CAN
When you feel unlovable, unworthy and unclean...
When you think that no one can heal you..
Remember Friend, God Can.
When you think that you are unforgivable...
For your guilt and your shame..
Remember Friend, God Can.
When you think that all is hidden...
And no one can see within..
Remember Friend, God Can.
And when you have reached the bottom...
And you think that no one can hear..
Remember Friend, God Can.
And when you think that no one can love...
The real person deep inside of you..
Remember my dear Friend, God Does.

Under His Wings
"Under His wings I am safely abiding,
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild;
Still I can trust Him, I know He will keep me,
He has redeemed me and I am His child."

Joy Comes in the Morning
WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT,
BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING.
Psalms 30:5
Joy Comes In the Morning
If you’ve knelt beside the rubble
Of an aching, broken heart,
When the things you gave your
Life to fell apart;
You’re not the first to be acquainted
With sorrow, grief, or pain,
But the Master promised sunshine after rain
Hold on, my child, JOY comes in the morning,
Weeping only last for the night;
Hold on, my child, JOY comes in the morning,
The darkest hour means dawn is just in sight.
To invest your seed of trust in God
In mountains you can’t move,
You have risked your life on things
You cannot prove;
But to give the things you cannot keep
For what you cannot lose,
Is the way to find the JOY God has for you.
Hold on, my child, JOY comes in the morning,
Weeping only last for the night;
Hold on, my child, JOY comes in the morning,
The darkest hour means dawn is just in sight.

Stepping Stones
Stepping Stones
The Lord came to me like a dream one day
and asked, "why do you sorrow?"
I answered, "Lord my life is so full of pain,
I can't face one more tomorrow.
The Lord sat down beside me,
and gently took my hand.
He said, "Let me explain to you
and then you'll understand.
Each sorrow is a stepping stone
you must surmount each day.
And every stepping stone you climb
is a sorrow that's passed away.
The road of life is a mountainside,
with crevices in which to be caught.
But as you struggle on your way,
I the Rock, will lend support.
Every stepping stone you climb,
makes spirit and heart grow strong.
Exercising character and faith
this road seems painful and long.
The way is paved with stepping stones,
to uplift your heart and soul.
Though difficult they aid your way,
to a City paved with gold.
I know that you are tired,
for I too have walked this way.
My sorrows did they multiply,
but I cleared many stones away.
I left my rock to lift you up,
I left behind my story;
To give you strength to make your climb,
to that special place in glory.
And never fear, the Rock is here,
You'll never climb this mountain alone.
Surmount life's sorrows, continue on,
For they are but stepping stones.

Light After Darkness
Light After Darkness
Light after darkness, gain after loss,
Strength after weakness, crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter, hope after fears,
Home after wandering, praise after tears.
Sheaves after sowing, sun after rain,
Sight after mystery, peace after pain;
Joy after sorrow, calm after blast,
Rest after weariness, sweet rest at last.
Near after distant, gleam after gloom,
Love after loneliness, life after tomb;
After long agony, rapture of bliss,
Right was the pathway, leading to this.
