I wish You Perfect Happiness

I wish you perfect happiness
And love and laughter too
That will not fade at sunset
But be yours, your whole life through

May all your secret longings
And hopes and dreams come true
And may God guide you daily
In all you say and do

May your family bonds grow stronger
In the beauty of His light
Make each stumbling block a stepping stone
And in His love delight

May you fulfiLl your destiny
Prepared by God above
That the world may be a better place
For many through your love

I Prayed to the Father

I prayed to the Father
To watch over you
And lead you and guide you
In all that you do

And God in His mercy
Brought comfort to me
As He held you and guided you
So tenderly

Today I give thanks
For the road that you’ve come
In Christ you have trampled
The barriers down

Though the road has been tough
And the journey uphill
You’ve not given up
God is guiding you still

 

Deeply Loved and Highly Favoured

Deeply loved and highly favoured
Daughter of the King of Kings
Clothed in righteousness and beauty
Safe beneath my Father’s wings

Dwelling daily in His presence
None can pluck me from His hand
Though my enemies attack me
In God’s Glory I will stand

When I tire in the battle
And my shield sags, leaving me
Vulnerable to Satan’s onslaught
God is quick to rescue me

Tenderly my Father heals me
When I’m wounded in the fight
He does not reproach, but rather
Strengthens me to do what’s right

Deeply loved and highly favoured
By my Father, El Shaddai
I will honour praise and worship
At the feet of God Most High

 

I was Heading for Trouble

I was heading for trouble
With no light to see
And Hades and death
Were beckoning me

But Your love called me back
And Your grace set me free
Your Spirit engulfed me
In sweet ecstasy

Your voice when You told me
You’d not let me go
Was so gentle, my Father
It left me aglow

So I’ll walk in Your Spirit
As You called me to
For love is the reason
I’m following You

 

Bless God with all that’s Within

Bless God with all that is within
Bless God with your hands and feet
Bless God in your dance and worship
Bless God with a rhythmic beat

Bless God through your self-expression
Bless God with each part of you
Bless God with a shout of victory
Bless God every day anew

Bless God with a rap about Him
Bless God with a song of praise
Bless God in tongues of angels
To Him your banners raise

Bless God when you are happy
Bless God when you are blue
Bless God through rain and sunshine
In all you say and do

Abraham

In theophany form the Most High came
To Mamre to speak to Abraham
The Lord said to him a son would be born
In the tent behind them, Sarah laughed in scorn

At ninety years old, Sarah bore the dear son
Who was promised by the eternal One
They named the child Isaac, he grew and was weaned
God made a request which terrible seemed

God wanted an offering, but not a lamb
Sacrifice Isaac, He told Abraham
Though Abraham loved Isaac, he loved God more
And of God’s promise Abraham was sure

Abraham went to the land of Moriah
And Isaac carried the wood for the fire
On the mountain they built an altar and then
Isaac lay on the altar in place of a lamb

When God saw Abraham lift up the knife
God told Abraham to spare Isaac’s life
In the thickets behind them was caught a ram
God’s provided burnt offering for Abraham

As Abraham trusted when put to the test
That through Isaac, his seed would be countless and blessed
Trust God in the midst of the storm and you’ll see
The glory of God and have victory

Jesus is Compassionate

Jesus is compassionate
He will not turn away
He wants the very best for us
Just call on Him today

Jesus is omniscient
He knows our every need
He will not leave us desolate
Because we are His seed

Jesus is almighty
He is our Warrior King
He’ll win our every battle
If we’d just turn to Him

 

Is Anything too Hard for God

Is anything too hard for God
One thing He cannot do
Is anything beyond His power
He makes all things anew

No demon power can conquer Him
They tried on Calvary
But they just couldn’t keep Him down
He rose in victory

There’s none can pluck you from His hand
Once He has set you free
None of His children are cast out
He paid the price, you see

Just give Him all the love you can
He’s given all for you
In Him you’ll go from strength to strength
In everything you do

Was Ever Any Friend so True

Was ever any friend so true
Was any man so faithful
Was anyone so full of love
Was even one so stable

Unchanging through the changing years
His love is sure and strong
Though other lovers change their minds
And often do you wrong

His arms are always opened wide
When you need loving care
He’ll never turn His back on you
Nor leave you standing there

 

Murder of the Innocents

The cruelty of the doctors
In the suffering that they cause
Is not a secret thing that’s done
Behind their sterile doors

Healthy, living, unborn babies
Kicking in the mother’s womb
Are prematurely brought to birth
To torture and to doom

Brains sucked out while they are conscious
Till their tiny heads collapse
Spinal fluids taken from them
Murdered by atrocious acts

By the scalpels of the doctors
Babes are cut up in the womb
No-one sees their pain filled faces
As they’re murdered in the gloom

Then there’s the vacuum method
Limbs torn of the innocents
How is it there’s no compassion
In this world so lost in sin

Oh, the agony that they suffer
There’s no mother’s loving breast
For the arms that should protect them
Have betrayed them unto death

None conceived by their own doing
Tortured for the parents’ sin
Parents playing judge and jury
Who can then appeal for them
