I long for you my Jesus Lord
I walk into Your vestibule
My strength renewed, fully restored
Your grace is my refuge
–
In Your sanctuary sweet
I am sheltered from the storm
Your word, my sword, and shield
Your grace is my refuge
–
Your arms so tight around me
So soft and oh so warm
I am always safe…I’m with You
Sheltered from all storms
–
For Thou Oh Lord art with me

Above the dark deluge

My precious Savior Jesus
Your grace is my refuge

We always have to remind ourselves that Jesus is with us no matter how dismal the situation that comes our way.  He is always beside us, behind us and inside us.  He will never leave us.  We need to let Him comfort us.
–
Continuously communicate with Him and tell Him how you feel. Trust in His perfect and everlasting love for you. Pray unceasingly. Let His Holy Spirit fill you. Feel the healing power of Jesus. Even on the coldest of days our hearts are kindled by the fire of His love for us. Ooh… It’s getting warm in here!
You are so loved!

Rest well my friend

Let us sit by the fire
Come with me friend
To the banks of the river
At Lampreys bend
–
I’ll cook you a kettle
Of the finest fish
We’ll eat of some brown bread
From copper dish
–
With a smidge of sweet butter
Steamed o’er rocks,…river view
With some birch paper glasses
Filled with heavenly dew
–
Not a care in the world
On this bed of green grass
Nothing here to bother
This little lass
–
It’s so nice to be resting
Relaxing in Brie
No worries, no fretting
Just simply free
–
It’s so nice to be resting
Relaxing in Brie
No worries, no fretting
God’s got you and me

Quietly, I walk away
Although I am no coward
I sleep in peace, beyond all fear
I wield no earthly sword
–
I swiftly move through scorching fires
His word, a mighty sword
His heart inside my heart of hearts
I’m safe from worldly wars
–
By God’s own arm, delivered true
I’ve overcome all odds
My head held high, heart toward the sky
I forgive by the grace of God
–
By His power, by His strength
Holy Spirit filled
Our dear Lord Jesus never fails
His love in me instilled
–
God affirmed, my bellevue
Walking in His word
Not by my power, nor by my strength
But by my Spirit says, The Lord
–
And by His power, by His strength
No other way, or view
Our dear Lord Jesus never fails
His love in me and you

Words and Music by
Kelly S Griswold
Have a wonderful God blessed day friend k

I’m not just chasing rainbow sun
When I say I love someone
I cannot change, on loving people
It’s as real as rain on steeples
–
Beading up on bended ivy
Climbing high and hanging free
I see my Fathers’ mirrored view
Echo trills, that sound of Thee
–
Bringing all the way back home
The happiness of letting go
Sweet, the song, rolls on and on
‘Specially on a springtime stroll
–
In stillness, giving up my treasures
All to Jesus, weight and measure
God my best friend under none
When I say I love someone
–
I’ll watch as pearls bend, tip and drop
Just because … well love is love
I’ll wait … From distances near crops
For real love never fades nor stops
–
A gentle rose in hopes repose
Grows and grows and Heaven knows
To love someone, I’ll water you
For His glory, His will, I’ll do

I’d rather be discerning
Than judgemental, if I may
Float atop the water
Ride above the fray
–
My Lord, my light, my compass
On course, my rudder straight
His heart upon my heart of hearts
To gently lead the way
–
Fully tuned  to Jesus
Guided by His word
Singing like a mourning dove
His song my heart has heard

Above the fierce melee
I shall not be not dismayed
I’ll slice it clean, let God allay
I shall not be afraid
–
Sailing In His Spirit
To cease or to engage
I’m letting go and letting God
Forgiveness wins the day
