DANCING  IN HIS  GRACE
 

Casting off my anxiety
Focusing on His Majesty
He decks my soul with sweet peace
Bidding my fears cease.

The Omnipotent is in control
So all my burdens onto Him I'll roll
He who puts on my face a smile
Gives me strength for the miles.

Gazing upon Him- my Sunshine,
He shows His plans for this life of mine
Filling me with hope and faith divine
To know it shall all be fine.

Captivated by His love, I yield
Then He takes me into the holy field
In the field of His grace,
I enjoy His warm embrace.

In the light of His countenance
Favor flows like sweet fragrance
So I praise Him, lifting up my voice
Earnestly declaring that He is my choice.

Delirious with joy in His presence;
Marveling at such effulgence
I worship in humble reverence
Him who is life's beauty and essence.

His power and glory increasingly I see;
With His angels all around, caring for me
My pains and sorrows they efface
And set me dancing In His grace!

Lord,you have assigned me my portion and my cup;you have made my lot secure.The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;surely I have a delightful inheritance.
Psalm 16 vs 5-6(NIV)

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL FOR JESUS




Help dry those children's tears
Help relieve them of their fears
Help make them again to cheer
Do something beautiful for Jesus.

Lend a listening ear and a helping hand
A shoulder to cry upon; Be their healing balm
In empathy,let them know Christ understands
Share the beautiful love of Jesus.

Be the rainbow on their blue sky
Bright colors of love to end their cries
Blessed with love they find wings to fly
Fly beautifully for Jesus.

Give clean water to the thirsty
Clothe the naked,feed the hungry
By these,His love they will see
See the beautiful love of Jesus.

Tell each one the good news
Through every means you can use
Till the Lord they gracefully choose
Share the gospel of our beautiful Jesus.

Oh,let fall the refreshing rain
Oh,may His comfort wane their pains
Oh,may they rejoice and dance again
....Something beautiful for Jesus.
