Consider HIM

When I track my weary way,
When fresh trials come each day,
When my faith and hope are dim,
Then, my soul, consider Him.

For the sake of the lambs today,
For when sheep are lost, what a terrible cost
The lambs will have to pay!

The Proper Way for a Man to Pray

Published by reflectionsintheword

“Last year I fell in Hodgkin’s well
Head first,” said Cyrus Brown.
“With both my heels a’sticking up,
My head a’pointing down.
And I made a prayer right then and there,
Best prayer I ever said—
The prayerest prayer I ever prayed
Was standing on my head.”

Flower–strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

[God] withholds my heart’s request
His “no” means “something better”.
He will give me what is best.

Sing to Him your songs of praises
Bring to Him your gifts of love
Give to Him your very finest
All the King is worthy of

Take Up Thy Cross

Published by reflectionsintheword

Take up thy cross, the Saviour said,
If thou wouldst My disciple be;
Deny thyself, the world forsake,
And humbly follow after Me.

In His Hands

Published by reflectionsintheword

Lay hold of me with Thy strong grasp,
Let Thy almighty arm
In its embrace my weakness clasp,
And I shall fear no harm.

No Will but Thine

Published by reflectionsintheword

‘Tis my aim Jesus divine,
Hence to have no will but thine,
Let me covenant with thee,
Thine for evermore to be:
This my prayer, and this alone,
Saviour, let Thy will be done!
