NEVER ALONE

Each day around us we find tremendous evil
Trying hard in our lives to make us change
Grabbing hold of all we find to be precious
Hoping fervently to drive our minds insane

For evil surely knows us so much better
Than we might truly really know ourselves
For it can reach deep inside of our souls
Letting us have a view of our former hells

In viewing we see we are but a step away
From all in the world which might make us fall
That easily might cause us to transgress again
Had we not turned from sin to answer Gods call

For our God knows when we are at our weakest
And he will never let us endure alone each day
For He will always arrive on time in our lives
Casting out the evil that in our lives tries to stay

For God has surely chosen all of those He loves
To daily remain safely within His tender embrace
So the evil trying to find many who belong to him
Each new day they’ll be blessed not to have to face

Because even if they do he will be there standing
Lifting up our lives with the power of His grace
As we believe in his promise to never leave us
So evil times we will never alone have to face.

(1976)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 12:11
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil
with good.

Hebrews 2:18
For since He Himself was tempted in that which
He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid
of those who are tempted.

1 John, 4:4
Little children, you belong to God and have
overcome them, because the one who is in you
is greater than the one who is in the world.

James 1:12
How blessed is the man who endures temptation!
When he has passed the test, he will receive
the victor’s crown of life that God has promised
to those who keep on loving him.

Thank you lord for your understanding
And for the love which you freely give
Thank you for all our moments together
Tasting the spirit’s power which forgives

When I was young I dreamed each day
Of what I would soon grow up to be
And now as I awaken each new day
I find it in me when your love I see

I never deserved to taste of your favor
Or to be blessed by your forgiving grace
There was nothing in my life I could do
Without you To erase my sins disgrace

You allowed me to speak and praise you
Every moment of my life I happily live
You also blessed me to share with many
Sweet praises for the pure love You give

When I awaken to each beautiful morning
I thank you Lord for this love I receive
A treasure unmeasured in its perfect value
That by your grace will always live in me

(November 1976)

Hebrews 4:16
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne
of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time of need.”

Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”

YOU SPOKE TO ME

You spoke to me Lord,
even when I would
not listen to you…

When I closed my ears
and my heart to your
word, you spoke to me

And it mattered not whether
my heart did not want to
listen to your word, it still
penetrated my soul

My mind tried to dissuade me
from the one thought, that you
were what my heart really needed

To be successful in all which
my hands would try to do,
because without You, true
success will flee

And my hardened heart was
made soft, by the cutting
edge of your very sharp sword

For Your living word now
separated the flesh from the
spirit, leaving my heart so
very assured

And I found you had cleansed
the temple, where my sinful
heart had always been…

While your Spirit entered
sitting down on its throne,
chasing away the last
remnants of any sin

Lord now lead me each day
in the way I should go
and from your word never
let me stray

And let all whom I see
be persuaded like me
they also need You in
their lives everyday.

(November 1976)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 30:21
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the
right or when you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

John 6:63
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no
help at all. The words that I have spoken to you
are spirit and life.

You bring me in my life full circle
To rest serenely in your arms
You protect my entire person
So no part of me will suffer harm

When I am hungry Lord you feed me
And when I thirst you make me full
The life essence alive in your word
Makes me better in all I seek to do

Whenever I feel sorry for myself
Your spirit brings my eyes to see
There are many others in this world
Who do suffer much more than me

Each new day Lord I am empowered
To pray for all whom I daily meet
So they may come to know the love
Of the God who satisfies my needs.

The sun shines down
upon you each day, in such
a very endearing way

The sky seems to embrace
wholeheartedly, every
word your lips will say

And flowers open their
petals wide, so they might
consume of your sweet perfume

As all give their attention
to one of God’s loveliest
creations, for they all pay
sweet homage to you.

This morning my God’s sweet blessings
Have given birth today within my face
As I awoken to greet His wholesome love
I found myself blessed by His loving grace

I woke up this wonderful morning knowing
While I slept last night I was never alone
For the power of his spirit was always near
As within my heart He found a faithful home

This morning I knew would be quite well
Because of the perfect peace which stays
Realizing as the hours passed last night
You had already blessed the coming day

Within my spirit I felt your excellent joy
Which Lord, I knew could only come from You
While inside of my heart I am very thankful
You allowed my eyes to open again its true

And this morning Lord I will praise you
With everything my heart attempts to do
Letting all know with my glowing smile
My joy within exists because of only You.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father
has given to us, that we should be called
children of God; and so we are. The reason
why the world does not know us is that it
did not know him.

I find my strength being deeply renewed
As my spirit bows before You each day
I have no fear of anything in this world
Because in my life Your grace will stay

I find myself seeking to serve each day
The One whose love will never let me be
Since the first time He called me by name
From worldly fear His love has set me free

I find myself refreshed by many sweet moments
When my heart is gently revitalized by his hand
And even when I find my body aches painfully
He always lifts me up and helps me to stand

I will not give into the diseases of this world
Nor will I let my mind by doubt be led astray
I believe with the Spirit’s power in my heart
That to live in this world there is no other way

For I breathe each day His tender sweet breath
Which my Lord’s blessing has allowed me to have
And I will never seek to be separated from Him
Not from the One love who always keeps me glad.

Proverbs 16:20
Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,and
blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD.

THE PATH

The path we walk will always end as one
Though we will try to control all we do
We can never alter what is to come in life
Unless the path we choose leads back to you

Many things bring us happiness as we grow
Many sorrows will tend to make us sway
We will see ourselves daily change in life
Many times we will find ourselves to stray

Our first breath brought our life’s footprint
A gift from the living God alone who creates
Yet He had a limit in life intended for us
And with a simple choice we might shape our fate

Face everything which tries to master your soul
Remain strong and from His wisdom never run
For the path of life will remain true to you
If we choose understanding we will overcome

When we choose the straight and narrow path
Electing from the wide worldly one to run away
We will live to taste of the Lord’s promises
As His blood already paved the narrow paths way

For the material and flesh of this world will pass
And only the God filled Spirit will eternally last.

WITH HIS LOVE

16 - 1

Each day if I stumble and fall
Who is close by to make it right
Who hears my heartfelt cries?
Whether morning or late at night

Is it not He who will always hear
Is it not He who wipes all my tears
Is it not He who alone knows it all
So that never long will be my fall

For He knew me before my life began
And I will never lose my faith in Him
For it was He who first chose my name
And I will love His ways more than sin

Because my faith is very strong in Him
That over my life’s failings I will win
Knowing each day as I lift up His name
With His love I will not be put to shame.

(January 1977)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over
you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.

MY LIFE’S ONLY LOVE

As the sun slowly sets behind darkened mountains
As its radiance softly disappears beneath the sea
There I find in these most captivating of moments
I will always have a deep desire by your side to be

When the moon’s beauty appears from the shadows
As the stars dance forward delivering their light
I will treasure our precious moments together
As our hearts dance together as stars shine bright

We now hear the rhythmic serenade of trade winds
With hauntingly beautiful melodies filling our ears
Finding nothing is more important at this moment
As the many times I hear you say ‘I love you dear’

Beneath the energetic spirits of smiling stars up high
As they send down heavenly fragrances from up above
Realize no one will be as special to me in this world
As you the beautiful one whom I call my life’s love.

(November 1983 Ohau, Hi)
