THEY ARE ALL YOURS

Lord,

All the attention and admiration;
All the compliments and doting;
All the beauty and elegance--
They all belong to You.
Yes, they are all Yours.

All the recognition and elevation;
All the posh and luxury;
All the sweetness and loveliness--
They all belong to you.
Yes, they are all Yours.

THROUGH THE NIGHTS

Yes, there have been nights,
And a whole lot of them.
But true to His Word,
He has always been there
To hold and carry me through.

There will yet be more nights,
This I know,
For that's what life is all about--
There can never be a day without a night--
But I know He will bear me through them all,
Like an eagle does her eaglets,
Both now and forevermore.

I FACED MY FEAR

I did it again,
I faced my fear--
This numbing fear.
But this time I won,
And my fear failed.
My heart was right in my mouth,
Beating real hard in my chest.
But I did it.
We did it--the Lord and I.
He helped me numb my fear.

SHINE, SUN, SHINE

You awoke quite early this morning
Golden in the sky and smiling down at us.
It promised to be a warm day, I knew it right from my room--
As I walked out with my jacket slung across my shoulder, hands gloveless.
Shine, Sun, shine--
Your warm glow we delight in.
