Starry Sky

I thank You for the stars at night

I know that I can never leave Your sight

If You know each star by name

Then You know everyone else the same

You know so much more than I

When I look up into that deep, starry sky

I think how much You love Your creation

Heaven is beyond my imagination

I thank You for the home prepared for me

I know there will be so much more to see

A new heaven and new earth in all their glory

For me, this is a wonderful story

Help me to live in joy and peace

Until one day hatred and evil will cease

Also, help me show others the way

Until I see You in heaven, I pray

I Can Carry Pain

I can carry pain

And still wear a smile

The promise I’ll gain

May take a while

The road may be long

And my heart weary

But I’ll still have a song

My load He’ll carry

God knows my heart

The sacrifices I’ve made

He’ll do His part

His life He gave

Deep cries out to deep

It’s not in vain

My heart He’ll keep

He’ll carry my pain

His joy is mine

His life fulfilling

I’ll be fine

His peace indwelling

Little Baby in the Womb

Oh, little baby in the womb -

Why has your mother made it your tomb?

It was not meant to be a place of pain and death,

But a place of life, to give you breath.

God the Father could see your tiny hands and feet.

He could see you move and hear your heartbeat.

But the world told your mother a lie,

And now at night God hears her cry.

There’s a longing and aching in her heart.

She desperately wants to have a fresh start.

If God can hold you, Baby, He can hold your mother too -

In Jesus there is forgiveness and a life that is new.

Perfect Peace

Peace is a word on fire
For peace is our burning desire
But where is this perfect peace
To which we would aspire?

Can it be sold in a store?
Is it the peace without war?
What is this perfect peace
Of which we need more?

Peace, where hurt is abated
Can it be duplicated?
The Father’s perfect peace
Which is so often rejected

Peace is as free as a dove
And it comes from the heavens above
How do we obtain perfect peace?
By accepting God’s love
