HELP

If you’re looking for some help
With what you’re going through
And if everything  you’ve tried
Has left you feeling blue
Then hand it over straight away
To He who knows the cure
You needn’t go another day
With what you must endure.
Jesus suffered everything
From hate right through to pain
He understands your every mood
He longs to keep you sane
Let Him guide you [...]

HUMDRUM

You’re finding life is humdrum
You’re finding church a bore
The thrill you got from serving Him
Is sadly there no more
You’re going through the motions
The words you do not mean
You might as well just disappear
As though you’d never been.
Maybe you are holding back
From giving all you’ve got
To He who knows you inside out
Who’s loved you from year [...]

STAND

What do people see in you
Are you a blessing in their eyes
Always there to be a help
Or a Christian in disguise
Do you fall in with their world
Laugh out loudly at their jokes
Light extinguished in their sight
Keeping well in with the blokes.
Sadly, in your cowardly way
You are leading them to hell
Letting down the One you love
Choosing [...]

REFINE ME

I pray to You to give me strength,
To carry on with You,
Who gave up so much,just for me,
And made my life brand new,
Who has been with me,every step,
Along the narrow way,
It really is a miracle,
That I am here today.
For You have worked so hard on me,
Quite painfully at times,
And looking back, now,I can see,
The reasons [...]

HEAT AND SHADE

It’s very hot, it’s stifling
And I feel so oppressed
The world is burning round me
I’m feeling overdressed
So I retreat into the shade
Where coolness welcomes me
In peace and calm where I can sit
Is where I want to be.
To gaze upon the fringe of hell
Whilst sitting in the cool
Reminds me that I’m safe and sound
I could have been [...]

YESTERDAY

Yesterday they had a home
A job and family
Everything was going well
As far as they could see
In paradise they reaped the joy
That Christmas brought along
And peace, it rained upon their lives
How could things go so wrong.
Their lives were flattened by the waves
And everything washed clean
Their treasures stored upon the earth
Had perished in the sea
The rich and [...]

SUPERHERO

Jesus is our superhero
Though like Batman,He is not
Doesn’t get on with the devil
Cause he hurts us quite a lot
Jesus won a special battle
Died upon an ugly cross
Rose again to give us victory
It’s our gain,the devils’ loss.
Jesus is our superhero
Helps us out in many ways
Lives inside us through His Spirit
Keeps us safe from day to day
We [...]

RESTORATION

Peace has fallen on this person
In a static place, no less
It’s a lull before the storm breaks
Restoration time, I guess
To the state that He created
Undefiled by human touch
Like an onion, we’ve gained layers
Some a few, but many much.
Take a painting, sad and lifeless
Vibrant colours dulled by time
You can damage hidden beauty
As you scrub away the [...]

OIL

How much oil is in your sump
Are you heading for a bump
Do you keep your levels high
Or flicker meekly with a sigh
Does the thought of seeking God
Slow your canter to a plod
Scared of moving off your perch
Quivering in the pew at church
Are you frightened to let go
Let the thermals through you flow
Leap into the great [...]

SAMARITAN

Hello there, are you the one
The Lord will use today
Are you prepared and open to
Whatever comes your way
For we are His disciples
Samaritan and friend
His hands and feet upon this earth
To be the perfect blend
Encourager and listener
A help in times of need
With the love of Jesus
His strength that can succeed
Through broken, humble vessels
Who know where they [...]
