God Will Take Care of You

 

God Will Take Care of You

No matter if you are down on your luck or you’re having relationship issues. God will take care of you. God always provides and He will always fight your fights for you. All you have to do is ask Him and then get out of His way. Are you in danger? God offers protection. Are you heavy burdened with health issues or grievances. God offers comfort. No matter where you are or what you are doing, God will take care of you.

Lyrics by Civilla D. Martin, arranged by W. Stillman Martin

“Be not dismayed whatever betide, God will take care of you; Beneath His wings of love abide, God will take care of you.

Through days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you; When dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you.

All you may need He will provide, God will take care of you; Nothing you ask will be denied, God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you; Lean, weary one, upon His breast, God will take care of you.

God will take care of you, through every day, Over all the way; He will take care of you, God will take care of you.”

Leaning on The Everlasting Arms

 

                                Leaning On the Everlasting Arms

Just knowing Jesus is always there for us to lean on should give us peace. When we have a relationship with Jesus, it is a joyful fellowship. There is nothing to dread or fear and things always look brighter when we lean on Jesus’ arms.

Lyrics by Elisha A. Hoffman, arranged by Anthony J. Showalter

“What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms; what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, leaning on the everlasting arms; Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I fear, leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.”

Each Step I Take

 

                                                    Each Step I Take

Every morning we wake up a little closer to heaven. We have good days and we have bad days. It’s not the day itself that will decide whether it is a good day or a bad day, but it’s our reactions to those things that go awry. We must determine whether we will live under the circumstances or above the circumstances. When we allow troubles to take us down, then things will only get worse. It we have faith and trust in our Lord and Savior, we learn to live above the circumstances and things will always work out better.

Lyrics by W. Elmo Mercer, arranged by W. Elmo Mercer

“Each step I take my Savior goes before me, and with His loving hand He leads the way. And with each breath I whisper, “I adore Thee;” Oh, what joy to walk with Him each day.

At times I feel my faith begin to waver, when up ahead I see a chasm wide. It’s then I turn and look up to my Savior, I am strong when He is by my side.

O trust in God, no matter come what may, for life eternal is in His hand. He holds the key that opens up the way. That will lead me to the promised land.

Each step I take I know that He will guide me; To higher ground He ever leads me on. Until some day the last step will be taken. Each step I take just leads me closer home.

Blessed Assurance

 

                                                Blessed Assurance

It is a blessed assurance knowing that Jesus is mine. I can claim Him without any hesitance. He shows us what heaven is like, simply because His example and character depict heaven. As a Christian we can claim that we were born in His Spirit and washed in His blood. I think of being raptured often and what it will be like to worship at God’s feet. I will surely be happy and blessed, so I go on watching and waiting for the angels to come and take me home to worship the one I Love.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by Phoebe P. Knapp

“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Perfect submission, perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angel’s descending, bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest; Watching and waiting, looking above, filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.”

When I See My Savior

 

                                            When I See My Savior

When Jesus died upon the cross, he didn’t just die for one person, not just for you, not just for me. He died for every person in the world. From the kindest to the cruelest, He gave His life so that we may live. He shed His blood so that we can be forgiven of our sins. What a burden for one person to bear. And what a burden for His mother to see. When we wander away from Jesus, we need to remember how He suffered for us and come back to the comfort of His arms.

Lyrics by Maud Frazer, arranged by Robert Harkness

“When I see my Savior, hanging on Calvary, bearing there for sinners’ bittersweet agony, gratitude overwhelms me, makes mine eyes grow dim, all my ransomed being captive is to Him.

I can see the blood drops, red beneath His thorny crown, from the cruel nail wounds now they are falling down; Lord, when I would wander from Thy love away, let me see those blood drops shed for me that day.

“Why has thou forsaken!” list to that sad, sad moan! Oh, His heart was broken, suffering there alone; Broken then that mortals never need cry in vain, for God’s love and comfort, in the hour of pain.”

We Have an Anchor

 

We Have an Anchor

Hold on tight, don’t look down. Keep Your focus.

When you are in the middle of a storm, whether it be physical, mental or spiritual, our  Savior offers an anchor. Hold on to Him when you’re afraid. Keep your focus on Jesus. He will walk you through your storms, through your fears. When the night becomes dark and your thoughts go to the “what ifs”, go to Jesus, tell Him all your troubles. He will give you peace.

Lyrics by Priscilla J. Owens, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“Will your anchor hold in the storms of life, when the clouds unfold their wings of strife? When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain, will your anchor drift, or firm remain?

It is safely moored, will the storm withstand, for its well secured by the Savior’s hand; And the cables, passed from His heart to mine, can defy that blast, through strength divine.

It will firmly hold in the straits of fear, when the breakers have told the reef is near; Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow, not an angry wave shall our bark overflow.

When our eyes behold through the gathering night the city of gold, our harbor bright, we shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore, with the storms all past forevermore.

We have an anchor that keeps the soul steadfast and sure while the billows roll, fastened to the rock which cannot move. Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.”

Anywhere With Jesus

 

Anywhere With Jesus

In a time of chaos and uncertainty, we need a guiding hand. Jesus is always that guiding hand. Our trust in Him will keep us safe and secure and we will never be alone. Even though we may have hard times, He provides a way out and points the way. His way is the only way that will lead us to our heavenly home.

Lyrics by William C. Poole, arranged by Charles H. Gabriel

“Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go, anywhere He leads me in this world below; Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade; Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid.

Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone; Other friends may fail me, He is still my own; Though His hand may lead me over dreary ways, anywhere with Jesus is a house of praise.

Anywhere with Jesus over land and sea, telling souls in darkness of salvation free; Ready as He summons me to go or stay, anywhere with Jesus when He points the way.

Anywhere with Jesus I can go to sleep, when the darkening shadows round about me creep; Knowing I shall waken never more to roam, anywhere with Jesus will be home, sweet home.

Anywhere! Anywhere! Fear I cannot know; Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.”
