Encouragement for Today
Welcome to a place where you can find encouragement for your daily walk with God!
Row by Row
The Weaver’s shuttle passes through
The warp of life each day
With crafted threads of varied hue –
Of crimson, gold, or gray.
At first they’re loose and somewhat raw,
We process – laugh or grieve –
The swirl of things we felt and saw
And wonder at the weave.
Until the batten sets the weft
And joins it to the whole –
As time moves on, the past is left
To guide but not control.
…
That God Would Die for Me
That God Himself would die for me –
Oh, what a contemplation –
To save my soul from hell and death
And righteous condemnation.
The mighty God, eternal, good,
Unending, changeless, holy,
Came down to earth, became a man,
So humble, meek, and lowly.
The Lord of all paid taxes here,
He hungered, slept, was tempted,
He faced the worse to pass each test
We’d failingly attempted.
…
Send Revival
Lord, send a great revival
To sweep our land once more,
A movement of Your Spirit
That reaches shore to shore.
Awaken those in darkness
And open blinded eyes;
Send out Your gospel power
And in Your strength arise.
Stir up Your church, O Savior,
To truly seek Your face
Forsaking sin and living
Transformed by holy grace.
…

Faith, Hope, Love
Faith thinks on what the Lord has done:
It goes to Calvary,
It sees God’s love through Christ His Son
And all through history.
Hope thinks of what the Lord will do:
It sees eternity,
It holds each promise made as true
And lives for what will be.
While love responds to both each day:
It worships fervently,
It serves with joy and keeps God’s way
In bold humility.
…
God Made That Promise to Me
My life is secure in the palm of His hand
For God made that promise to me
There’s good and reward in the path He has planned
For God made that promise to me
Salvation is mine by the grace of my King
For God made that promise to me
And nothing can change it or alter a thing
For God made that promise to me
…
No Plus Ones for Heaven
There’s no plus ones for heaven –
Each entry stands alone
And those who wish to enter
Must each secure their own.
No matter how I’d like to
Ensure you have a place,
You must apply directly
To have a share of grace.
But God’s so rich in mercy
That all who come receive,
And all who ask are given
His gift when they believe.
…
Because God Never Changes
Because God never changes
I never have to fear
That what I’ve done to please Him
Won’t count when He is near.
I know that my salvation
Will always be secure
Because the One who promised
Will evermore endure.
I know just what to study
To find what He likes best,
And know the Bible tells me
How I can pass each test.
…
Help Me Live for You
Lord, help me crucify the flesh
And let it have no space
To turn my soul away from you
Or block the path of grace.
Remove the pleasures it affords
That lure me from what’s right,
And change the things that I desire
To seek Your pure delight.
Awake in me a holy thirst
For righteousness and good,
Please help me love the things You love
And do what Jesus would.
…
His Rightful Praise
There’s no one like the Lord
In patience, love, and might,
In holiness and grace,
In truth and glorious light.
All things belong to Him
Because He made them all –
He holds it all in place
And guides things great and small.
Though angels all rejoiced
And every person sang,
Though birds and oceans joined
And all the heavens rang,
…
